Manila
My last overseas business trip - Manila.
Food is good and cheap. Couldn't be better.
Some differences between Philippines and Singapore-
People in the Philippines are warm and friendly (esp when you need help) compared to Singaporeans (cold and unfriendly, well majority are..)
Safety in the Philippines cannot be compared to Singapore. You can't walk on the streets at night or in the day if you look like a foreigner. You'll be robbed with a gun or knife.
Japanese food in the Philippines is really tasty and cheap compared to SG again.
Drivers in Singapore are not as good as Philippines'. Should see the way they drive in jams...1 lane squeeze 2 cars mirror to mirror.
Our currency makes stuff cheaper in the Philippines!
Besides all the comparison, it's time to move on with life and leave behind this job that requires quite alot of flying. Sure it sounds and looks fun, but it is quite taxing and hectic too. At least I collect miles points, got to see some countries and their cities.
Next stage of life: UOL.
My chance at redemption! So called to speak. Get in there and give it MY ALL!
Oh SIM has great food too! Especially the Mega Bites Cafe! Cheap and big servings.
Campus life again. That means...time to hunt for a part time job...!...to supplement my expediture. No more modding car, no more restaurant dinners, no more guitar stuff shopping, no more credit card collections.
Ah, just for 3 years. Gonna make it worth it.
God be my Guide.
