Posts: 3094Yes, it's open. I forget the address but you can google it. Most taxis and trikes know where it is. About 10 minutes from Fields.

Unfortunately many foreigners are brash, abrasive and just out right assholes. They know they can get away with it in a third world country. In their home countries, someone would straighten them out. Especially since staff are usually the ones dishing out the abuse! It is not amazing why some foreigners get their "dues" and end up in unfortunate places. At great risk to myself, I have actually intervened in some situations, and have weapons drawn against me, by the foreigner.

Posts: 1077Prototype monger experience index
Originally Posted by GoodEnough [View Original Post]
But, my idea for a mongering index was a way for the person who has limited time and money (like most people), to determine where they should spend X amount of money and travel X number of hours in order to have a mongering experience. If you have lived in America, you will understand how difficult it can be to get time off (my trip to Thailand was postponed 8 months thanks to the indolence of a scheduling manager for my unit. She was interestingly enough, a Filipina, and like most Filipinas I have met in America, a horrible person.) Time off is a precious thing. However, I can say now that it was well worth the 26 hour flight, only to arrive in Bangkok two days later. And that is what I am trying to metricize. But, by no means make a all-encompassing rating on an entire culture. What we want to do here is help the monger judge what they get for the time and money expended for the trip.
Note that I made some trip reports while I was still in Thailand, and indicated that a few of the girls I engaged, were average in looks. This drew the ire of one BM who asked why I went all the way to Thailand if I wasn't going to screw the most beautiful women. I responded that they are more things of interest in Thailand besides the women. I pointed out that if I merely wanted to screw beautiful women, I could have done it cheaper and easier by flying down to Medellin. But, there are many things in Thailand that you won't find in Medellin (or the Western Hemisphere altogether). Hence, my proposed index tries to gauge a location on a variety of merits beyond the girls. Note that the actual sexual factors only make up 37% of the score. But, this can be tweaked.
Here is what I have gotten so far: 8 factors, equally weighted, on a scale of 1 to 10.
1) Quantity of working girls (% of general population or sheer volume in red light areas).
2) Quality (ethnic variety, looks, professionalism, variety of sex acts that are accessible).
3) Average price for short time (an inverse rating, where the lower price gets a higher rating).
4) Cost of lodging (another inverse rating, as lodging can or cannot be the primary travel expense depending on the location).
5) Quality of lodging (Are the hotels usually "guest friendly" and is it oriented towards the needs of mongers).
6) Food & beverage (Is the food acceptable or is the place a culinary destination? Does good alcohol flow cheaply and easily?
7) Transportation and accessibility (Is it easy to access from an international airport? Is the public transport good? Can you get out to other places easily?
8) Attractions & distractions (What else is there to do besides monger? Is it easy to access and is it affordable?
Now, add up you score for each category and divide it by 8. The quotient is your rating.
Anybody interested? Willing to bite? Rank Angeles City for me, and then rank Pattaya or Bangkok if you have been there, as well. Heck, rank any other city in the world you have mongered in. Come on. It will be fun.

P.S. This was not the club in question, but does anyone else remember the old Fire Empire?

Two seemingly inconsistent comments, which of course can be harmonized.
We now also have two new alternate lines for Jim Croce's refrain:
"You don't tug on Superman's cape / You don't spit into the wind / You don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger / and you don't:
(A). Play chess on the mean streets of Phils.
(B). Play pool for money with Efrem Reyes.
Grin!

These poor food servers here in the PI don't seem to understand that I want my food served hot. More than once the waitress delayed serving me because she wanted the food to cool down a little before she brought it to me.
I have been playing chess my whole life. Once in a while I will play with one of the Pinoy guys who play with friends on the street. I am sure you have seen them gathered around a game. I don't gamble so no threat of being scammed. I have never won a game on the mean streets of the PI and I play respectably well. Some people think that chess is a sign of intelligence.

Posts: 89I think you have a really good point, it is almost impossible to compare different cultures in that sense. And in my opinion as well, what is the idea. Enjoying the differences and learn from it, take the best from their and mix it with your own. And an additional point, some lake apple and some like banana, all about preferences. Beside that, enjoy every moment as it was your last.

Posts: 1191Clark airport
When I arrived earlier this week my regular driver was not available to pick me up. I have always just used our company contracted rate of P500 for him to wait for me and take me directly to my accom.
I was prepared to wait and play hard to get with the taxi scouts. Turns out there is now a published price for each hotel. My price was P350. I was expecting P500.
I guess our regular driver might be in for a price review.

If you want to compare Thailand and the Philippines in terms of externals--infrastructure, cuisine, public transportation, for example--the Philippines wouldn't stand up well. It lags behind Thailand on almost every "objective" dimension other than corruption, where on the latest "Transparency International" index, the Philippines actually placed one step above Thailand. For me, it's the intangibles that enable me to enjoy the place, and the biggest intangible is the people. Filipinos are, in my opinion, among the friendliest, most gracious and hospitable humans on the face of the planet, and their ready acceptance of foreigners goes a long way for me. I've had the chance, because of my work here, to travel to places that most foreigners will never see and to work with Filipinos from a very broad spectrum of the society and I'm the richer for it. I don't believe that Thai culture is nearly as accessible to foreigners. Succinctly stated, even a casual tourist can, with a modicum of effort, get to know individual Filipinos, while the same is not, in my experience, true in Thailand.

Is the Legion still open? That's good news. Used to be located on Macarthur just past BOC, but that was a lifetime ago. Where are you guys located now?

As for food, I totally agree. I love Thai and the occasional German heart clogging fare. PI has their Lapu Lapu and chicken adobo. Think the current or past White House cook is a PI lady.
The down side of some other areas is really the language. It is good therapy for me to talk. But I prefer to know that at least they can hear me and understand a little, Some of the girls also have very interesting stories.
If you pick up a PI GF, you can get through her some amazing deals at resorts.

Posts: 1077Thanks for your input.
Thanks to all who responded to my question with so many details. You enlightened me on some things as well as confirmed some of my suspicions. I'm sure other members will appreciate the input from all contributors, as I did.
And I think most understand my concerns. What else is in the "package" besides mongering? At my age I can pop once, maybe twice a day. I get anxious to do something different. Fortunately, the places I've visited offered other things to see and do during my sexual "downtime". We all know why Thailand attracts an awful lot of tourists each year for a reason. Its a hard destination to beat. And if you like Thai food, as much as I do, you can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner (which I did).
But, you don't hear people raving about Filipino food, do you? That's not a deal breaker. You don't hear them raving about German food, either. But, Berlin makes up for it by having an awesome selection of mongering opportunities as well as lots of things to do in the city. History, nightlife, flea markets, culture, Currywurst and Doner Kebabs galore! The superb national, public transport network makes day trips to neighboring cities (and countries) fast and easy. There is no sunny beach in Berlin, but a shitload of brothels and an abundance of freelancers who are among the best in the world.
Again, there's the whole package to look at. I think you understand how I am trying to evaluate Angeles City in context to other places. And that just gave me an idea, guys. I will try to contrive a metric formula for rating mongering destinations on mongering opportunities and quality of other distractions. PM if you have suggestions on that.
