Makati is the financial district of the Philippines. That means the best high speed net connections in the country are going to be available in that area.
You'll easily be able to connect to nfl.com's subscription service for games. Getting live games might be a bit more of a pain in the ass outside of the hotels. Again, it's freaking Makati, so you should be able to get Sunday ticket on your cable package in your housing. I'm guessing they'll put you up in a condo in a Makati high rise rather than in a stand alone house. |

I lived in Austria pre internet. My mom taped the games on VHS and shipped them to me. My VCR cost $1000 cause it played both American and European systems. What we do as fans man...

What kind of properties does your friend own in Philly?
Commercial or Residential? Is he one of those huge investors putting in huge 130 unit condos. Real Estate is booming in the up and coming areas right now (albeit still some of the biggest drug ridden places in the country) I was always curious where they came from. New buildings popping up every week. Last edited by mcaj22; 06-09-2018 at 01:14 PM.. |

Residential buy and rent of low income properties. I'm not a fan. There are better opportunities for all these guys that have pooled money together. I may be in Philly soon to take a look. I know it's a real hot market but not sure where it is on the beginning-middle-end stage of things. I heard Bill Ackman of Pershing just made a homerun in Philly and he's using it to rebuy more Pershing shares. I have a long-time connection to Brandywine Realty Trust

I've watched so many Chiefs games for free on my computer it's not funny. I also watch movies for free via international streams.

Enjoyed the very contrasting posts to my limited knowledge.
I know a couple "brides" from there. Not sure exact locations, but they both describe third world day to day activities and severe poverty and corruption. They've mentioned the sinking ferry thing as well. Very good people. |

I work with an engineer that spent the past two years getting our aerospace manufacturing up to speed in the Philippines. He took his family with him (wife, two sons). They lived a good life on cheap dollars. He was a hero to them. He's back now, with a hot Philippine as his new girlfriend.

It's less expensive in the Philippines according to this unverified website: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-livin...y2=Philippines
If you go, would you ship me some Pepsi?

My brother has vacationed there many times. He always tells me if you want to bring home a wife that will give you a massage every night, do your laundry daily, clean your house, cook all your meals, plant and take care of a garden and wake you up with a blow job every morning this is where they will be found.

My friend was disappointed when his whooore in Panama didn't want to hang out for the weekend. I guess the Philippines spoiled him.

Ironically Numbeo is quoted in my PPT presentation I've done for my guys.

I was in Moalboal in the Visayas in February for a week. I flew into Cebu City from Hong Kong. I loved it. Lots of cool old buildings leftover from the Spanish-American war. If you want to scuba dive and see some things from World War II it’s a great spot. Some of the friendliest and kindest people I’ve ever met in my travels and yeah the women love Americans. It can get pretty dangerous and Dutertes a piece of shit but it’s still a great country to visit. You can see why so many people visit and never want to come back.
