        That's true, August is one of the hottest month but I couldn't go there earlier unfortunately.

          The missus is moving to Bordeaux, France at the end of September to finish her master's thesis. Has anyone been there before?
          I'll be visiting once a month, while she comes back to Germany once a month as well but we want to explore that area of France while she is there.

                At that time yes.

                However, being in HK with 33 deg and this humidity is awful. Mookie misses 50 and dry

                  Fade has been impressed with his own ability to tolerate Hawaii humidity this time of year. Bodes well for Taiwan and other southernly Asian destinations on his radar.

                  Fade has heard opinions that the Phillipines are the most humid of all, even compared to Singapore/Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. But you can't say for sure until you've been. 🤷🏼

                  Fade had Filipino food on Kauai and is now intrigued about going, even with Dueterte or whatever his name is in power.

                  Mookie and Slappy are our Asian "experts" - thoughts?

                    There is a large Filipino pop in Kuwait and we go to their “mall” often to eat. Mookie likes how they use everything and will have soup dishes where you scoop out the dish and eat over rice. Also find many spicy mixtures and sauces on the table like Thai and Lao to adjust it how you wish.

                    Mookie have never been in country though. Indonesia neither.

                    Just eaten the food

                      Papaya chicken must be the entire existence of rice down there.

                      Fade also saw all the sauces on the counter, albeit for American palates (Frank's, Cholula, Tapatio, "rooster" sirarcha, etc.)

                        Mookie searches for the kitchen made oil with crushed peppers with seeds floating around. Who can guess how long it’s been fermenting, but love the kick it adds. Best when all the peeper products becomes a sticky paste that needs to be scraped off the spoon

                          If you spend significant time in Manila then the humidity among other things will be noticeable and bothersome most of the year. If you plan to hit the beach or mountain regions then it's less problematic especially if you time your travel between November and February both for temp, humidity and avoiding rain. Those are also the best months (obviously) if you do spend time in Manila.

                          As for traveling around the country domestic flights are cheap and there are plenty of options, beaches are plentiful and you can get primo accommodations for $100 a night if you plan and research, but even $150 without a problem. We typically use trivago but airbnb options are growing exponentially and we have a 2-day trip to Manila coming up and snagged a great deal.

                          Areas I would research depending upon what you want:

                          Baguio
                          Boracay
                          La Union
                          Cebu
                          Chocolate Hills
                          Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park
                          Panglao Island
                          Mactan
                          Malapascua
                          Coron Island
                          Kawasan Falls
                          Ilo Ilo
                          Tagaytay
                          Magellan's Cross
                          White Beach
                          Mayon Volcano
                          Mt. Pinotubo (had a major eruption in 1991)

                          Historically there are great places in Manila, we're not far from the Bataan Peninsula, Mount Arayat National Park (site of Mt. Pinotubo) there's a plethora of historic churches throughout the country, etc.

                              I saw a YouTube video from a guy who made it all the way down to Davao, and he was like "This is the most humid city I have EVER been to."

                                Haha. We have friends vacationing on Cebu right now and sent some pictures from the Chocolate Hills. Looks wonderful. They also did some swimming with whale sharks and dolphins. I'm totally gel!!
