Travel Series: Philippines Holiday 2014 - Episode 14 of 21 Puerto Princesa, Palawan is a popular tourist city with many beach resorts and seafood restaurants. Very nice islands and beaches. Also very clean and no smoking city. You can only smoke in designated areas, and no littering. Underground River Tour Honda Bay Tour: Pandan Island Resort & Cowrie Island e-Republik Restaurant & Bar Travel Tips: Everyone spoke English and generally very friendly. Its important to have photo ID for flights, hotels, and if police ask. Its common for taxi drivers in Manila to try rip you off. Ask them nicely to put the meter on, or negotiate the price from the start if you know what it costs to your location. Otherwise find another taxi! Shopping mall culture, locals love the mall for the aircon and to get out of the heat. Locals often inflate prices for foreigners and tourists. Haggle and negotiate nicely. Be tough, but be respectful and polite about it. Shop around, you can often get a better price. "Tip" can also mean bribe, so don't be afraid to ask what you're paying for upfront. Locals often do things to try help you, but then expect a tip. The average basic worker earns PHP 300 a day. So tipping PHP 20 - 50 is fine.
