Not my thing Rugby but I would bet the swagman hotel would have big events on their tube in the bar. Many aussies stay there so wouldn't be surprised if it has some sort of event set up for big matches. If you don't know, swagman is near the American embassy.

[QUOTE=X Man]Mall of Asia. This is a nice place to visit, but it's absolute hell trying to leave the place. I waited nearly 30 min in a taxi queue.
The mall is close to EDSA Entertainment plaza as well as the Heritage hotel and Copacabana Hotel.
And if you need some flip flops.

As were hunched over the machine playing sir Galahad up comes her BF(s) who adeptly place a blade to our kidneys and demands the cash you just withdrew.
The other rip offs are more traditional the ol' grab and run, usually a street urchin will wait until you insert your card and it pops out, he'll grab it and tear ass, or your cash if your slow about getting it out of the chute.
Of course there is the nimble fingered pick pockets.
It is best to use the ATM's at the Mall where security is present, however, this dosen't dissuade pickpockets. Ditto for the ones outside banks, which during the day often have armed guards around. You got to be aware of your surroundings, who is watching you and who is crowding you. Many Bank ATms have booths where you enter one at a time, learn where they are.
I use this method,in the PI, the USA or WHEREVER I AM. I normally dont carry a wallet and keep my credit card etc. in my sock, if I approach ATM I transfer beforehand to my front pocket, keep my hand on it until acessing the machine, pop the card in and cover chute with my big fat hand. Upon retreival the card goes in the front pocket again and hand body moves to money chute, front of pants pressed up against the machine like Im screwing it, grab the cash, place in front pocket, hand in pocket, wait for receipt, take with other hand and dispose of later.
IF YOU PAY FOR ANYTHING WITH A CREDIT CARD ALWAYS WATCH THE CLERK, DO NOT LET SOMEONE TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR SIGHT MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO "double swipes", another trick here. ALWAYS SCRUTINIZE THE RECEIPT.
I've never had ANY problem here with atm withdrawal but it pays to be cautious.

Scott:
Why don’t you just use an ATM card like I do in China and Hong Kong?
I know that the ATM machines in PI have guards with shotguns standing around them. Do people get mugged near them also? Spam Hog if you can comment on the safety aspect of ATM withdraws In the Philippines.

Posts: 98Q somewhat related to mongering... Where to view the 6 Nations Rugby in Manila?
Guys
Will be in Manila next Saturday and Sunday 10th and 11th. I am a Rugby Union fan and thought i could tie in hotel location, with mongering and being able to view the Six Nations Championships Live.
Did any of you guys see any live rugby on TV over the weekend? If so which bar? What channel? Where do us Franco Italian Anglo Scot Irish Welsh mongerers go and view the rugby
TIA
DM

Posts: 9Scott,
I am also planning to make my virgin trip to Manila and Angeles City from Feb. 19 to 27. Perhaps you can use a wingman. I'll probably hit AC for a few days, then go back to Manila for the duration of my stay in Phils.
Btw, I am based out of Vietnam (saigon). I noticed that you'll be hitting Vietnam for a few days afterwards. Let me know if you want to hang out or need info.

Posts: 4Where to go
Scott,
Your hotel is in Malate area, very very near Amazon, LA Cafe and the nightlife area.
To go to EDSA Complex, you have to take a taxi, about 80.00 pesos.
To P Burgos in Makati, the taxi fare may be 100 -150.00.
There is a massage/spa with sex service nearby.
Grand Boulevard Hotel has one.
Enjoy Manila
