    actually, my idea of a vacation is...
    a nice airconditioned hotel room, a comfortable chair where i can read star trek beside a big window with a nice view, a phone where i can call for room service, and, most important....
    a non-ringing cellphone!
    i am happy minding the hotel room, even as the rest of my brood are crawling all over the tourist spots.

    It was an unfortunate incident.... In the video, the Brit was asking for help, but those people just ignored her plea.....

    If even a law abiding filipino is scared or wary roaming around in the country, how much more for a non filipino visitor

    Meanwhile, I'll bet the LTFRB continues to say that these taxis and burning buses are a non-issue as compared to the likes of Uber.

    malaysia? pag pinoy ka at hindi ka nakabihis mayaman e tingin sa iyo walang pera. kaya pag pumasok ka sa stores sa mall at nagtanong ka di ka papansinin. sigawan ka pa ng "filipino no money, out!" pag babae ka at nag-land trip ka from singapore baka hingian ka pa ng kiss ng imigration officer bago tatakan ng visa ang passport mo.

    thailand? ok lang basta ingat lang sa mga gangs, both local and foreign. note wala ka mababalitaan na gang killings sa thailand because the news is suppressed, sop na yun sa kanila lalo na kung sa tourist areas ang crime. they are protecting their tourist industry kaya walang news about crime sa tourist areas.

    vietnam? pag sa south ok lang kasi nakaka-intindi sila ng english. sa north medyo mahirap. pero bida pinoy dun, kakampi laban sa china! generally pag nasa south ka at nalaman pinoy ka e friend ka na nila, lalo na mga older generation.

    indonesia? generally peaceful kahit andun ang ji. the islamists are a very small percentage of the population. basta huwag ka lang sa jakarta, sobrang traffic.

    philippines? e huwag ka sa manila, o mindanao. stay away from metro manila, high crime rate. stay away from mindanao except kung gusto mong maging guest ng abu sayyaff for 2 years hehehe!

    brunei? but who in their right mind would go to brunei for a holiday? ano meron dun? wala!
