Uber bases their pricing on demand so at times they can be more expensive. The real question is do you want to be riding in an unregulated and unlicensed vehicle driven by some rookie borrowing his uncle's car!? Uber has a promo where upon downloading the app, your first ride is free up to a certain amount.

Not worth it if it has the up'd fare price. IMO It was convenient tho. Was at my apartment in like 5 minutes.

After going to a movie with a date, I decided to go out clubbing. Headed to Malate. Went to Eklusive around 12 am, no cover charge. Not alot of people there. Did their pricing go up? They charged like 130 p for a redhorse. Made my rounds and decided to walk over to MBC. Lots of haggard females here. No cute waitresses like on my first trip a few years back. Had one beer and left. Walked back to remedios circle and went to ZXXYZ (sp). Place was packed. Like always tons of Koreans. Was invited to a table with this tall curvy Korean girl and her Pinay friend. Maybe I should have tried to game the Korean, but generally you are wasting your time with Korean women. Stayed here for about 2 hours and went back to Exklusiv. Opened a group of 3 and danced with one girl the rest of the night. It was 5 am before I knew it and she said she had to go, so I just got her number.

I guess since I know I am here for 30 days I am procrastinating on setting up night dates with DTF girls. This first week been focusing on meeting good girls / potential wife material that I am not going to try and fuck yet.

Need to get busy and get shit in gear by this weekend.

Anyone know which one is cheaper? I've never used Uber before much less in Manila. Finally downloaded the app. Will use it tomorrow and find out.

DC,

I believe you will find that MK is our old friend Calipro so not such a rookie.

Not a good way to break into this forum!

[FreebieFan]

MK there is plenty on this in this forum so RTFF will help you, people have even said what is cheaper in their view.

Someone asked / said that this is Cali Pro under a new handle? Aka Tar Heel be. Can anyone confirm, as the writing style etc seems vaguely familiar.

We all remember Cali Pro well. One of the biggest w-ankers to have been on this board for years. My favourite quote of his was something like " well if I take her back to my dorm and she performs well I will throw her a p50 note ".

First it depends which Terminal you are getting out from. From Terminal 1, can't go wrong with the yellow taxi. Coming in about 8 times a year through this airport at all times of the day, for the past 15 years, I rarely get in a line. The other terminals have lines.

I saw your posting on yellow taxi. It is always a good idea to know where you are going. I am familiar with the place, though a foreigner, but I love the yellow taxi. No lines from T1. And always ask them to put on the meter, as soon as you get in. If they start negotiating, say, I have taken tis taxi many times, and have never paid for than 300 P to Makati. And offer 350 P. Never had a taxi driver who refused. About 30% of the time, I get this really honest drivers. They turn on the meter, and ask if you want to go via skyway. So, I tell them skyway, get the 20 P ready for the tool. Once I get to my hotel, the meter usually reads about 250 to 280 P (Glorieta 3/ Ayala area). I've always given them 500 P for being honest.

At the yellow taxi counter, ask the guys how much. They have always told me pretty close to the right amount.

In 15 years of doing this I was duped once. I paid it because I did not want trouble. 2000 P to Manila Hotel, on Manila side (Roxas). It is usually 300 P.

I would like your feedback on Uber. I plan a trip to Malaysia. And I am thinking of using Uber.

Heading out to Manila tomorrow and am stoked? Thanks for all the advice. Will report when I have time.

I've been prying the internet for information about generic Cialis and of that sort. One source mentioned that Mercury drug stores carries a generic called Andros. Can anyone confirm whether I'd need a prescription or not? Or are there better alternatives?

Used Andros on my first 2 trips to Phi. Some drug stores will ask you for a prescription and other will not.

There was something but can't remember because it was written about so long ago.

[QUOTE=DCups;1764745]MedellinKuya , you aremakingeveryrookiemistakeonecouldpossiblymake. Doyourselfafavorandreadtheforumbackabout20 pages. Sheeesh.[/ QUOTE]I have already been to the Phi numerous times. Been all over Southeast Asia and Latin America.

The only mistake I made was the dinner, which I already knew about. Just was careless. I am hardheaded and usually learn from experience. Was my first time that happened to me. Will def be the last.

Not sure what other mistakes you are referring to.

[D Cups]

Medellin Kuya,

You are making every rookie mistake one could possibly make. Do yourself a favor and read the forum back about 20 pages. Sheeesh.

Arrived in Manila Saturday evening. Went to the parking lot outside to the right of the entrance and got a yellow taxi for 400 p to Makati. Metered would be about 250 - 300 p I believe. Like always some will try and charge you 800-1000 p.

Staying at the Knightsbridge Residences. Paid like 850 dollars for 30 nights through Airbnb. This is a nice place. The area around it is also quite good. Two malls within a short walking distance. Outside of Avenue Mall there is some night market with a lot of food, people, and live music. Down the road you have the red light district of Burgos. Out of curiosity, how much do the street girls go for? I have seen some decent lookers walking around. Nice to have a cheap fall back plan if I strike out from the normal clubs or online dates.

First night I just met a good girl at Starbucks (Greenbelt). Future potential wife material. Didn't try to game her at all. Yesterday met a varsity girls tennis player from one of the main Universities in town. She is quite good and gave me a good workout. She brought 2 girls and 1 guy. I made the stupid mistake of going out to eat after tennis with all of them. We get to Glorieta and they ask me what I want, I say I don't care. They go to some expensive Italian restaurant, the bill comes out to 2,700 p and I get out my share and they are all just looking at me. Then they say do I have a card. Facepalm. I knew better LOL.

Today went and bought a new phone and some load. I recommend the Asus Zenphone 2. Very good phone for the price of 200 dollars. Budget phone that performs almost as well as some of the high end phones.

I want to keep my daily budget to 1,500-3,000 p. Tonight I will take it easy and maybe walk around this area and see if I can get lucky. No dates or clubbing for me tonight I believe.

I saw some young ass looking girls walking around here and some older fellas negotiating with them. Anyone gotten busted for that? Seems risky.
