Well instead of Staying in nice hotel in Makati close to the action, I am being put up in hotel in Filivest Corp City - Alabang.
Someone PLEASE tell me that there is some action to be had there....how about some pick-up at a mall? Any ideas....this really stinks so any information would definitely be appreciated

Next beach over the hill from White Beach-10 minute walk along the beach which is how I found the place being so disgusted with the overdevelopment at White Beach. Only these two hotels on Anninuan Beach. Tamaraaw is about 1500 while Anninuan is close to double that.

alegre is on cebu's west coast just over an hour north of mactan. alegre beach is the place pictured in my prior post. tamaraw beach hotel (on anninuan beach just west of white beach, mindoro) is pictured here.

wifi is a luxury in the bundok and only upscale places will have it (and even then speed will be slow, connection unreliable). consider investing $60 or so in a smartbro wireless modem.

rt: the reason i and many pi experts rarely post in this forum is jackson's failure to prevent a couple adolescents with multiple handles (dashing don being the worst offender) from repeatedly initiating flame wars. while a few good things about the board have stayed the same over the years, like spam hog, the bad still outweighs the good imho as jackson is still letting dd run amok so this will be my last post here until jackson takes action by permanently deleting dd.

Is there any place in CDO where I can buy some simple sex toys?

Good God man, you ventured into Mindanao improperly equipped?

Further to the comments about Koreans in PG, it is the same in Boracay.

If you like a drink in Cocomango's, be prepared. The Korean hordes have occupied all of the best lounges by early evening.

Large numbers of them, and they move in packs.

Thats the way Japanese/Koreans holiday. Accept it.

All,

Many thanks for your comments and advice but unfortunately several girls and long term residents have confirmed that there is no lube nor toys available in PG. The girls with their own lube have had it donated by past customers before leaving.

BTW - several girls expressed severe disappointment that they could not get vibrators locally - maybe a novel way to impress a GFE on the next visit..!!

Enjoy

I also was interested in taking a ferry from Surigao City over to Tacloban City, does anyone know if this is possible?

Yes, easy, but I don't think the ferry will go all the way to Tacloban. From Surigao you can cross to the other side then take the bus. You can go up to Tacloban by bus from the right side of the island or the left. I did the right side, a friend of mine did the left. Same same. Just don't go too late or you may be stranded as the last bus is early. Also don't believe the time schedule of the ferry the tourism office (on Surigao plaza) gives you. The time table at the port is the one the boats follow.

No need to reserve two places on the bus. It isn't that dangerous. Traveling around 5 pm is nice, because the sunset light makes the countryside even more beautiful and greener than they already are.

I have read the archives of this thread and picked up some good info since I am will be visiting some of the cities around Cebu next trip and I am looking for some GF friendly hotels that are well located near shopping and some restaurants. I do not have to stay in the best hotel in town but often I know that the selection in some of these cities will be limited. Also any info on nightlife such as gogo bars or freelance hotspots and any other general tips would be very useful.

I wanted to fly to Ozamiz from Cebu then take a bus to CDO then on to Butuan City and finally end up in Surigao City spending a few days in each city to meet some of my chatmates who have been bugging me to go visit them. Has anyone taken a bus to and or from these cities and can give me advice about schedules, prefered bus lines, price, safety and what to look out for. Would you advise me to buy two seats so I can keep on eye on my bag?

Any info on these cities would be a huge help.
Thanks in advance.

i lie Kingston Lodge in CDO (or about 5kms out of town.) Its Expat owned well managed very monger freindly good prices with a pool and their restauant is fine. But as its out of town its best if you have a medium ternm who you stay with rather than girls comming and going taxi to town is about 90P i think

The clock is getting closer for my early sept, 3 month visit.

If I can find a nice spot around this area it may take 1/2 my visit time.

I have been doing alot of research to find my hotel resort bungalow style, which has to have wi-fi.

What baffles me is the huge change in price when wifi is a must.

Many resort/hotels have internet but only in lobby, I must have it at my room and not at a huge hourly rate.

Seems White Beach area has the better higher end places that are fully loaded?

Any prices or info appreciated.

Yea, agreed. But the point was to make a day trip of it, and see the falls and the other beautiful parts of Mindoro, plus some shopping for the girl of choice.

Yes - an interesting side trip. Incidently, there used to be sex offerings on private houses on the way to Calapan in the past, especially around the water fall. Sadly, everything has been "cleaned up" now. Still an interesting trip, and the road has been improved too whereas before it was really rocky. A few girls to be found in Calapan but not as many as in Sabang. There's a couple of clubs, plus the plaza in the evening and the university (try to get a motorcycle driver to ask the university guards. Some students need to round up their fee and the guards may know them). You could take the Supercat back to Batangas too so no need to come all the way back, except if you rented a bike.

Mercury or another drugstore, or a pharmacy. There should be one in Puerto Galera town. Going all the way to Calapan just for that would be a really long ride.

yada, yada, yada, If you just want lube, ask the girls, they know where to get it.

[Denom]

One thing though, do any of the previous posters know where to get some lube? Plenty of rubbers available but can't find anything to assit the slip and slide.

Tried in SM in Batangas and none there either.
