Hey thanks, you seem to have experience with a lot of places
Do you have any opinion of the Philippines, specifically Boracay? I am considering staffing an office in manilla in the future (I currently Outsource quite a bit), so I am taking a serious look at living close by in Boracay or Makati
Boracay is full of hookers. I don't think I saw that many non-hooker Philipinas there, at least in the clubs. I wasn't there during the high season so there weren't a ton of foreign tourists either, but I know its a popular place so there should be plenty of Europeans there in high season. I imagine some would have jungle fever but the problem is that it didnt seem the Philipino guys were that aggressive with the tourist chicks, the way the Bali dudes are, so I dont know if you get that type of atmosphere there. So overall I'd say that Boracay would be a tougher place, also its more of a family/couple place than a party location for younger people, so that's a drawback too.
Good luck.
