It makes sense to go there. Beautiful place, money goes a long way over there, I don't need a visa and I heard the people are nicer over there.

I feel really intimidated going to France or any other European country. I feel like I don't deserve to go to any of those places lol.

It's okay if you know someone who speaks tagalog or you have someone who can offer a place to stay. Most people there know English. Just get familiar with the currency. It's easy to overpay for stuff. Drink soda from bags and watch people kill a pig before a huge celebration.

Its fine. Stick to the malls if you are in a city. Go to the beaches if you are not. Dont go out at night. Always drink water from an unopened water bottle. Eat street food at your own risk. Always lock the doors when you take a cab and be sure its an authorized driver.

Philippine taxis are tricycles. There are no doors. They are everywhere and you can get to any shopping area for less than $5

I went in 2012. It's probably the most beautiful place I've ever been. A step up from Thailand aesthetically and much easier to travel than most south east Asian countries because everyone speaks English. There is the risk of petty theft but take normal precautions and you'll be fine. Going to bars is fine as long as you stick in groups. Unfortunately many of the best places to tourist are closed this year for foreigners and it's unclear if they will be reopened next year.

There's also a terrorism issue that has been going on for awhile. Expect to see security armed with shotguns at malls. Expect to be searched. They even inspect your car for bombs

Roadside shops have bottled soda. They pour them in a plastic bag and put a long straw. They keep the bottle for refilling at their local bottling plant.

I would avoid tricycles imo. Whatever TC wants.

Pickpockets and scams are the things that stand out. You will be mugged or robbed anywhere if you walk around alone at night.

That's true in almost any city anywhere though.


That's what I meant

Don't walk around with selfie sticks and loads of camera equipment and you won't get robbed.
