Makati

[Member #4698]

Bottoms, Rogues, Plan be, Kojax (when it is open & Hot Spot when it is not) are my favorite bars on Burgos. Although Bottoms, Plan be, Kojax and Hot Spot tend to have younger and better looking girls, I still like Rogues a lot. The reason is simple: Rogues is a friendly, no hassle, old school type girly bar serving reasonably priced drinks, playing decent music (real music. Ha ha), and is a bar where you can just sit down, have cold drink, relax, and take a load off. AND since the bar is stocked with plenty of friendly girls, there is always the possibility that you might spot a girl that you want to get a little friendly with or barfine. Its too bad that they removed the curtains from the sides of the booths. I used to have fun in those booths two girls at a time. Rogues Barfines et al are a lot cheaper than the high end bars not to knock Bottoms, Plan be, and Kojax. The high end bars have their virtues too. Rogues is open in the afternoon with their afternoon shift of girls. I can't wait for my return visit!

...(BGs) tend to swarm you in Rogues. Those BGs each take a section of your body and start working on it. The one who's handling your junk usually wins the prize.

Indeed, the few times I was there, there were always 3 or 4 girls swarming around me and working on various parts of my body. I enjoyed that for a while but it got old fairly quickly. BGs expect payments for that, even those who don't do anything, and after a few beers I can't keep track of whose who.

Look forward to your report. Just curious. How are you getting to the country with the wonderful Burgos Street?

PAL, at $935 from the USA's west coast. PAL is the quickest so I'm okay w / it costing a few hundred more.

I would walk & paddle if I had to.

Makati (3), AC (10), PG (4), and back to Makati for the last 3 days, 3 weeks total.

It would be great if guys (here) focused on Makati's pussy palaces, etc. And put the airline stuff in the General Forum.

To know the current vibe, quality levels, cost, potential problem areas in advance is very useful but that isn't what's going on.

In most PI forums. Strange but true.

Since I'll be roaming Burgos St in a couple of weeks I appreciate the very few who have solid ground intel.

RK you are in the minority here (guys w logic) and my upcoming trip will be better because you know what the Makati Forum is about.

Cheers. Your mini report sounds good although they (BGs) tend to swarm you in Rogues. Those BGs each take a section of your body and start working on it. The one who's handling your junk usually wins the prize.

Never thought of flying. I'll be making a visit to PG in a few months and will check out airfares back to Manila. When returning the bus can turn into a nightmare (traffic) so flying back would be pretty solid.

FWIW the ferry ride to Sabang isn't bad at all, it takes 90 minutes.

Despite my post #5823, we are still getting airline fees and routes discussed on the Makati thread.

FWIW, I dropped into Rogues last Friday night which, for those who are unsure about Makati, is near the Makati Avenue end of Burgos Street.

Nice line-up. Friendly girls. San Migs at 70 php per bottle. Very cold too (as I like it). It was fun. I left after an enjoyable 2 hours.

No mongering data to report because I did not avail of the options.

Only airline which has non stop flights to Manila is Philippines airlines. They do not fly every day last I checked. Besides fare is lot more than other one stop airlines. Best are Eva air and Cathay pacific. Short hop from Taipei and Hkg. Service is still good on Eva but gone down a tad on Cathay.

They are also usually the least expensive, and they offer attractive upgrade to business class at the gate. I took advantage of that a couple of times.

LA, San Fran and New York have non stop flights to Manila. Don't think there's any other US city that has non stop flights to Manila.

Give me some cities that have non stop flights to Manila. From here (Texas) flights include two or three stop overs making trip much longer than it needs to be. Thanks. FT.

Darn. So close but not cigar. My assistant backed out when she saw the "MNL" I wrote on one side of her globes. I even picked up a sewing kit from a hotel this week in order to make a visual illustration, backed with photos, to put in the photo gallery. She first said it was ticklish and then started freaking out. Ugh. Took a while to calm her down and convince her I am not weird and was just playing around with those twin beauties for the sake of science.

Have you measured it?

The material in these posts bears no relationship to Makati at all.

Some of the posters are those who often criticize others for being "off-topic".

Can't wait for post #5828 to finish around the world by straight line string discussions.

[Bushes]

For some reason, my 2 multiparagraph responses to your post both did not appear; the second one when the first one did not appear. It has to do with old school sting theory. As is thread!

KG, your mailbox is full. LOL!

How do you know that your globe is not an oblate spheroid?

Have you measured it?

Have another beer.

Well, we all know that the world is not a perfect sphere like a globe so a string might not work is the distances and close. Off for beer to calm my OCD.

Roger,

Do these also include the budget carriers, Air Asia, Cebu Pacific and the like? The consolidators that I use don't and for me the budget carriers offer the best routes as well as the best price. That's why I double check on Wiki. Yes it's another step but it ensure all airline options are checked.

Saw the FR Gofering but I search all those as some of the web site exclude certain airlines. So some won have Air Asia or CPac for example.

I also see the carriers and check on that carrier web site to see if any promos IE cheaper fare (sometimes I get lucky). As you know I fly a lot and I do this all the time so am used to this and I find that 10 ins of searching I can find all I need.

Very much like RTFF here if you make time to do it and don't just keep asking LOL.
