Queenofmuffins, through such jobs you earned money for such trips *x* I envy you. So I have a next question
How much it cost to live in Boracay for a day? Because from what I see, you're similar to me: going on a trip without any agents, right? Just me <maybe friends>, my plan and vuala?

Not as much as you'd think. ^^

It's in the phils, so while it's considered very expensive by filo standards, compared to a western country it's very cheap.

Yeah, I went without any agents. I booked all my tickets about six months in advance during the free seat sale, so everything was really cheap.

About a day there- I did it very budget- about $10 - $15 a day for accom and food. I stayed at the treehouse resort for 300 peso a night, in the dorms, right on the beach. (About $6 or $7 AUD). Most nice hotels on the beach are only 1,000 peso for a double though. (About $20).
Food ranges from cheap filo meals for 50 peso ($1.20) to all-you-can eat buffets for 250 peso (about $5) to the most expensive- lobster and steak for about 300 - 400 peso. Alchahol is usually about 50 peso- and "happy hour" is CONSTANTLY EVERYWHERE, and usually last for about 6 hours.

As for activities, there's tons to do- parasailing, diving, snorkelling, AT motobikes, horse riding, lazing on the beach... most things wouldn't cost you $20. An afternoon diving cost me $35 including equipment and everything. Things like ice-cream can cost as low as 10 peso.

I'd reccomend you fly with Cebu Pacific. They're pretty bad as an airline when it comes to organization, but they can fly you to Boracay for about $30 (if you book in advance).

Recently, in July I was in Italy <mostly Rome travelling> and I was also using cheap airlines to get there - WIZZAIR - so I know the drill of finding the cheapest way to get to the point I want Still, thx, I don't need to search in the future

Queenofmuffins, have you been somewhere else in East Asia? I'm planning to go there too, and I would love to read more from a fellow manga fan if there's a chance xD <excluding Japan, this one will be "just Japan" xd>

Yup, my trip was Melb - Malaysia - Singapore - Thailand - Cambodia - Vietnam - Bali - Philliphines. Now I'm back in Malaysia for one more night, then I'm flying out in a couple of hours to Hong Kong.

Laos also sounds really awesome, and Burma, but I haven't had the chance to go there yet. -_-

Sorry...I will have to search really hard...or is a mugshot okay for U?I think I've been tagged in a pic on a hi5 account somewhere, but I don't think that I have the patience to search for it...

But if UR imagination is good then U can consider the 4 yo me as being 190cm+ tall and slim, with the same blond hair, but less
