Andy, love the site. Came across it looking for a cheap ticket Bangkok-Manila...which I didnt find. Found many near bloody impossible websites. The few I did find had horrendous ticket prices. (Your Travelconnecxion.com link doesnt work either! Any suggestions re tickets?)
Have just come back from Philippines (dental work essentially - the cheapest crown work in Asia) and found myself smiling at your observations - most of with which I concur! The Friendly Hostel was pretty grim...lots of wrong info on the phone and virtually nothing at the Hotel worked...and no lift to the airport as promised! BUT there were a couple of great travellers there and that made it worthwhile. There is a Hotel called the Nicholls just down the road and round the corner into the main drag that is supposedly good...according to a traveller we were with. He didnt explain how he knew. A bit further down opposite is a club (mostly locals) that had a really hot band and quite a few very pretty Filapina girls (arnt they all!) The best deal in the Philippines here...100 peso entry...and 3 free beers! Never got to bed till real late and up at 5am for the plane... and I'm not a party animal I swear!
I went to a very interesting small city in Ilocos Norte called Vigan. Lots of real nice old Spanish architecture. I stayed in a great Hotel called the Villa Angela. p700 including a great b/fast. The place is beautifully fitted out with lots of history and antiques ...and immaculately clean. Tony and Mariechris who run the place are great. Helpful and hospitable.
Would you believe Tom Cruise stayed in 1987..and you too can stay in his room for p1400!
Crisologo Street at night with it's beautiful architecture is quite beautiful, worth the visit to Vigan on its own. See it at night in the rain. After 8pm you're hard pressed to see anyone in it; unusual for anywhere with a population in the Philippines.
Anyway, the Philippines and it's friendly people has gotten under my skin and I will be back. Frankly I dont care if the backpackers NEVER find it!

Our website www.travelconnecxion.com works just fine!
Maybe the problem is with the ISP or you might be in an internet cafe and the connection droped and the people need to restart their router to restablish the network!
I do not understand why they cannot configure their routers the right way! A router need to reestablish the connection automatically without a need for restart!
Last time when I was in Krabi I had to reconfigure their router because it was all !bats!
They set up one computer with the ipthat was assigned by the isp and they expect the router to route the rest of the computers!!!!
What a joke only one wirked!
So I set up the router with the ip assigned by as to manual ip 192.168.0.1 subnet mask 255.255....
And the dns was assigned by the ISP automatically!
Then the rest of the computer picked up their on assigned ip's on the subnet mask!
192.168.0.2
192.168.0.3
etc!
Oh, let's not forget the reason earthquake in Taiwan - broken under water cable to USA!
Now South East Asia uses CAT setelite dished to route the trafic to the approprite seteliate receivers!
So one side maybe up and another down depended through wich setelaite receiver the domains are routed to SEA!!!
So please be patient, even the great Google God was down 24 hours!
So the guy who posted the nasty thing about www.travelconnecxion.com not working is a bit fulish!
I hope he goes to an ATM machine in Phnome Phen and after he inserts his card the setiliate drops out the sky in a swarming ball of fire landing on the setteliate receiver and creating a magnetic electrical storm!
The ATM machine starts blinking red and green, and his card gets chewed up dispensing itself in shreaded pieces!
With no money in his pockets he will have to resign to the Riveara for begging! I hope the Corespondents Club shows him a bit of mercy and throw him out on his back, after he crashes all drown up from lack of food!
So what will be the last alternative? His embassy? No, No!
They do not care about vegarants!
You know like the OffSprings song says!
Get a Job!
How about K11? Shure he can work there!
Oh my, I am getting carried a way!!!
The poor guy was just quick to judgement! :)
A bit off topic, but this is SEA!
And I am in Bangkok, so I guess I have arrived!
Moderater, please feel free to moderate and edit as you please!
But please no sensership or I will complain to Hillary!
That's allllll falks!
