quote: Originally posted by Lancer Theben, sent you a PM. Zkribbler, special request from Dolores. We are maxed out on our bags and she would like you to buy and bring some soap she can give as gifts. We will pay you back as soon as we see you. The people there love American soap. Do you have a Costco membership, or something like that? If so, they sell big multi packs with 10 or so bars each. She asks that you bring 2 multipacks of Olay soap and 2 of ivory soap please.

No Costco membership, but Albertson's has a bulk item aisle. I'm planning on shopping there Sunday & will see what I can do. 2 10-packs of Olay & 2 10-packs of Ivory.

I'm...uh...not going to get busted for smuggling soap, am I?

Soap smuggling is a dirty business but if they catch you it's easy to clean up your act.

"So you want soap or snickers bars?"

Snicker's bars Dolores says, "5 multipacks" whatever that is. We will pay you back when we see you. Dolores says "mix them up, Payday is pretty good too, one box." "Or candies, lollipops." "Does he have Costco card?"

She wants the best price. Feeling pressure?



Anyway Theben, thanks. Just get some stuff. Say, ...$20

So, you meeting us in SF or Hong Kong? What's your seat #? Where you from again?

in a country like that, I don't suspect there will be a lot of stray dogs

I know places like romania has a problem with stray dogs- and some of them have rabies.

Diss, though Koreans eat dogs it is very rare in the Phils. Definately looked down on. There are stray dogs around, but sad skinny little things on the edge of starvation.

Maybe rabies is a good one to get. Don't want to put people off what might be a good idea.

If you're joining us you might want to print this page.

In case one of our planes is late going into Hong Kong...

Talk to the airlines and get another flight into Cebu.

In Cebu you might have to go through customs. If the guys at customs start going through you bags give them $5. This is the way of things. If you don't they might confiscate something. If I'm there I'll take care of it for all of us.

Before you exit the airport you should change about $100 at one of the little banks. They post their rates. For this you should get aprox 5400P. It's 55 P/to the USD but they don't give this. Get a few hundred in small bills. 50s 20s and 10s. Alot of 10s if you want to help the poor that you will meet. A 10P is not even 20 cents so no big deal and they will be very grateful.

When you exit the Cebu airport you will need to grab a taxi to the docks. Once you pass the security guys a bunch of free-lance porters in regular street clothes will ask if you want a taxi and offer to carry your bags. The majority will take you to a taxi and accept a tip. They get something from the taxi driver too. There might be some rip off artists among them but I've never had anything stolen. If you use one give him 50P. We don't recall what the taxi to the docks costs, but ask the driver first and you should get a fair price. On the ride ask which dock the Supercat to Tagbilan leaves from and go there. Confirm at the Supercat desk that you're buying tickets to Tagbilaran. This will cost you around 1000P, or almost $20. Once in Tag, grab a tricycle to the bus depot. My guess is maybe 150P. They'll drop you in front so just go through to where the buses are and find the Dory Bus to Jagna. (Pronounced Hagna) If you have a seat don't get up and wander around, it will be standing room only by the time you leave. The driver or helper will stow your bags before you board. If it's too full you can always wait for the next one. The trip to Jagna will last about an hour and 20 and cost maybe 30P. If you don't get your change back right away don't sweat it. When they get change they'll give it to you. I've only had to remind the guy once. They'll drop you in Jagna at the market. You're tired so don't forget your bag. Give this guy 10P. There will be tricycles around but they might get occupied before you can retrieve your bag and be ready. They will be back...
When you have him show him a paper with 'Jotojot family' and 'Pondol' written on it. If that guy doesn't know go to the next. Most of them know the house but I once had one from out of town that didn't. This might cost 20P because of your bag. Once at the house, you win!

I've PMed our phone # to most of those traveling with us, make sure you have it. I don't want to post it. Call us from anywhere and we'll either advise you or try to meet you...but if you're just behind us we might not be home yet to get your call, so please print this and bring it.
