There are not that many airports in the Province so buses are your only option to see the places you want to go to. Obviously you can get a flight from Manila to a northen provincial airport which will save you a gruelling nine/ ten hour journey, but after that its buses Im afraid. Also Jeepneys onl...

I think you are doing the right thing heading north. Sagada is a fantastic place, proper Philippines as I like to call it. Not too far from Sagada are the beaches of Pagupud which are breathtaking and unspoilt. There is slso one of the largest ziplines in the world which travels over the sea. The na...

I would recommend moving north when you arrive in Manila. Google Baguio. A must see place visited mainly by the locals. Also Vigan, its like going back to 19th century Spain. You could try all the tourist spots but it will cost you.Regarding accommodation, be careful when you get out of Manila airpo...

I have a house in La Union in Luzon. The area has not been exploited with tourism and it is the most relaxing way of life. The locals are so welcoming, unlike Manila which is so claustrophobic. If I was to give you a comparison it would be like living in London or living in the Lake District( withou...

Bfc crazy. I know the Philippines fairly well. Its a fantastic country and fantastic people. I do have a few questions for you.
1) Are you travelling alone?
2) How long exactly are you staying?
3) What are your plans cor accommodation. eg. How much are you prepared to pay?

I'm the ballboy covering the section of the longside for away fans. Back of my tracksuit was covered in spit. Dirty Suverners!

rayzer

Don't suppose you suffer from gout my Lord?!

rayzer

Already onthe bubblySWC. Heathly!

rayzer

Merry Xmas everyone. From Aberdeen Claret. Nice to see so many of you in July..

rayzer

Absolutely brilliant Tony. George always had time for a chat with the ball boys, of which I was one, in the 70's.

rayzer

Hope you are safe and sound. Just found out my house in Luzon survived Mangkhut.

rayzer

Edit. Is there a problem.

rayzer

Is thete s problem with that pisstottoad?

rayzer

Hi CC. What are the names of the guys who work inthe Queen Vic.? I go in there sometimes before I pick up my daughter from school just down the road. I would like to meet them and thank them also for there hospitality.

rayzer

I hpoe it wasn't Aberdeen fans heading home. RIP .

rayzer

Do you still have a bus staying at Hallmark tonight?

rayzer

Thanks for that super dandies. I was trying to think of some decent pubs near Castlegate. There's a couple on Schoolhill also. Wordies and Triple Kirks. You're right about King st and Market st. Best avoided. But I still think Castlegate is a cop out.

rayzer

There is a brew dog quite close to the ground , but regulations regarding children are a lot stricter than in England.

rayzer

Personally I wouldnt drink in Catlegate.

rayzer

Busy at the moment Leisure, but will get back to you. I know you are staying in Dyce. Might be an option to drink in Dyce then just head into town.

rayzer

There is a chain of chippies called the Ashvale. They are dotted allover Aberdeen and the surrounding areas. The nearest one to you will be on Great Western rd. Try the Ashvale Whale! A lot of people swear by the Dolphin chippie just off Union st towards Holburn st. Hope that helps Rowls.

rayzer

The Maritime museum is another good place of interest. Admission free, 2 minutes off Union st(Castlegate end).

rayzer

Cant emphasise how good Fittie village is. I havent seen a better example in Britain of a relatively untouched fishing village from that era. Even though I said avoid the pubs around the harbour, its still worth a look just to see the huge oil supply boats.

rayzer

Crown and Anchor and Regents Bridge I would avoid.

rayzer

Rowls. If you go to Fittie, look for the Fittie Bar. Its a throwback of a pub. Would advise everyone to steer clear of pubs around the harbour, especially Regents Quay.

rayzer

Dpsussex.Wild Boar is great pub on Belmont St. Lots of friendly boozers in that area. Never been to a comedy night there.

rayzer

Oops! Forgot your username.See you soon.

rayzer

Not sensitve at all checkov. I saw the post and have lived in Burnley and Aberdeen, but chose not to reply because I'm not lowering myself to that level.

rayzer

A few other clarets staying at travel lodge bucksburn. If you need any info on how to get to grounnd and back just let me know. Don't think you will need much help, not with that itinery. You should have a great time although Livingston is a bit of a concrete jungle.

rayzer

Intrigued cricketfieldclaret?

rayzer

Shouldnt have any problems walking up to the ground. Busy city centre with lots of shoppers , but it is quite a hike from Jurys.(about 30mins)
Buses are easy enough if your not up for it. Every 10 mins from Union st.

rayzer

Kendalrobbo. Are you staying at the Jurys in the city centre? If so you are in a prime locationfor all the amenities. A bit of a heads up for you, there's a cracking little pub across the road from Jurys, called Aitchies.

rayzer

Might see you around unless you've got plans. I live in Aberdeen.

rayzer

What 4 days are you up cc?

rayzer

Believe me if its raining and the wind comes
howling in from the North Sea, P Q and R might as well be all uncovered.

rayzer

I know there are regulations to be adhered to regarding Uefa, but I dont think you will have half the problems you are anticipating. Ive been on europeann games at Pittodrie for many years and I've never been asked for any ID.

rayzer

Millertime bud!..Ive lived in Aberdeen for over 30 years and have stood arm in arm against the Old Firm(especially the late 80s). I have lived through the history not looked it up.

rayzer

It was because of a pitch invasion in the 1980 cup final between the Old Firm that alcohol was banned from football grounds in Scotland. You all saw what happened 2 years earlier on the Turf. Definately drink related. Scottish football had had enough.

rayzer

Also be aware that the park and ride are of no use to Burnley fans unless you are staying in a hotel well out of the city.

rayzer

Just to let you know, the Castlegate has a couple of pubs that are like the Turf and Prinny Royal. It does have a Wetherspoons which is crap and as for eateries think Church St.

rayzer

Yep. That's the Jimmy I remember.

rayzer

Burnley born and live in Dyce. Can't wait for this game..

rayzer

Only one I know is Jimmy Ostle. Remember his picture on the wall at St Mary's with the Dorian Cup. His brother Billy was also in the picture.

rayzer

I live in Aberdeen and would love to go on the game but have no chance of getting a ticket. Yet there are tickets going a begging. It's wrong wrong wrong.!

rayzer

Sorry, "troubleat mexico". On the lash as we speak in HK.

rayzer

Gareth is the Hong Kong resident. He will look after you. I had a great time. Start a thread nearer the time "new mexico". You will love Hong Kong.

rayzer

Levraiclaret. The mercure is bang in the city centre overlooking Union st gardens. Cracking hotel.

rayzer

Brilliant post Alan. I hope you get a reply.

rayzer

Unbelievable. I live 100yds from the hallmark. There is a pub 5 minutes from the hotel that is worth a visit.

rayzer

Are you talking about the one in Inverurie wellernut. Lovely establishment!
