Dutch insurance covers a lot overseas.

Have fun, should be a great trip.


Yep CZ does cover most of it, but just to be safe i will get the extra one.

Why the Philippines tho?

Wouldn't be my first vacation destination, partially since I don't see the attraction and well it's not the easiest destination for a first timer, especially when avoiding the more common places. Smile

That being said: be humble! No one likes a brazen foreigner Very Happy


Haha yes i know i'm crazy, but i have my reasons, i will tell them after i have been there haha Razz

Yeah not really scared of that, i'm like 1/3th bigger in size than most guys there, plus the area where i'm going, they are too poor to buy guns, so only knifes will be used, so not a problem Laughing

Ehhhh dont be overconfident sausje..... Avoid at all costs lonely roads, secluded passageways and dont go around waving expensive stuff. You may be big but ive seen big 6 foot 18 inches wide arms guys being stabbed to swish cheese by kids for a cellphone.

And dont asume they cant get guns, whoever steals will steal to buy a gun and they will roam tourist areas. a illegal gun can go pretty PRETTY cheap may i say, us300 can get you a gun here and thats attained by stealing a cellphone once.

It just takes 30 seconds to clean you up if they have a gun and a bike, even in a main street with people.

Dont know about phillipines but crime isnt as simple as it sounds.

While change has been slow, there has always been a change. And I'm willing to bet it's from the various support here and there.

While I believe you shouldn't hold back all the time, cutting support will achieve nothing nor does being harsh all the time.

@Ankh @Lopin18

Yeah ok, i might be thinking too simple, but honestly, i really wouldn't care if something would happen to me there. As it stands now, i have nothing to lose Smile
But only Manila is a zone where i need to be careful, but i'm avoiding the tourist area and going to the more sophisticated zones (Ortigas Center), and Iligan where i'll stay for most of the time is quite safe too. Only need to keep eye out for the Muslim terrorists there, since they are relatively close and have kidnapped foreigners (but also Filipino's) over the years (tho not as active anymore in the last 2-3 years).
So i'm going to be extra careful anyway already.

@Lathieza

Haha no no, not that Razz

iirc it's not by choice and is for medical reasons. What is the problem with that, if that is the case? Do you expect people who don't work because of a medical condition to not leave their house and live in misery 24/7?

No thank you, I'd rather live in a welfare state, pay higher taxes and be able to walk around town safely.

Have a nice and safe trip sausje Smile

hey there calm the fuck down... what medical condition are we talking about here that he can't work AT ALL? did a panel of medical experts found him completely unemployable? if so i'm sorry but judging from his other posts over the years he isn't fully unemployable, correct me if i'm wrong...

he can game and sit in front of PC all day, can travel etc but can't work? i never heard of medical condition where person can do these things but can't work at all. in my country person like this is considered a total freeloader/slacker. once again, sorry if i offend anyone i guess i'm not as PC as you guys.

Actually, defending someone based on what he has said himself is also quite pointless unless you know for a fact that what he has said is true.

BUT no matter what we have no right to discuss his private life (even if he should start it himself, none of us know him well enough to actually be able to believe him or help him in anyway).

I don't think that he has to defend his lifestyle at all and yes, he mentioned several times that he wants to work, but because of his medical condition, the state won't let him.
