Panligawan (Courtship) Cave. Pandalihan (Marriage) Cave. Crystal (Honeymoon) Cave. Travel Tips: Everyone spoke English and generally very friendly. It is important to have photo ID for flights, hotels, and if police ask. It is common for taxi drivers in Manila and every other city to try rip you off, or overcharge foreigners. Ask them nicely to put the meter on, or negotiate the price from the start. Ask locals what it costs to your location. If you are not comfortable, don't use that taxi. Don't be afraid to move on and find another taxi! Shopping mall culture, locals love the mall for the aircon and to get out of the heat. Generally you will notice ash and dust particles in the air as burning trash and charcoal BBQ cooking is quite common. Also if there is a lot of vehicle traffic in that city from Jeepney buses, motorbikes, trucks and cars. Locals often inflate prices for foreigners and tourists. Haggle and negotiate nicely. Be firm and confident, but always be respectful and polite. Shop around, you can often get a better price. Ask around about local fair pricing for things you want to do. "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 PHP200 - 300 a day. So tipping PHP 20 - 50 is fine.
