safety deposit boxes and your passport etc
Hi again, my my you do worry a lot but the good part is that once you come back from your Philippine trip you will realise that most of your worries were unfounded, I promise!! Most hotels have a laundry service. However, I find the cheapest way to get your clothes washed and ironed is simply to ask one of the housemaids in the hotel providing you have overnight to do it for you. She will be very happy with a little extra cash and you get your laundry done. As a guide, most chambermaids would be lucky to make around 200 pesos a day so even if you gave her 100 that would be generous and it would cost you about $AUD2.50. Don't worry about her stealing your clothes - she would not risk her job for your undies!!!.Safety deposit boxes are 99% safe. My advice: Have a photocopy made of the FACIAL page of your passport making sure that the number is clearly readable, put that on your body when...
