Hello, I've just arrived in Quito, on Tuesday, from the US. I've previously been active on the US version of the sex guide, as well as the Mexico and Philippines ISG boards.

Not sure how long I'll...

Thank you, KrazyEcGuy and JustMe70, for your answers. I apologize for asking a question and then disappearing for so long. I appreciate your help.

I'm looking forward to being in Quito soon and...

After reading the forum, I have a question for the locals:

It seems that 15 minutes is the normal time in the chongos. How difficult is it to negotiate a bit longer session?

With advancing...

What a great report! I don't know how to do it, but this certainly should be listed as a 'Report of Distinction'. (Edit: I see it has already been listed there).

Also, I admire your energy.
...

I disagreed with you. I'm sorry I haven't seen the pros / semipros there. I don't see why a simple disagreement is worthy of the sort of crap you posted.

I don't doubt what you're saying about local maps, Cheapy, but I've never heard it called anything but Juana Osmena, that's what Google Maps calls it, and cab drivers always know exactly what I mean...

Where on Junquera?

Your experience there seems different than mine, SA. I'm in there a lot, either to eat occasionally at the food court or to do grocery shopping in the supermarket, and I don't recall seeing anything....

I live just off Juana Osmena. I'm surprised you didn't find anything there, unless you were very early. There are usually several at various places on the street pretty much any time after dark.

You're probably referring to Cobra, which started out with an asking price of something like that. The price has been dropped several times and I think it's now $23, 500 or something close to that....

I have just arrived in Cebu for what is planned to be an extended stay. I have Moalboal and learning scuba diving high on my list. I would think your BYOG advice is right, since it seems to be a...

I suppose it might be profiling. I have gotten the same opening questions in Thailand and China, as well as in Mexican border towns. Anywhere I'm obviously a foreigner. I think it's more likely just...

SA & RK: Thank you both for your input. I guess I'll scratch this place off the list. Actually, I was pretty dubious about it anyway. I only mentioned it in response to the inquiry by BigRick, who...

Dragonladies. Org is a good source for info on scammers.

The cheapest plausible place I've found in Cebu is Cebu Business Hotel. It claims to have some amenities (fitness room) and the pictures look nice (for what that's worth). Maybe somebody here has...

That's about $4usd per pill. About what it costs in the US. Generic tadalafil can be bought through Canadian pharmacy websites for about $2 / pill. Whether they ship to the Philippines is another...

Thanks, Roger. I'll check it out when I get there (I expect to be in Cebu long-term, maybe permanently, in about a month to six weeks).

DS: You've posted several times about where and how to buy Viagra from street vendors, and how much to pay. Much appreciated. But I prefer Cialis, because it works quicker and lasts longer (for me at...

Thanks. That's great to know.

I'm not thinking of starting a business and what I would be doing would be fairly low profile (mostly free-lance writing, probably, and similar small-scale stuff) ,...

I'm planning to move to the Philippines (probably Cebu, maybe Davao, definitely not Manila) next year as a semi-retiree. Although the last few years have taken a toll on me financially, I could make...

good question. i have great memories of bangkok, and if mongering were the only consideration, i'd be headed there (or the philippines) on the next plane. unfortunately, for business and family...

I did some due diligence regarding Quetzaltenango (Xela) in Guatemala, and it appears Tapachula, being just a few hours away, is the preferred border run to renew GT's six-month visas. Head to...

Sounds like fun. LOL.

I enjoy sleazy places (especially sleazy places that have 18yo hookers) and I've never really had any trouble, in spite of having been in bad areas of a lot of towns -- US,...

I have been reading a number of Mexico forums, since I'm considering relocating there next year (I'm considering Xalapa, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Puebla. In roughly that order). One dealing with Oaxaca had...

My apologies for a long-delayed report.

Before my visit (late May), I searched the forum and found little encouraging about the area near the Courtyard by Marriott -- so I've got a bit of good...
