I'm usually experiencing the slowdown in the early evening. If it continues I may switch to Bayantel or PLDT.

There's actually quite a big group of pinoy SC players. There's a whole thread full of them on the battle.net forums.

How is everyone's lag on SC2?

I'm playing on sky cable broadband and it's very inconsistent.

Anyone have a very solid connection from another ISP?

I was lucky enough to drive on the autobahn. A really nice road makes a big difference, although the NLEX is pretty nice.

Another tip: If you're wanting to shop, the cheapest country will be Czech. So if you find something nice there, buy it! :boo: Everywhere else is more expensive 

Yes, I agree. Gusto ko lang i-try. Saka mas mura siya kasi parang sa tabi tabi lang na food stall e. Basta Indian food! That's where I learned to eat and love (North) Indian food. Ironically, it was a white guy who introduced me to the joys of eating Indian food! Now when I'm in Singapore, I make it a point to eat Indian at least once! Kahit magisa ako! (My friends and family think I'm crazy )

 

Actually, if you think about it, the UK isn't really a part of Europe. Ayaw nga nila ng Euro diba? Hahahaha! Palagi sila hiwalay. Ah basta I love England

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

While they don't use the euro, the UK is still part of the EU. They're just suwapang about their currency because it's so strong at the moment. Give it a year and the Czech republic will be using euros too, they've been approved to join the EU.

While generally speaking London is crap to shop in due to prices, go over to Camden market. It's like a western ukay-ukay if you're patient and thorough you can find cheap stuff.

Short addendum:

 

If you're going to eat fish and chips consider it a cultural experience rather than a cultural one. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Oops cultural rather than culinary.

Short addendum:

If you're going to eat fish and chips consider it a cultural experience rather than a cultural one. There's really nothing special about it and if you want good cheap food there are thousands of gems in London. I can list some if you want me to.

If you earn in pesos europe on a budget is still fooking expensive.

Check out the youth tours like kontiki etc. They can get you the most bang for the buck generally. Quick stops to the most frequent places at western youth prices. It's still expensive but an easy way to see many countries and their most frequented places.

If you scrimp in London that's at least 10-15 pounds a day 1,000-1,500 pesoses. If you scrimp in Berlin you're looking to spend 3/4 that money daily. This is without accomodations. Throw in a show that's halfprice and that's like another L20, 2,000 pesoses.

Here's a quick day breakdown of how much London's going to cost you, generally the other most developed Euro countries will cost you 3/4 this. On absolute scrimping.

1 Day Bus Pass - 3.00

Breakfast - 2.75 (pret a manger sandwich)

Lunch - 6.50 (china town value meal)

Dinner - 6.50 (indian econo meal)

Museums - Free (perhaps the only good thing about London)

Show - 12.50 (at halfprice)

Grand total without night gimmick where cocktails are ridiculously priced at L3.

L31.25 = P3125

You can scrimp a lot more but you lose a lot of what London has. The other euro country I'm familiar with is Berlin and they charge for museum entrance. The best part about Germany is actually the countryside and that's also a lot of money to add on your tour.

As you may have noticed I'm not a huge fan of scrimping in Europe. My logic is basically that my opportunity to visit the west is limited. Rather than force myself towards the budget areas accesible to me I'd rather be able to splurge that one time to have access to all the things a particular country has to offer. Sadly, some of the best things about first world countries do cost money. With this being said, I'd suggest you reduce your travel time to two weeks, reduce the countries your visiting to 2 or 3 and thereby granting yourself twice the money to spend in these countries.

August is the start of fall. It can get cold but you won't be needing thermals or even a thick jacket unless you're malamigin or are visiting a high altitude country.

Ditch Geneva, boring! Or just forget europe and bring me to Boracay.

Rock on!

The burger machine sandwich is ok, but why go jumbo longa when you can go jumpo spicy with cheese!

Shouldn't jumbo burgers have jumbo cheese?

I love longga/chori burgers from Boracay. I have no idea why Bun on The Run closed down and why nobody else in manila sells choriburgers. They are yummy.

One time I went to a bbq stand in Boracay and they were all out of choriburgers. I almost cried, but instead went to watch the sabong. After the sabong, there were choriburgers again. I was about to cry again out of pure joy, until I started thinking if it was mere coincidence that there were choriburgers after a sabong.

Are you using the same version of explorer that you're using in windows xp?

Do you have netscape? Curious if it's happening on just explorer or if it's really your OS.

If it's really your explorer have you tried downloading service pack 1 and the IE critical updates?

The zodiac is based on a circle of 360 degrees, with each house (zodiac sign) ruling an equal portion. For each sign they get 3 decanates of 10 days each. Each decanate is still ruled by the sign but supposedly each one has a particular characteristic personality trait.

Because of the inaccuracy of the zodiac calendar to the calendar year, the first five and last five days of any Zodiac sign is considered a cusp. Astronomically speaking this is the period where the sun moves from one house to another, and since the Zodiac calendar is inaccurate it's impossible to tell without a solar chart what house the sun was currently occupying on those particular days. Astronomically speaking cusps are supposed to carry traits of both signs. The dominant house (the house that the sun was actually in when they were born) will show traits of the house that the sun was moving towards or away from.

To get back on topic Happy Birthday all cancerians.

A little bit of trivia: The part of the body that Cancer rules is the breast/chest and as such tends to be your most errogenous zone.
