the best place for me was las vegas. stayed at luxor, ung pyramid. wow talaga.. and every hotel offers something extra ordinary kaya nakakaaliw talaga dun.

 

slot machines everywhere. coins here and there. yuko ka lang may mapupulot ka na quarters or dollars. i even won $300 playing the slot machine, and to think $3 lang money ko that time.

 

sarap talaga dun. :rolleyes:

Philippines- Palawan and Cebu!

 

Germany - Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Nice bunch of people. I just can't stand the weather sometimes.

 

USA - My hometown Jacksonville!!! syempre saan ka pa :boo: Home of the Jaguars :cool: OK din sa Las Vegas... like HHH would say...what goes in Vegas stays in Vegas hehehe If you wanna migrate to the states...This is a good option coz' they'll always have a job 4u out there. San Francisco is a great place...great weather....large filipino community but grabe sa taas ng cost of living...a very small apartment here cost you roughly around $2.5k a month....f**k! New York and Chicago...Two of the most incomparable places in the world like one poster would put it. People here are very straightforward but in a good way at least 4 me...wala nang paligoy-ligoy pa. Washington medyo boring ng konti pero tolerable basta matiyaga ka. California syempre ok dyan... I used to go in Vallejo, Sacramento, San Diego and Anaheim to visit mah relatives... Florida...my state of course! :cool: ...the girls man! the girls :cool: atsaka ang climate dito halos walang pinagkaiba sa Pilipinas...minsan pa nga mas mainit pa duon kaysa dito... New Orleans ok din!

 

sa Asia naman, Hongkong Singapore at Thailand.

 

sa Pacific, I've been to Papua New Guinea (Medyo magulo dito dahil sa tribal wars), Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Fiji (great place to retire hahaha) at Tokelau....

 

sa Europe other the Germany, London of course, Wales England, Switzerland Sweden...and the granddaddy of them all....the place I wanna stay as often as I can...well at least as far as my budget can get me...AUSTRIA...I am totally head over heels sa lugar na toh. :cool:

 

Sa Australia naman, sa Melbourne, Sydney Brisbane at Adelaide...mostly business trips.
