Well, I decided to treat the little wife and me to a dirt cheap holiday in Boracay, Philipines. It was pure pleasure to pay only 25 cents for a beer. The locals live in small houses, while the hotel we stayed in was the biggest thing on the island, which was something I could brag to my mates about(!) We took a trip on a boat, it had worn paint and patches on the sails, the local people really make things look authentic. And yet still so cheap. The staff in the hotels that served us gut busting food and intoxicating liquor must accept low wages and small houses - so as to entertain us fat, lardy, loud and brash westerners....ooh yeah!
