Hey Peeps,
I'm thinking of heading to the Philippines (currently in Colombia.) I've been hearing the legends of Philippines, kind of excited to check it out for myself. I've been there once before, on business, only for a week.
At the time I thought Manila was kind of a shit hole and didn't spend any time there after my business trip. But now I'm hearing all these amazing stories of guys getting laid like crazy, as well as heard about the amazing beaches. I have some more free time now and am thinking of giving the country another shot.
Questions on Manila & Philippines
A few questions. I've been reading some of the threads here, but there are a few things I'm still fuzzy about as I'm planning my trip.
1) Manila vs Cebu vs Davaos. From what I understand, Manila seems to be easier to get laid, especially online. Cebu seems to be decent for day/night game. Davaos is cheaper than both cities.
What I couldn't tell from the posts is what the overall quality of life is like in each city. Which cities have good amenities, gyms, beaches, cafes, etc? Which city has more smiling people, as opposed to beggars on the street? Which cities feel like fun to live in?
Also, I couldn't quite tell if Cebu is a beach town or not. I get that it's on an island and is close to beaches, but it seems like it's not actually a beach town. Is that correct? (Same question to Davaos.)
2) I'm Asian. I'm curious - do I still get a foreigner bonus? I'm reading these threads here by a lot of white guys who get stared at and laid like a beast in the philippines. I'm just wondering, how much of that applies to me? (Half Chinese, half Thai.)
3) What part of Manila is nice to live in? How does Makati compare with Quezon? What other areas should I be looking at? Interested both in terms of a "game" angle, as well as overall quality of life.
