Washman Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I know this is not really the place for this, but don't think I've ever posted in General Chat, and most of my friends on PL are here. Had my last day at work today, and was planning on moving North to be a bit nearer family. But....a few weeks ago I was approached about a job in the Philippines, and after several Skype calls, I got the job, and leave next Tuesday ready to start next Thursday! Philippines are trying to set themselves up as a rival to Macau, and there are now 4 casino/resorts in Manila - City of Dreams (Crown Towers - part of the Melbourne one, Nobu Hotel and Hyatt), Solaire, Resorts World, and the latest, Okada Manila, which is who I will be working for. I will be a bit out of town (65km), but it sounds great - beer is less than $1 a pint, food very cheap, and I'm sure there are lots of other attractions in that part of the world There seem to be quite a few poker clubs in Manila as well, so hopefully will play a bit more than I have the last couple of years - including an APT in a couple of weeks at the Winford Hotel & Casino If all goes well I will be there for a couple of years at least, so if anyone is in the area, send me a message and we can have a beer or two In the meantime, good luck to everyone I've met along the way Sir Puntalot, LIKE2FISH, bigbadken and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Brilliant news, wishing you all the very best out there. Hope the job goes well, and the warm weather is good for you, and hopefully you can enjoy some poker along the way. See you back up North in a few years. x Washman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washman Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Thanks guys - I'm going to try and take lots of photos, which I'm normally crap at, but am sure there'll be lots to see along the way, and I'd like to remember it (if all goes well!). Have set up an instagram account to stick the pictures on - but god knows if I'll actually stick to it Will add a few pictures on here once I've tried out a few of the casinos avongirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'm jealous, always wanted to go Philippines. Good luck Washy, I'll give you a shout if I trot over there while you're there. Washman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
