I'll go suit up.

[QUOTE=GentlemanTravel;2107548]Oh, one more observation, which will not come as a surprise to anyone here with real experience. [/QUOTE]GT: Your inbox is full. Clear some messages.

I got into Manila last night and took a yellow taxi to Makati. It looked like the meter was hot but I did not say anything to the driver. There was a bit of trappic and by the time I got to the hotel it was 309 on the meter. I ended up giving him 400 because he was very entertaining. As we drove down P. Burgos he was pointing out the chicks and I said that is a bakla dude. He asked me if I ever go to Mabini. I told him that is where I usually stay, at City State, and hit LA Cafe. He mentioned another area that started with a "B" that I had never heard of. I should have written that shit down.

Thanks to Wilbarry and Dg8787 for bringing up the Hop Inn in the hotels thread. I stayed there the few hours that I was here. I booked it on hotelsdotcom for US $31. On the Hop Inn website it was like twice that price. It is a bare bones hotel (they had soap for sell at the desk, although there is a liquid soap dispenser in the shower), but very new and clean and has good internet.

I didn't do any mongering. My pregnant girl (not my kid) met me at the hotel for one last romp before she pops. Funny thing is that she is 35 weeks and said the doctor would induce labor in 2 weeks. I told her that was dumb as hell since the human gestation period is 40 weeks (and showed her on google). She insisted that it only takes 37 weeks for the bread to be fully baked and said she trusts her doctor. Alrighty then.

Caught a quick nap and woke up at 3 am. Hopped into a taxi and it was 131 pesos back to Terminal 3. I gave the driver 179 and he was estatic. So estatic that I was wondering whether I had given him a 1000 instead of a 100 since it was dark in the car. Just checked my stash and it was definitely a 100. Heading home to Thailand.

Everybody knows that bacteria and viruses don't attack on the first few strokes.[/QUOTE]That is good to know as some girls now ask for condom before insertion whereas a few years ago it was 100% bareback cum-in-pussy. Now whenever they request a rubber, I will remind them of the Three Strokes Rule. I will reassure them that they cannot possibly catch anything and it is perfectly safe to let me taste them extra skinless for 3 long deep strokes before withdrawing to don the pleasure killing latex. Just the thought of those 3 preliminary pumps of pure pleasure leaves me jonesing in raw lustful anticipation.

I'll go suit up.[/QUOTE]Only twice a year? Get real mate, we should have a flame war every month LOL.

The last several weeks of gestation are devoted to growth and strength, not development. My guess would be that in many pinay their small stature means they have to watch carefully to ensure the baby does not grow too big for them, and sometimes induce early to mitigate larger sized children.

As it might be several weeks after the last blood until the time of insemination, the 40 weeks could easily be less or more:

[I]The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) now recommends elective induced labor should not occur before 39 weeks gestation in response to current research evidence showing decreased fetal outcomes in induced labors and doubled risks of cesarean section. Another variable is the accuracy of the due date itself. Due dates are typically calculated from the first day of the woman's last period (LMP). However, this method is only accurate for women who have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate on day 14. For women with long and/or irregular cycles or those who ovulate early/late, the calculated due date can be weeks off in either direction.[/I]

I can source the research if you are interested.

Just a quick question, I've scanned a few pages and don't have the time to go through discussions on taxi preferences. From what little I've read so far, Burgos is a main street for first timers with lots of bars and stuff but overpriced. The rest of the reports seem to lean towards upscale bars with and internet hookups which is not really what I'm looking for.

Are there any other options in the city, casa / brothel types or SW that I can take up to my hotel, Sukhumvit style? I lived in Manila for a couple of months 20 years ago and I remember being able to drive up to massage parlors and not having to pay more than 2500 php for full service which is generally what I prefer.
