my thinking exactly, re. the ****. they're supposed to check i.d. for age at the door, but there are too many juvenile-looking nymphs without it. also, jurassic now has another name. and amazonia waitresses? they do not go out. it's the cleanest-run place in ermita.
i would much appreciate a report of your visit, because i'll be there in a couple of days. i still doubt that anything really happened.
[quote=loveasian*****s]it was a surprise to read about la cafe. most surprising is that jurassic, right next door, is a full on angeles city style bar with go go dancers and a bar fine. obviously, this has nothing to do with prostitution and everything to do with money. there are two likley reasons for the raid. first, the major was not getting his share of the action, so he ordered the raid to send a message. or second, a competitor paid the major for the raid. either way, everything will be as it was in a very short time. a few of the girls might be scared away for a while, and some permanently, but there are so many, what's the difference. in case anyone is worried, there is absolutely no way that la cafe will close. too much money involved, and too little evidence. while major lim did close all of the bars about 30 years ago, they were the gogo bars, and the "regular" bars like la cafe remained, or reopened shortly afterwoods (old timers, correct me if i am wrong). maybe this will also be a wakeup call for some of the questionable activities that la cafe started allowing in last year or so. mainly, the mamasans that are clearly employed by the bar. "clearly", because i have seen a list of them that the upstairs staff has so they know not to charge them entrance. some even wear badges indicating that they are in charge of the girls. they were never around several years ago, and who needs them anyway. also, keeping **** girls out would be a good idea that probably won't hurt business much. having 15 year olds in your bar can't be good when you get raided.
i wanted to check out la yesterday, but didn't quite make it. found a nice, first day on the job girl in cotton club. a lot of nice girls right now in cc. in fact, i have found edsa particularly packed with talent in the last couple of trips. more girls then average for week night in most of the bars. even barfined a cute one in vip, and that place is usually filled with dogs.
just one interesting comment. when returning my girl to the complex yesterday at about midnight, there was a police car parked outside, with another one towards roxas. i can't remember ever seeing one there before. i decided to drop my girl off a hundred feet up the road. not that there was any particular risk in dropping her off right in front of the cop, but it is always best to avoid any situation that could end up with a bribe.
i plan on dropping la cafe tonight to assess the situation. will report back.
and what is this discussion doing in the makati section?[/quote]
