Title: keep trying? Post by: chevy on November 21, 2002, 05:00:00 AM Mailed 15 letters to the phillipines 4-5 weeks ago and have not heard anything. I'm wondering if it is me or is there a better way to make contact.

Lot's of good estimates here for sending/recieving mail...that is, if the letters arrive at all. My wife has quit sending any type of mail to Cebu, only 1 out of 5 letters arrived. E-mails have their risks also, but you might consider oneandonly.com, about $20 a month membership to send 1000's of emails or filipinogirlstours.com (no,not a "tour" co.) free email addy's and the operators meet and interview every girl on ther site Title: Write some follow ups Post by: Surigao Ken on November 22, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to keep trying?, posted by chevy on Nov 21, 2002
If you are really interested in the ladies send a follow up letter, complete with photos and such. If you're using a computer print the letters and jazz them up. Title: It Isn't you! Post by: Dave H on November 21, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to keep trying?, posted by chevy on Nov 21, 2002
Hi Chevy, My letters took 5-6 weeks to reach Butuan City, Mindanao. 2-3 weeks for the return response. If you didn't have them stamped or stickered "Air Mail" they may take months to reach a lady in the provinces, as they wander along by ship from island to island. Email and cellphones have made contact much easier. Good Luck! Dave H. Title: keep trying!

[This message has been edited by Ray] Figure on 2-3 weeks going over, 2-3 weeks to get around to writing a letter, then another 2-3 weeks coming back (6-9 weeks) Ray Title: Carrier Pigeon...

Shoot guy, we live in an electronic age... Fire off some emails and get something started first... Then follow up with snail mail... Or ya could light the fire on that bow-tie you got under the hood and just drive 'em over... lol.. Sorry, couldn't resist... wizard Title: ROFL!

Hey Wizard, I think carrier pigeon would be faster than snail mail on the "slow boat"...although there is a strong possibility that the bird might get eaten enroute. :oP Dave H |
