    Thanks everyone - Have read all your comments with much interest / amusement. Funnily enough we drank San Miguel when out for dinner with Kris and her friends. I'm usually a cask ale kinda guy but certainly not averse to a decent lager from time to time. The SM was quite enjoyable - so much so I picked up a few bottles from the mini mart on the way back to Kris's place --- and also some Red Horse!!! The RH is ok - 6.9 per cent so clearly the potential to do some damage. In fact Kris warned me about its potency but I told her when I was (much) younger I used to drink Carlsberg Special Brew (can't stand the stuff now) which I'm sure many here will be familiar with!!!

    On the aircon thing Kris only uses it in her bedroom which I find most pleasant. She probably needs to get it serviced and I'll encourage her to do that although it certainly does its job. It's about 2 years old and according to K is one of the modern economical ones which she says only costs 5 pesos a day to run - although I suspect this will be an underestimation.

    Going later today on Manila Bay Cruise so hopefully we'll have a nice evening on the briny - I think there's a buffet too!

    More later!

    I asked Kris if she knew if the short term hotels changed the bed linen after each short term stay. She'd never stayed at one but understood that this didn't always happen - and only if there was obvious soiling of bedclothes etc.

    I'm sure there will be different standards in different establishments and I can see they serve a purpose - but I would wish to be first assured that I was not using the same bedding as the last customers did for their brief love tryst!
