Kumusta Mita..Can You Pls

[greg]

Post more information about Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, etc Ladies in RP. I believe the Philippines is the safest country to visit for Guys interested in those Women. Cheaper to meet them in RP than traveling to their native country. Thanks

If you are looking for a variety of Asian races, the best place to look is of course California, specifically the L.A. basin and the Bay Area.

If you are interested in a similar variety outside the U.S., the next best place to look would be Hong Kong.  Though I haven't explored all of the Far East, it is one of the most multicultural cities I have encountered so far outside of the Left Coast.

Greg,
I made friends of various nationalities because I was working with a company that assigned me to other Southeast Asian cities.  
There are other Asians in the Philippines but your best chance to meet them would be to go to their country of origin.
Sorry I can't help you more.

If you are looking for a Filipina lady, go to the Philippines.

If you are looking for a Chinese lady, go to China.

If you are looking for a Japanese lady, go to Japan.

If you are looking for a Korean Lady, go to Korea.

If you are looking for a Mexican lady, go to Mexico... :-)

The PI safer than Japan, China or Korea? I don't get cheaper either - maybe slightly if you travel like shadow and don't mind hitchhiking to the airport, but not much. I'll bet discount airfares to Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Hong Kong, etc, where direct, non-stop flights are available are generally less than Manila, and if it's a deal breaker that you have to spend $5 for lunch instead of $2, maybe you shouldn't be looking for a bride in Asia.

I'm not jumping on your case, I just have never heard of anyone ever say he thought Manila was safer than Tokyo before. Some bad experience here or is it some kind of mis-information?

Jeff, you are right re the safety issue.  Japan much safer than Philippines.  But you are a little misleading re the costs except for airfare.  $2 vs $5 is not a true picture.  More like $2 vs $10.  And you didn't mention the hotel bill.  That might be 5 to 10 times higher in Japan than Philippines.

I figured typical decent hotels in Philippine cities were in the $20 range (vs $50 in Japan) and lunch in a resturaunt would cost about $2 (vs $5 in Japan) based on what I'd read here. You can get a good, safe, clean (though small) hotel in Tokyo or other big cities in Japan for Y5000-8000 (US$ 41-67) Ref: http://www.japanhotel.net/ and in smaller towns, about Y4000 ($33.) Are you saying you can get a safe, clean hotel in Manila for $4 to $13 and in smaller towns for $3 to $6.50? Acording to this page: http://www3.tky.3web.ne.jp/~edjacob/hyojun.htm, over 80% of Japanese feed themselves lunch at a resturaunt for Y800 or less ($6.60) and over half for less than Y600 ($5.) Are you saying you can get a decent lunch in Manila for $1 to $1.30? I knew it was cheap there but I didn't realize it was that cheap.

my only experience is staying five months in the Philippines. I did stop over at airport in Japan, found the Japanese employees to be friendly. Right now I'm not actually looking for another Foreigner, just curious about the Ladies from other countries that live in RP. Never heard much being mentioned about them on this forum, so I think it would be nice to hear about them. No bad experience for me with those countries, only rumors about how certain races are mistreated in those countries. What may work for a certain race may not  work for other races especially in China from what I heard, so visiting China isn't safe for all races. Later

that the toyota races are exceptionally dangerous in Japan, they all drive with their eyes half closed.
