Lots of options for travelling in Phillippines

Standard

So today we decided to venture out of our comfort zone of staying around our condo in Makati.

We went to Manila. And it’s pretty much like any central place in a country.

We first walked to the Malaysian Embassy to enquire about me getting a visa for our next country Malaysia.

It was pretty easy and simple and about 12min walk to the embassy from our condo.

So I  got the copy of what is required to get my visa and the visa fee is $6.60 ( that is the cheapest visa I have ever processed).

After, we ended up in Manila and marcus got his first hair cut in phillippines and I also got my hair washed and blow dry and flat iron. We both got a manicure and I also got a pedicure. Marcus also got his first shave in a barbershop. And all that total cost was $32……what!!!! And wow!!! That’s what I said….and that price includes a major tip. Am loving phillippines already…..

image

Got my hair washed pretty good and blow dry and flat iron…

Our means of transportation…it’s a motor bike on the side…Marcus and MJ on it and the driver….so cool…this small thing can carry all 6 of us…

image

Am enjoying this city

image

We think we cool like that….we all about the Base no trouble…

image

Trying to get a taxi from Manila back to Makati was not easy since the traffic is horrible after work hours…

Over all great adventure today….

Will be riding the Jeepney with the family soon….you wondering what that is? Well then keep an eye on our travel blog.

Phillippines here we come

Standard

So yesterday I went to the Phillippines embassy here in Bangkok to apply for our phillippines visa.

Now with American and Ghanaian Passport you can enter phillippines without a visa for up to 29 days stay. But since we will be staying for 59days and I did not want to deal with filling our visa forms at the airport and also with language barrier I decided to go on and apply for our whole stay visa while here in Bangkok.

Also when you decide to extend at the airport  it’s $50 but if you apply before entry at least from Bangkok it’s $30… so there you go…I got to save some cash.

Now I have applied for visa’s in a lot of embassies and I tell you what the requirement for the phillippines visa was nothing that you can’t provide…I mean ticket and 1 passport photo and copy of passport picture page.

And I submitted it at 10am which took me about 20min.

My visa was ready for pick up at 2pm the next day….super fast and efficient embassy.

So we are all set for phillippines. Will be staying in Manila around Makati. We are all excited.

12 more days and counting before we head out of Bangkok…

Phillippines I hope you are ready for the Manns clan….

As of now
