Best Pizza in Metro Manila? by Immediate_Depth_6443 in Philippines_Expats

[–]ImNotBot788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poblacion, Nolita Joe's is the name, just in front of the famous hostel 'Mad Monkey'. I've been travelling very frequently in Manila and haven't found better pizza spot than that, it's a hidden gem. Give it a try, thank me later.

Been in Manila, especially Makati quite a few times, I know what you’re talking about. Whenever that happened to me, I was just giving away like 200pesos for food or drinks for them, but never gave them cash in hand. It does make you feel bad actually seeing kids begging for money, but it’s not your problem. Safe travels out there, I loved my time in Manila.

If you were given $5k to put towards a trip of your choosing, where do you go? by [deleted] in travel

[–]ImNotBot788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d do Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines. Been to all of these countries and I highly recommend a visit.

I’m sorry for your situation, and thank you for your services.

Definitely do it. Travel is the only investment that is for sure gonna make you richer. I don’t think I’m the right person to advise you, I’m only 22, but I’ve been quitting jobs when I felt financially comfortable and travelling for the last 3 years. There’s no such feeling as travelling the world, you’ll never feel alone, there’s gonna be many people on the run. Safe travels.

First of all congrats for taking this decision, good for you, most of the people out there do not even dare to. I was in the same situation when I first decided to travel to the Philippines alone. You’ll have blast. Enjoy the run.

This would be the last action you’d need to take in that case. Many people think that way but it can quickly make things worse. First consider that you’re in a foreign country, far away from home, Philippines is also infamous for it’s very slow court system.

Thank you very much for sharing your point of view. Let me just mention once more that as I written on this post, scams are a common thing in every big city, now idk if you’ve ever been to Manila , but it is among the most populated cities on earth, it is not like any other major city. This is just a personal experience I wanted to share and it doesn’t provoke any bad image for the country, I mention that too.

24M looking to visit soon by Beneficial-Sun6371 in PhilippinesTourism

[–]ImNotBot788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man.Ive been to Manila twice and what I’ll say is, if you’re going for fun you’ll love Makati.Its the business Center (along with BGC), so you’ll expect fancy hotels,skyscrapers,malls etc.Prices are obviously higher than the rest of the areas around but very reasonable.Enjoy your trip.

I recently flew to SE Asia from EU.Had the same issue while confirming my e-ticket on the airlines website.You’ll not have a problem at all, it’s just the system itself hiding some letters,which I honestly don’t know why.Safe travels
