Frankt8242 1 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Last time I was in the PI, ('65) you could only get San Miguel beer....The General MacArthur family owned a monopoly on beer sales that was granted to them in gratitude for his "I shall return" promise being kept during WW2... The good news was: it cost 25 centavos a bottle (@ 6.25 US cents!!), it was fresh, and it was a very well made beverage!! As far as those friggin rotten eggs, I tried one once while totally drunk, and I still remember how totally vile it was!! I'd rather eat buzzard shit !! :giggle: Edited July 13, 2012 by Frankt8242 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

watch_lover 0 Posted July 16, 2012 NIce greenbelt.....also go to Mall of asia, of The Fort. , dont go to divisoria.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetpants 40 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Be sure to buy some pearls over at Greenhills. Just make sure you take a local who can tell the chinese fakes from the real ones (something to to with rubbing them together and inspecting the inbuilt "flaws" under natural light). We were able score some necklace and earring sets for about 80AUD. The equivalent back home at say... Wallace bishop are about 500-700.

James. 4 Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah mate, not planning on going to divisoria, I've heard about it. Mall of Asia today and back to greenbelt 5, again, omega was closed yesterday :( and the missus wants a little sumfin sundown from balenciaga I'm back @ greenhills on Friday, I'll have to read up on the pearl info cause I'm quite hopeless. There's a 127 there I'll pick up too, got then down to 4500 peso last time. There was also a lovely 379 but I already have one! :( I'll take some more extensive photos of the watch markets there, quite interesting stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
