What I'm Trying To Find Out If There Is Much, SW, MP, Bargirl Action There.

Hi,

I sincerely appreciate your reports, but...

Would you please STOP capitalizing the first letter of EVERY word in your reports!

It's difficult to read, it's time consuming to fix, and it takes you more work to write like that.

On behalf of myself and your fellow Forum Members: Thank You! Yes,There is action in Antipolo But you are better off going to Cainta for more variety,It is an adjacent town CL out

Hope this answers your concern

I also walk a lot when I am in the Phil. Lots more interesting expeiences than taking a taxie evetywhere but I do believe you have to temper it with good sense and not walk too late at night in questionable areas. I honestly think in high traffic times i can walk to a destination faster than a taxie ride if its not too far. Here is an interesting walking story. I remember my first visit to Cebu and I was walking from Matro Park hotel to SM keeping my head down to avoid the pieces of rebar sticking out ,ready to slice your toes off. I heard water running and looked up to see the sidewalk had just ended and there was a 6 foot dropoff to a waterfilled ditch. No barricade or anything to stop a person from ending up chest high filthy water. YUKK.
Also walking the other way from the hotel the restraunt Gooda Gud decided to extend their business right out to the street making you walk out into Salinas street. Wonder who they had to payoff at the city hall to get away with that? he he. Going back to Phil in 4 more weeks so i am counting the days now.

who would have thought that "walking" would generate so much conversation.

i've walked all over malate and ermita at all hours and never had a problem. i'm 6ft / 182cm, mid-aged, average build, and walk with confidence and speed (especially if the surroundings look risky).

i've done a lot of walking in cebu city. hit all the bars on foot and even walked downtown from midtown. i have to admit, the walk from mango ave to lone star bar is very quiet and dark. you would want to pay attention.

i've also walked some in cdo and davao.

in manila, you can get plenty of walking just going up and down baywalk...and that would be very safe.

someone wrote, "are you crazy". yea, i guess i am. it's hot, it's risky, but i see a lot more on foot than i would in a taxi.

if i had a long vacation in one city, i think i'd be tempted to buy a mountain bike at the store just for transportation. i think you can find them for as little as $60. then at the end of the trip give it to some away.

the only problem i had walking was when i got hit by a bicycle in ac. i didn't expect a bicyclist to be going the wrong way down a one way road and stepped right in front of him. the guy did a tumble but i sufferred only a bruise.

Yeah i like to walk for the exercise, but like in angeles the traffic fumes can be bad news. As i have never mongered in Manila, i have only seen places on rough maps, so i am piecing together my detective work so i know what i am doing. Thanks for the tip on the train and taxi.

Walking in metro manila is not a walk in the park it can be very danger at wrong parts of town if you don't know the area,I can find a better way to
exercise like going to a gym or work out with a hot girl.

For those interested, PAL has a special web fare of a round trip ticket to Manila from LAX for $953. The conditions are as follows:

* Minimum of three days and maximum of six months stay

* Travel to Manila is permitted

* 05 April to 31 August 2006

* 16 December to 31 January 2007

* 16 March to 31 March 2007

* Valid only for sale through the internet

This is under "special web fare" in Philipine Airlines' web site for a trip from Manila to LAX. However, when I asked for a round trip ticket from LAX to MNl, it allowed me to do so for only $953, including taxes. This is a lot better than any web site I have seen, including Kayak, Orbitz, Expedia, and Travelocity.

Yeah I like to walk for the exercise, but like in Angeles the traffic fumes can be bad news. As I have never mongered in Manila, I have only seen places on rough maps, so I am piecing together my detective work so I know what I am doing. Thanks for the tip on the train and taxi.

I would advise not to walk .I was attacked with two guys with knifes once while walking in daylight one sunday afternoon it is not worth the risk taxis are cheap.

I will be in the Philippines from 12th July till 26. i would be happy to meet up in Manila, Cebu or Davao during that time. Happy to show new visitors around.

I have decided to try Manilla and have booked into the oxford suites.
Last 4 times been to phillipines always gone to angeles, but i am hopeing to find a better looking girl in Manilla, and preferably one that doen't come from Samar.

Does anyone know if the edsa complex is within walking disistance of Makatai,
i don't mind walking 2-3 miles, as long as it is safe to do so.

No way, you shouldn't walk to Edsa Center from Makatai. To far and you will have taken in so much smog by the time you get there you won't be good for nothing, it has to be over 5 or 6 miles in my opinion. Take a Taxi, it's not that much and the 2 hours your sweating your ass off out there walking you could be drinking a few cold ones an enjoying your vacation. Isn't that what it's all about anyway??? If you want to walk to most places, stay at Cherry Blossom in Ermita and you can walk to the LA Cafe and many other bar within 5 minutes.

I hope you have a great time, just take it easy and be safe.

I will defer to some of the other experts here on beach resorts. However, if it is a threesome you desire, most MPs will offer twin service and some even offer triple and quadruple service. You can choose 2, 3 or 4 girls or you can choose 1 and ask her to choose another girl she is comfortable with. I have had MP attendants who have told me that they will kiss or go down on other girls during twin service.

I know that PDP which is about 2 1/2 blocks from Oxford Suites offers twin service...

i think you miss understand me, i want a 3 some ( me , my girlfreind, and onther girl) do you think the massage parlours will be up for this?

[Sun Devil]

I am planning to book a hotel near Glorietta in Makati called the Somerset Olympia. Could someone make any comment about this place?

I stayed at the Manila Pen last year. Although the lobby, location and facilities were nice, the rooms were somewhat average. I figured that I can always go to the Pen's lobby and eat there, even though I will not be a guest, thus for my goal of finding a place in that area.

Also, since I will be arriving during the wet season (July 28), does anyone think I can just walk in and get a reservation and a discount or is it better to reserve beforehand?

Thanks in advance.

I agree with you 100%.

I have only been to Flamingo twice in my life. Hands down I have pulled the hottest girls I have found in SE Asia from that bar! Of course YMMV for everyone..... I don't mind paying extra for the sure thing. On both of my trips I had a hard time chosing!!

Regarding being swarmed by vultures... That is what I liked about Flamingo. I went to three other bars on Burgos (no clue of their name) and was swarmed from the second I walked in. At Flamingo, I had no such problems and once I chose my girls I was out the door in 15 minutes.
