| 25th September 2008 Bohol Diving | What a trip! - From: From Cebu, through Bantayan, to Bohol By the description of your trip and your photos it seems like you got to enjoy a vast majority of the beauties and sites that Bohol has to offer. I would love to be able to visit, especially after you said that the people are genuinely friendly and generous people. |
| 23rd September 2008 Bohol Diving | Real Experience - From: From Cebu, through Bantayan, to Bohol Hearing about Bohol and the experience from a real person makes me more confident in visiting such a great place! |
| 25th June 2008 mizz | Thanks - From: Manila, or: Why You Should Always Come to Wherever People Warn You Against Thanks for the nice comments about the Philippines. I'm glad you liked it. I bet you mostly stayed around Makati where greenbelt and the shopping malls are located. :) Many confuse Makati for Manila... Many tourist end up booking their stay in Manila, Malate area, not Makati... that is why they get disappointed. too bad for them. :) For those who would like to go to the Philippines, i would suggest to veer away from Manila or Malate Area and stay in Makati. I know it is kind of confusing...just a little advice for everyone. :) |

And of course, we all hope you return and try out the other parts of the country; Palawan, perhaps? |
| 30th September 2007 Jules | World's Center of Marine Biodiversity - From: From Cebu, through Bantayan, to Bohol If you want to see the best of Philippine diving spots search for Apo Island in Negros Occidental, Tubattaha reef in Palawan and Verde Island passage which is considered the "center of the center of the world's marine biodiversity". There are more marine species there than anywhere else on the planet. Anyway, its nice to know that you enjoyed touring the Philippines. You guys are most certainly welcome to visit our homeland anytime. |

| 11th September 2007 odedromi | The Egyptian Restaurant is - From: Manila, or: Why You Should Always Come to Wherever People Warn You Against called Jerusalem Restaurant and it's located on the street parellel to A.Mabini from the west (forgot its name) and in the cornet of Salas St. (I think). There's another midde-eastern restaurant adjacent to it, but it's usually much less packed so we didn't try it. Their Hummus, Arabic Salad and Babaganoush are good, the Labne so-so and the Shisha and Arabic Tea are excellent. Hope that helps... O&R |

| 8th August 2007 gary | I thought there were punches thrown? - From: Arriving in UB, Mongolia: Our Ups and Downs The story I heard in Israel (5th hand) was the you and Oded were attached with a old fashioned mobile phone in the street ( - you know the old school type "bricks" that they used in the film Wall Street etc) but that due to his Israeli Army training, Oded took out half a dozen Mongolians!
