  1. Wasn't Geylang already cleaned up? I didn't get the chance to pass by the area during my stay there.

     

    They cleaned up the streets. Transactions can only be done inside establishments now as far as I know.

     

    Where in Geylang do you find the roasted leg of lamb?

    Lorong 11. Liu Da Ma is the name of the place. Legit Mongolian / Northern Chinese cuisine.

  2. For business trips, I'd recommend staying in Quest Hotel or Parklane Hotel. Both are very accessible and both have a great spread for their breakfast buffet. Almost at par with a 5-star even if you only have a set budget for a 3-star accommodation.

  3. In order of price, convenience, and preference: Fragrance Hotels, Furama Hotels, Marina Bay Sands. :)

     

    Aside from the usual places to eat like Makan Sutra, you can go check out Geylang District and find awesome places to have Bak Kut Teh (which is comparable to Bulalo but is more flavorful) or fire roasted leg of lamb.

     

    It's also a red light district so you get to hit two birds with one stone if you explore the area.

  4. Hotel Salcedo de Vigan or Fort Ilocandia. But my personal preference is Hotel Salcedo de Vigan which is known to serve some wicked Vigan longganisa and is just right smack in the vicinity of Calle Crisologo. For the price, you'd be surprised with how great this place is.

  5. Work. It's easier to express your love for someone when you have a house, a car, and a bank account that can support her needs and occassional whims. It's only practical. I think women dig financially stable guys because having money is bad ass. And we all know majority of women dig bad boys.

  6. If ever you own any DMCI property, you can wait for promos from Alta Vista de Boracay regarding discounted rates which I think is an annual thing. They often go as low as 2500 PHP a night (which is really a steal compared to their regular rates). Location is at Station 1. I could say that the place, service, and even food is comparable to that of Shang's if not better. It does not have it's own beach though. But they have regular trips to Station 2 and Puka beach (where they have their own spot for their visitors). But their pool is top notch with a great view of the island. If you're at Boracay to relax more than to party, then this is highly recommended.

  7. pang student lang ba pwede dito?

    Nope. Anyboday can check-in here. Just make sure you look decent. Haha.

     

    How strict are they?

    Not strict. I checked-in here thrice before with my GF and no hassle experienced naman whatsoever. Again, just look decent. Not drunk. Or high. Haha

  8. Stayed in Grand Le Daiba hotel in Odaiba a few years back for a business trip. Odaiba is much like a tech island that's connected to mainland Tokyo (think Toyota Museum). It's quite expensive there so I'd recommend browsing through offerings at Airbnb. There are a lot of awesome inexpensive places you can book from there.

     

    As for places to visit, Akihabara is one of my favorites since I like bright lights, modern and urban feels. There are a lot of places you can go to there (like the SEGA buildings which is literally a gamer's paradise) and a number of french maid cafes if you're into that kind of stuff.

     

    I was also lucky enough to be approached by two Japanese girls in cosplay costumes there who accompanied me one evening out. It's legit and it did not include any hanky panky. You pay them to kind of tour you around the area. It's a plus that you get to have photos together with them so you don't look lost and all alone on your trip. Haha.

     

    Anyway, bring lots of cash or learn how to eat cheap. Tokyo is one of the places which have the highest cost of living. If money is no object then there's countless stuff you can go to and experience while you're there.

  9. Had one before. Didn't work out the way I wanted it. We were together for over a year. She resigned and had another job. And had another boyfriend. But that was about 8 years ago. She's married. And I'm just living the dream. Hahaha
