When your lover comes over from the UK to visit you for the first time, it can be a nightmare knowing what to do in specific situations. So I have put together four tips on what to carry out.
1. Be ordered - prepare a strategy for the whole holiday. Talk about with your fiancee the locations you wanted to reveal to him. In my part I looked for the hotel myself and made the booking. You do not need to pay in advance, just give them your fiancees name, dates and what kind of room you wanted to book. If its in Manila I prefer to lodge in Makati so that its nearer to the main shopping mall, such as Ayala Centre, and additionally not too far from the airport. Even he can book his reservation online but you can not always rely on what it shows in on internet. Of course you know your country more than he will, so you can always present your suggestions. During my fiancees first vacation here, I took him to the Baguio City,The Pagsanjan Falls and Rizal House in Laguna and of course we stay most of the time here in my native land, Manila. We spent the 1st and the last two days here in Manila so that we have time to be with my friends and make sure that he will not miss his departure.
2. Be considerate - How many hours are you going to spend with him or will you be with him during the whole holiday? Make sure that you are free in the course of his stay. How would you envisage yourself in the air over 12 hours or more and just discover that the person you want to see or be with is having other commitments or have other appointment? Be considerate, your man has just been on a long journey and spent a lot to come to see you, therefore your part is to give him your quality time and make his visit the most memorable one. Decide how much time you need to stay in the hotel, I mean your fiancee of course will be very excited to see more of the country and not just stay inside the hotel the whole day, except when the weather is appalling but at least you must have another option ready in case there is a downpour and you cant go anywhere. When it is raining hard or storm it is best go to the Bowling Alley in SM Malls.
3. Be resourceful - Have a plan where to go, which area you are going to show him, ask him his interests, historical, entertainment, nature and etc. Remember to find a map or travel guide, you can buy one from the National bookstore. Educate yourself about the main tourist attractions of the Philippines so that you do not look like a stranger in your own country. Last July, we went to the surfing vicinity in La Union, The Heritage Village in Vigan Ilocos Sur, Cebu City and a couple of the days in Manila. We did it all in just eight days. It was laborious but we had a wonderful time together. By the way, if you want adventures I advise you go to The Pagsanjan Falls. It costs around 5000 pesos to rent the boat. Two boatmen will push you through the wild river to the waterfalls. It was fantastic and great fun.
4. Be welcoming - It is very important to know his food favorite so that you will have your research which restaurant to go to. Inquire his favourite foods, if he likes spicy, sweets and etc. If he wants to taste our pinoy specialty foods, you had best proceed to the Buffet Dinner in Glorietta Mall, its a restaurant that serves western, Japanese and Filipino buffet dinner which cost nearly 500 pesos per person, or go to Barrio Fiesta Restaurants and take pleasure in the Filipino folk songs with the singing cooks and waitress. Unless you just wanted to feed him hamburgers and fried chicken each day, no problem just go to Mc Donalds or Jollibee which I do not recommend because for me I rather let him eat our own distinctive dishes, such as sinigang, kare kare, pinakbet, lechon, etc. But bear in mind, he is your guest do not force him to eat the foodstuff he does not want to eat. I’ve heard that most westerner prefers to have fish fillet than fish with the head still on it. Some think that Krispy pata is disgusting, and also the dried fish and shrimp paste. In Baguio City we love to dine in The Sizzling Restaurant along the Session Road, they serve Sizzling Boneless Bangus.
I hope you have found these tips valuable, and wish you luck in your future relationship.
