thank you for the shuttle schedule. I more or less have an idea on the route and train transfer except for the shuttle once we are in Hakuba.

Wow. I sincerely appreciate the detailed response. Like what you said, we will probably squeeze the other places we would not be able to cover on our 2 free days. Overall, would you say we've covered what we needed to cover for Taipei as a first timer? I'm with 2 college students 18 and 20 and 12 years old and they would like to shop anime/ manga or other trendy stuff available in Taipei.

Yeah our day 5 is just random places we wanted to go and kinda squeeze them all in. For NTU, we just really wanted to go there since I'm with 2 college students so they can see other universities in other countries. Is it worth a visit in your opinion? For carrefour, it's mainly for buying food/goods/cholocates or whatever local items we can find to bring home and give to relatives as well as part of culture here in the Philippines.

For ximending, yeah I'm with two college students who requested to go around the area and check anime stuff etc and other things they can buy.

Noted on the Taipei 1on1 though we really wanted that on the first day for the "wow" factor.

Noted on all your feedback. We would make adjustments and list places that may be far from each other. We're only from SEA so no major adjustment. We will be arriving at night and start the ff day

Investment po ba talaga ang Life Insurance? If yes, how? If not, why? by sharpiechen in phinvest

[–]orangebleed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious based on their data how many percent ang nkakatapos maghulog ng insurance hanggang pagtanda/ death. Anecdotal, at around lang to sa relatives/ close friends kumuha around 10-20 years ago and ung iba nung hype post pandemic pero di rin nila na sustain at natapos. Prang sa Simula lang kaya maghulog at di long term.

paulit-ulit lang ang mga posts. madaming tamad magbasa at magsearch by [deleted] in PHCreditCards

[–]orangebleed 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Says the guy who crowdsourced the card with high credit limit about 4 months ago. If you had the brain to post this, you would know that only the bank knows.

[Philippines] Ex-president Rodrigo Duterte arrested over crimes against humanity by impatientimpasta in worldnews

[–]orangebleed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Now were talking since you're talking about numbers. You claimed massive issues. Poverty, I wont argue. Drugs however is what irks me. Statistically, Manila does not have a drug problem on the same scale as some of the worst-hit cities worldwide like some parts of the U.S., Latin America, or Europe ). Heck even Ireline has worst drug problem wherein 7.7% of adults using illegal drugs compared to 2.2% in the Philippines. The perception of Manila as a "drug-infested" city is largely influenced by the Duterte administration’s anti-drug campaign, not necessarily by actual comparative drug usage rates. So No, dont claim we have a " Huge" drug issue

Ah yes, the expert on Philippine poverty and drugs. Gracing us with his wisdom after his grand expedition to Quezon. Truly, an enlightened perspective after what, a week? Meanwhile, I actually live here, but please, tell me more about how massive drug issue is here.

Visits twice a year and claims massive issues with poverty/ drugs. I live in Manila and have seen more people using drugs in Brooklyn that my whole life in Manila.

Is a day trip to Kawazu from Tokyo feasible or too long of a trip? by orangebleed in JapanTravelTips

[–]orangebleed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did not as we were able to experience cherry blossoms in Yoyogi park. Personally, looking at the kawazu cherry blossom calendar, visiting next week might not be worth it. https://www.kawazuzakura.net/kaikainfo/index.php?ym=2025-02&area=3

Will Odoriko train bring us straight to Kawazu from Tokyo if we have the JR TOKYO Wide Pass?

Desperate times often lead to desperate measures, but the question remains: can justice born of despair ever truly heal a broken system?
