chessboxin Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Actually if you are a frequent traveler, you will realize how overpriced the Philippines is. The only Asian countries more expensive than the Philippines are probably Singapore and Korea. Hotels and food in Japan are probably just at par with the prices here. If you're a solo traveler, going abroad can be as cheap as a trip to Palawan or Boracay. You can adjust your accommodation, shopping and food according to your liking. Remember that the only real fixed expenses are the airfare, the hotel and the transportation. For example I only spent 100K on my Hong Kong trip and that already includes a lot of visits to massage parlors. But if you're with your family, ibang usapan na. Everything is X4 and hindi maiiwasan ang shopping which I think makes travel expensive. Quote Link to comment

Hindi talaga ganun kasaya pag business trip kasi naka work-mode utak mo. I love travelling but when it's already a work-trip kahit sa Japan pa yan I can't wait to get home asap. Quote Link to comment

chessboxin Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Actually it does not pay to delay travelling because prices constantly increase. I didn't regret going to the US several years ago because back then the US was cheap. Airfare was just $700, hotels were just around $120 and you can easily eat out with $20. Now expect your airfare to be $1400, hotels are $250-300 and $20 will just get you something at a food truck. Japan is probably the only exception. For those already conscious during the 90's, you'd know how expensive it is back then. Late 90's, ramen was already 250 pesos. A subway ride was also 200 a pop. It was a status symbol as only rich people and japayukis were able to go to Japan. Kaya swerte mga tao these days. Quote Link to comment
gentl Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 That is true, do not delay traveling if you can afford, also because we are not sure kung ano pa hinihintay natin at kung nandito pa tayo bukas 😅 Quote Link to comment
