Andy says Chuck, Melody is 25 years old...........
Sorry not my type. I prefer the ladies that shop at Glorietta Mall. Mall Link gt http://tinyurl.com/mq7rq5
Im surprised there wasnt a printing shop right around Robinsons. Harrison is way past its prime but does have a relatively clean and decent supermarket with good prices and bookstore with stationary supplies. Maybe that was the place the book store that was down for inventory ? I think they take orders for business cards there.
Now I got to get back to the Phils. I miss Jollibees spaghetti (sweet sugary tomato sauce with pieces of hot dog) and the better than McDonalds burgers gt http://www.jollibee.com.ph/index.php?/menu
Not to mention world famous L.A. Cafe gt http://www.ermita.com/LA20cafe/palugaw.html

Hi Andy,
How about adding a dating section to your website to help put the Melodys and Franks of the world in touch with each other?
Best,
Frank

Hello Frank,
We are evolving towards having this capacity, if you look at the private message links you will see you can create a profile. This area can than eventually move or allow people of related desires to meet.
This private message allows you to write other people comment.
Both parties need to be registered and logged in to read the messages.

Andy: please let the readers know which country you consider to be the best to retire to for a person who wanted to live on Social Security say around $2000 a month. I know a lot depends on the individual and their needs however it would be helpful to get your opinion on the subject. I believe most of the readers subscribe to your philosophy of being on the frugal side and looking for good value in what they purchase. Also of course safety would be a prime importance as well most people when they retire do not want to live in a barb wired community. Thanks.Walt

A dating site? You gonna turn HoboTraveler into just another monger website? There are plenty of those on the web already. Count me out.
- Andy HoboTraveler.com said on Monday July 13th, 2009 06:31:20 AM
Hoz, I said - Having the Capacity.
What is a Monger? What is Cubao? I do pay attention to all this.
I do not think you get on Facebook or Twitter, and I do not know much about them, however these - social networks - are in my opinion more about being dating sites and less about other...
There are many factions to readers, as there are 1000s of reasons to travel, a great web site has the capacity to give a corner to every type of reader. This is all I am saying, there is a corner for everyone.
People do not change, I have been doing this for 11 years, hard to see how I am going to change.
Thanks
Andy
The new word of the day Monger

Places to Retire, well Walt that is truly a difficult question.
My choices or options:
Panajachel Guatemala 1500 Meters above Sea Level, same time zone as the USA and easy flight.
Iquitos Peru
Baguio Philippines 1500 Meters above Sea Level
Brazil Rio de Janiero
Lome, Togo West Africa
I personally am planning to retire in 4-5 places, more or less I will move to a location, get an apartment and live for three months. I will not buy unless I lived in a location already for 3 years.
Talking and having friends is the problem with retiring overseas, if you have a wife, then not a big problem, however single than you have an endless series of one night stand conversations, the majority of friends you never see again.

Monger is short for whoremonger Sex Tourists use them to try and hook up with native girls. I expect more from HoboTraveler.
- Andy HoboTraveler.com said on Monday July 13th, 2009 04:26:54 PM
Men want to meet women.
Women want to meet men.
People want to make money.
Hoz, I appreciate you expect more from HoboTraveler.com.
The world has a desire to be rich and famous, whereby in their dysfunctional world they believe they will find the love of their life who gives them intimacy.
People want a short cut to success, they want to know the secret.
I meet nice people, I strive to meet the nice people of the world, sometimes it take a crazy amount of work to find the good. I want to do my best, to be the best man possible, to be the best possible example to the world and myself. I somehow break this down daily into sentences, I explain my walk towards a better world. I do not give up, I will never give up.
Frank Wants a dating site, I assume that Frank is saying,
- Can you introduce me to nice girl? -
I assume it they stay on this site reading, they must be a nice girl, I am too strict, I expect too much of people for the slackers to remain.
The Philippines has something special in it, there is a smile on the faces, their is a natural happiness to the people of the Philippines. However, it is easy to become very frustrated with the people of the Philippines. I must overlook 80 percent of the personality of the country to see the 20 percent.
I was looking at the 20 percent of Frank, I have never been married, however I do believe finding a mate is a great thing, it is the essence of my parents. If I could help somebody to find a mate and have a relationship like my parents, I would do so, it is good thing.
The USA has become weak, the good people are in hiding, they refuse to take a stand and do good. They believe not being involved is a good act, this is weakness. I on the understand believe if I am good person I should try to outshine the bad people of the world.
Why do I show the bad? Good people need to tell other good people where the bad is so they can avoid it. I truly enjoy Robinsons mall, a nice clean place on the planet surrounded by crap.
I met Melody, she appears to be a truly nice girl, therefore when someone said they wanted to meet a girl like her, this makes total sense to me. I do hope people can understand the underlying theme, social class, and social status is fools gold.
Hoz, the sites of HoboTraveler.com and HoboHIdeOut.com will always strive to explain the world honestly, without any avoidance or hiding of reality.

Thats what I love about your site Andy, its real. No sugar coating. I almost feel like Ive been where you have been.
If anything, your observations are too critical. In the case of Thailand I have been there and I felt the Thai people were extremely accomodating and friendly. Since you say the Phillipines is more friendly, I want to go there too!
- Andy HoboTraveler.com said on Monday July 13th, 2009 06:03:44 PM
Alex, think about what you said, you do not want the sugar coating.
.... unless the opinion or observation is different than yours....
I want you to disagreee, however do I do not wish to be encouraged in a round robin way to be Politically correct, try to find the clarity.
I agree 100 percent, Thailand people are accommodating and very friendly, like a great servant. They are some of the best yes people on the planet. However, to have a truly loving, caring, intimate relationship with them is difficult.
I had a girl ask me my email address yesterday here in Manila, I hardly know her and she is already wanting to be long-term friend.
Culture is dynamic, why were the Japanese so cruel during World War II?
Why are the Germans the champions of cruelty?
It is about superiority, when one person thinks they are superior to another they have the right to do as they wish. Thailand just give you what you want, a Pygmalion methodology, a self-prophesying expectation.
They are good servants, however despise their masters, too much fun.
On the other hand, the men who go to Thailand are some of the worst trash this planet has ever created, as are the men in the Philippines.
There is value to disagreement, there is value to accommodation, a vacation is for accommodation, however living in a country is when you want a true friend.
I have a true friend in Thailand who is a Thai girl, and I have been there many times, a cheap haven in the middle of chaos, however she is the only Thailand friend I have, this is sad.
People study countries, then go find what they expect to find.

Hi Andy,
I certainly dont want your great website to turn into a dating website as I appreciate your creation as it is. However, whats wrong with having an unobtrusive link to a section where people with similar interests can get to know each other? Yes, you are right - I want a nice girl only.
Best,
Frank

Frank, I understand and agree, there is always ways to allow people to meet.

Hi Andy,
How about adding a dating section to your website to help put the Melodys and Franks of the world in touch with each other?
......
Here is a good place to start Frank and others http://www.jaderune.com/ it is TOTALLY FREE truly in the HOBO spirit website way meet single filipinas.
A Not for Profit site. The original website owner was so happy meeting a woman from the Philippines he and his wife decided to share their good fortune and help others meet FOR FREE. Find a Woman you find interesting and ask for her email or Home address thats IT ! They post the ladies info for Free also !
NOT A MAIL ORDER BRIDE SERVICE
They make a little money from Google just like Andy does. But all the profits go to an small Orphanage they support. http://www.uswaginc.org/index.php
So a couple of $$ donation via Paypal would be nice if you ask for a address or two but it is not required.
This site has the Chuck W0W seal of approval.
http://www.jaderune.com/
Now if only Aya would post her info ???? hit hint nudge nudge
- hoz said on Tuesday July 14th, 2009 04:56:48 AM
Beware internet dating sites. I know nothing about Jaderune but there are many reports of Filipina scammers taking advantage of lonely foreign men by getting to know them and then suddenly a family emergency comes up and she hints she could use some help. The next thing the guy knows he has sent hundreds if not thousands of dollars to his Honeyko. She will keep him stringing along as long as possible. Until he eventually wises up.
If your intentions are honorable, It is best to GO TO THE PHILIPPINES AND MEET A GIRL IN PERSON. Beautiful Filipinas are everywhere, on the jeepney, in stores, going to chruch. They are open and friendly but its a different culture. MEET HER FAMILY, this is essential. Family is most important to Filipinos and If a Filipina will not introduce you to her parents, brothers or sisters (and in most cases lolo, lola, titos and titas) she is hiding something.
