Philippines is the biggest shithole ever. It's a kidnapping capital of the world - more people get kidnapped there than in any other country in the world and that also includes countries with active war zones. It's also the most dangerous country for journalists in the world - more journalists get killed there than in any other country in the world, including countries with active war zones. It smells like piss everywhere you go and filth floats in every body of water. Bitches are meagre at best with overpopulation being the only benefit - given that there are more Filipinos per square foot than there are cockroaches in their country, even at a one to million ratio you are bound to occasionally stumble across a half decent bitch. Shithole like that only attracts losers whose mental capabilities match that of the country - filthy, corrupt and failed. You twinky, are a match  |
Where have you been in The Philippines? It sounds like you had a really bad experience, did you stay in some ghetto province or something? Or in some cheap ghetto area?
The only thing I agree with is the cashier part. That is indeed true and very frustrating. But I don't do any shopping, so I don't experience that a lot.
But other than that, I don't agree with most of what you say.
Manila has some great areas with very good living, great malls, 5 star hotels, amazing nightlife and awesome restaurants. In all these places you just pay just a fraction of what you'd pay for the same life style, services and quality in Europe and the US.
If you want quality life you have to pay for it of course, but it's nothing compared to what you would pay for the same lifestyle in the US or Europe.
For $1000 - $1500 a month you can get an amazing 3 bedroom condo in a brand new high quality building in the best and most modern area of the capital, which includes full time staff that opens the door for you when you arrive, takes care of anything you need, then you have a full time maid that cooks, cleans, shops and takes care of everything you need. You have a gym a nice pool and everything is clean. I see a cockroach maybe twice a year.
Great restaurants are around the corner, including 5 star restaurants with international chefs. You can get any cuisine you want and the best food you can get for a fraction of the price what it would cost in the US or EU.
Of course this is expensive for 99% of the local people, who could never afford any of this, because they make $300 a month. But if you have an income that is decent in the US/EU you can live an amazing lifestyle that far exceeds what you would get in the US and Europe.
I can go to the best gourmet restaurants in the city, and have amazing meals prepared by international chefs for less than $40 per person (including wine). In restaurants like that in Europe and the US you'd be paying well over $100 - $150 per person (if not more). In all the quality places you pay less than half of what you would pay for the same service, food and quality in the EU/US.
I can go to Resorts World Manila and party in the best club in the country, which is comparable to the best clubs in Vegas in terms of quality, service, style, djs, sound and light system, atmosphere, etc. and get the best table in the club, hang out with the hottest models in the country and pay less than $500 (including plenty of bottles of gray goose and dom). A night out like that in Vegas woud cost at least 10x as much.
And if you're done clubbing you hop on the plane and take a 1 hour flight to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, where you can relax in amazing 5 star resorts. Or you take all the girls and take a 2 hour drive to a nice huge pool villa outside the city and continue the party for the rest of the weekend.
In this country you can live the lifestyle that most people can only dream of or see on TV.
