[Gandalf]

Are you finished spamming now Bruce?

[brucelee]

This is my thread and I am not spamming. I'm putting some trivia on the Philippines.


I'd like to support with evidence my claim about boxing being a way of life in the Philippines.

[Gandalf]

In that case, do carry on....

[Julius Rain]

i just got back from the philippines .

There are like thousands of islands in the phillipines, pick a small one and bring your girl...play tarzan and jane its a fucking blast! no place like the islands of the philippines.

on the dark side though becare which island you choose cause theyre are rumors about canniblism on the wrong island.

on a side note, i fucking hate manila airport. arriving at night is the worst, the aircondition is off and the custom line is so long! and slow!

having never been to asia i still find myself asking the question why nearly all references to ladyboys or as they are known "transexuals" end up going back to the phillipines

Isn't that mainly a Thailand thing?

I don't move in those circles so don't really know.
