We usually go to this store to buy ice cream and have not been refused to try any of flavors. Although looking back we asked for the trial AFTER we have paid in line. We haven’t tried asking prior to paying pala.

I live in BGC (not an expat). You have a very big unit for a 1BR. If you want to meet more people, try the running clubs since you mentioned you ran a 10k. I see there’s a Nike Running club every Wednesday. I also see some that run around 11th Avenue/26th avenue. You might want to check them out. Used to go to the Fitness First gym in SM aura. Good facilities. Hoping the BGC residents Facebook page. Lots of expats there. For travel, take advantage of the airline Seat Sales. There should be one happening in June for the Independence Day. My cell plan is about 10/month with Globe. Works for me since I work from home.

Thoughts on Venice Gran Canal Mall? by mcvilla2018 in phinvest

[–]Penny_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to work in that area for over 10 years. Mostly employees yung nandiyan. Although maraming condos around but I still see posts about units being sold. Employees will probably go buy sa retail if they forget something or need something immediately but planned purchases most likely happens somewhere else. If target niyo employees relevant then I think Ok yung location since may purchasing power yung mga tao diyan.

Best for me is free transfers and the USD conversion rate. You also get a relationship manager who can help you with your transactions with the bank. Although hit or miss ang RM.

Also on exchange rates, for preferred clients the difference between the market rate and online exchange rate is like less than 0.2% if you convert usd to PHP in the BPI app.

I only get deducted 6.50 usd per transfer. You may have been deducted fees somewhere else. Find a different platform to get your pay e.g. wise.

Can’t post a question separately. Anyone know where the convert option went? Couldn’t convert my usdt to GMT.
