Default Why I refuse to spend a dime in Asia

I have a general rule of thumb when shopping in a place with unmarked
prices. Whatever price they quote you just offer half. Also, it is hard to
get ripped off if you already know what the locals pay.

I have friends who have a website and a yahoo group and are happy to help
foreign visitors to Cebu in the Philippines.

The Website is he

The yahoo group for general discussion about Philippines but Cebu in
particulr is he

I spend my travel dollars in other regions of the globe and
eliminate SE Asia.

I refuse to pay these rac-ist a*holes who have a two tiered
price structure charging multiples of the going rate to
non-Asians.

Also, is it my imagination or are Flips the most underhanded,
sneaky slimeballs on the planet?

Pls go thru this group to share your India travel experiences. All
types of experiences welcome, may be good, bad or worst.


http://groups.yahoo.com/group/indiatourismforall/

All are invited to join this group foreigners who have
visited/want to visit India, Indians who want
to tour and explore different parts of India.

Share your experiences of visiting different parts of India.

There are lot of tourist guides and books about tourism . But real
experiences of the tourist will
be much more useful than a tourist guide book.

The tourist guides are for only well known places. If some people
have visited an unknown place
and want to share their experience here in this group it will be a
great help to the people who may
be interested in such kind of place.
