Thanks tips...way to get the key point of my post.

I'm not sure if you're already there yet, but hopefully I can help. If you're flying in internationally, you will most likely land at BKK airport. To fly down to the south, you will likely need to transfer to Don Mueang airport as they have most of the domestic flights. It's not that far...

Don't even get me started on the pink sh!t........pink sports jerseys in particular :mad::mad::mad:

Of all the recreational activities I take part in, I find scuba divers are by far the most opinionated when it comes to equipment. :rolleyes:

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL dumbest comment I have EVER read on the internet. I'm talking about the last part of it in particular.

Are you insane!?!?!?!?!?! You left behind two huskies? God, I would do anything to have a husky. Kudos on the rest of it though, I am supremely jealous.

I was in El Nido roughly 2 months ago. I absolutely loved it and had considered diving there too, but everyone on Scubaboard and in the town talked me out of it. They said it wasn't all that great. I did some snorkeling on some of the nearby islands and it wasn't bad...until I got stung by a...

It would be interesting to see whether ANYONE under the age of 50 does this... On a separate note, I would be one of the people who would walk out of a super "techy" dive shop, probably because I can't stand pushy sales people and I don't want to be convinced to buy something unless I...

You're 100% right. As more people move towards shopping online, more stores (in any industry) are becoming A) support centers, and B) demo facilities for products. Even companies like Nike have been adapting, by offering smaller, well-designed shops that are basically just a place to touch...

My advice...go to Moalboal for a few days, then go to Oslob for the whale shark dive on your way to the south tip of Cebu Island. You can then take the short ferry across almost directly to Dumaguete. The whale shark dive is quite touristy and busy, but it's 100% worth it in my opinion. I had...

No, you would need to take steroids too. But, in all seriousness, it is completely different than the diving experience - at least in my case. When I learned to bike, I was probably 5. I started with training wheels, then moved to my Dad holding on to the back of my seat. Gradually he...

I've done some research into this for school. The major reasons are that people prefer specialized stores or the ever-increasing online market. It's odd that Sportcheck (comparable to Dick's) in Canada has managed to even expand. But, I for one would rather go to Nike for running shoes, Golf...

Ditto what Hank49 said. It's subjective, but I definitely would choose SE Asia. It's so damn cheap and the people are so nice. When I was in Thailand the first time, I was 24 and I almost bought a damn house. It was about $120,000 on Koh Tao, 2 minutes from the beach and just high enough on...

Sorry to scare you off! But honestly, if it were me going back, I wouldn't book any domestic flights without at least a 6 hour layover. It wasn't worth the stress.

My two cents is give yourself as much time as possible to make any connection plane that is either coming or go to Manila. The airport is such a mess, the domestic flights get delayed ALL the time. Like out of the 5 times I flew within Philippines there were always at least 2 flights -...

Yes, cause that's worked so well to curb the crime rate in the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really, because the US goes everywhere else with their guns as well...

Kinda off topic, but this is why the rest of the world thinks the US is F*&K#$.

Well said.

Honestly, great assessment. I couldn't agree more with most of what you said especially of the islands. I loved Chiang Mai too, it was the first place I went when I got there and I DIED in the heat. I don't think I was quite used to it yet and I remember panicking in the streets, taking off...
