Angeles City

[QUOTE=WestCoast1;1675575]I believe it is cheaper than the ATM. But depending on the amount, maybe not. At the current exchange rate of about p44 / $1, sending $100 via WU should net you p4400 (you pay $2. 99 for the transaction). But you will get considerably less than p4400 at the WU pickup window in phils. WU has a statement when transferring money in any format that says something like: "In addition to the fee we charge, we also make money utilizing the exchange rate".

Is there a way to tell what the WU exchange rate is today? P40 / $1 ?[/QUOTE]You can get paid out in USD or Pesos. If you choose USD then just find an money exchange with the highest exchange rate.

And that is why you should send the money in USD if you are sending from USA.

[QUOTE=ThatGuy865;1674956]Santo's is essential dead as far as ST bars. [/QUOTE]A sad loss for sure. But that street was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It basically ended when they built the Wild Orchid. Property around there is just worth too much now.

I don't worry too much about high-end bars opening on Fields. Fine, let the high-rolling tourists come. And the dream of turning AC into the Las Vegas of Asia with casinos, nightclubs etc. -- well, it might do better than the dream of turning Clark into an aviation hub of SE Asia but probably not a whole lot better. People in this country are better at dreaming and talking than in making plans come true. Greed, corruption, and general inefficiency always seem to take care of that. For example, one thing that could really screw up AC as we know it would be a really massive influx of Chinese. But does anyone really think that the Chinese are going to put up with the place as it is now?

Anyhow I'm pretty confident that AC will maintain enough of a lower end to see me out. Like I say, not because I'm cheap, just because that's the AC I've known and loved for 30 years now. Will there still be cheap, simple bars there 30 or 40 years from now? I don't care. I'll have hung up my mongering boots by then.

[QUOTE=Pantot;1675538]No one has has answered the simple question I posed.

In AC I assume one fact. The girl has no idea what your tip will be until she is fully dressed and ready to leave. So how can performance be affected?

[/QUOTE]Usually they can tell whether you're giving or not in an hour of meeting you. Their job is a service job, a job that they can do either enthusiastically or not. With the thought of a gratuity from you their motivation to perform well is enhanced.

That's all......it's that simple. A lot of what they read in you and you in them is in the eyes.

I will be there in daze.

You positively have to check the papers as they go in to the cup. Even if you don't read them it makes you look like less of a mark as a newbie. Sometimes they try to disappear with the cup and show a "final bill". Then you ask for the cup back to check the papers, sometimes there is fast shuffling of papers and a new bill shows up. Just taking 10 seconds to check the paper as they put it in the cup will show you are not to drunk and you are aware of their tricks.

I was in AC a couple of weeks ago, and as I have been visiting about every 12 months for a few years now, I start to see some changes. Some bars changed hands, but a few have closed for good / changed their trade, one to a restaurant, another to a beauty parlour for example. I went into one bar around 9 pm (one next to Icarus) and I was the only guy in there, among about 15 girls. But no stunners. And I see less "freelancers" than before. And whilst I was there, the street stalls around Real Street / Santos just disappeared overnight. I was propositioned by two separate pairs of what I felt were "dodgy" girls, as they could not produce any I'd and I got away quickly! I haven't seen recently on here anything about roaming massage girls, the ones who ply their trade at the end of Fields, but I found a sweet one there and after a few minutes thought decided to see what she had to offer. So she had given me a contact card, to call her "office" and book her to visit me in my hotel. I went back to ask her if she could come with me, and maybe stay overnight. This was about 8 pm. She agreed, and the price was 1500 s / t and 3000 overnight, till 6 am. I went for the overnight, and took her straight back to the hotel (Pacific Breeze as ever) She really was a sweetie, with a cute slim body, and sexy as hell. We did round one right away, a short massage led me to massage her and it was all the way from there, with different positions and finishing with 69, both her holes fingered and CIM (good finish but no swallow. But I don't care by that point!) A break for some food, then back for round two, a bit more adventurous this time with toys too, and she was loving everything I did to her. This one lasted quite a while, and we were both exhausted. Slept for a while, then another pop during the night, not too sure what time! Woke finally at 8 am, and had another pop before she reluctantly left, having deserved the decent tip I gave her. A really nice girl, great experience and one I was sorry not to be able to repeat, due to my DIA girlfriend arriving later that day. She has the potential to be a good sex slave I felt, and would have really enjoyed it too, she loved the toys (pussy and ass) and took a bit of spanking too. (I would not want to do these things unless she enjoyed of course). I think these massage girls offer a midway point between the bar girls and freelancers, you can see exactly what you are getting and there is some organisation behind them if anything goes wrong, although I'm not sure they would be there if needed! There is no big bar bill, no pressure to buy lady drinks for whoever decides to sit with you. I very much enjoyed that experience and will do again.

CITYOF SAN FERNANDO, PhilippinesTwo policemen, who allegedly framed a Korean businessman in Angeles City and demanded from him P1 million, were arrested by personnel of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and Central Luzon regional policemen in an entrapment operation on Tuesday night, an official said.

The erring policemen charged their victim with hum traf after the latter paid a "bar fine" to be able to take out a sex worker from a night club on Fields Avenue, said Chief Supt. Ronald Santos, officer in charge of the regional police office, in a telephone interview.

The CIDG has yet to release the names of the policemen and the Korean businessman.

"Instead of taking the Korean to jail, the policemen took him to a safe house. They demanded P1 million but the Korean managed to give only P200,000," Santos said.

He said improved coordination with the Korean community in Angeles City helped free the victim and arrest the suspects as they tried to collect the balance of P800,000.

The policemen are in the custody of the CIDG, as of this posting.

"We are weeding out police scalawags victimizing foreigners (in Angeles City)," Santos said, referring to a campaign that began in December 2014.

Stay at Walk About for the past 3 years, visit 3-4 times a year, it is very convenient & safe. Please PM me.

[QUOTE=Feroxis;1675567]Pretty much the same way I feel. I only have 2-3 weeks of vacation time a year, so my time is worth more than my money to me. If overpaying means having a better time, or just not feeling like a cheap charlie, then it's worth it to me. That said I don't consider myself a two-week millionaire. I don't invite entire tables of girls over for LDs, but I don't mind being overly generous towards my date for the night either.

I'm not sure how the ratio is in Angeles, but my (ex-) bargirl friend in Cebu told me they get 50 p commission off a 250 p LD, and 1500/2000 p commission off the 3000 p barfine, so I generally prefer to give the money as tip directly to the girl, rather than having most of it go to the bar.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Pantot;1675538]No one has has answered the simple question I posed.

In AC I assume one fact. The girl has no idea what your tip will be until she is fully dressed and ready to leave. So how can performance be affected?

If pouty lips as she heads off ruins your experience, well sorry. Stop promising tips in advance and your problems will evaporate.

If you are negotiating a tip beforehand in AC, you are obviously with a girl who doesn't want to go with you so you are sort of in a pleading mode. That's not necessary really, When I get the vibe the girl isn't attracted to me I move on- that sea is full of wiling fish. Promising more $$ up front won't increase the GFE with a typical first time AC BF.

If you are an expat comparing 2015 AC to 1990's AC (from what I have read) then yes the girls have more power over the BF experience.

But compared to the rest of the Phils, where the AC barfine + a 'big tip' is still the minimum up front for an attractive nubile female, its still a bargain.[/QUOTE]In asia negotiations are essential to keeping the price down. If you readily agree to their ever growing greedy asking price, then you reap what you sow. When they ask 2000 I say "ok I will give you 1500 and if you give me great sex then I will give you a nice tip". They rarely ask what the tip is going to be because they assume 500. if they give me stellar performance, then 500 it is, but if not then they get 200. So as to your question, yes performance can be effected by a tip, and so can price standards.

Just my 20 pesos, LAT.

I'd never dream about telling them about how much the tip is or not. Like Pantot said, if they fish even before we start no sale.

The amount varies too, I habitually gave a single 500 bill during a streak of fine performances, lots of pouts from ladies (some that should be happy for a sale at all). Then I started to tip 300 and the same class and better of ladies gave me a smile and a kiss when leaving. Looking like a miser and getting a kiss or a generous idiot and getting a pout I know what I will continue doing.

Gentleman I have staff there so I send Cash every month.

Sending money is a 2 part equation, I am a Canadian.

1. there is a transfer fee which is easily researched, then.

2. There is the RATE of EXCHANGE. Trust me the rip off is HERE!

You need to check both to determine who is the best, my research has shown PayPal is a huge Rip off.

Also you can literally send money to yourself which is what I do, it forces you to carry some cash but hey life is a risk right, I use an IRemit service and they are good and their rate seems fair.

The ATMS are tiring and expensive and high risk in many cases!

PP.

After reading a bunch of great reports, FAQs, Wikis etc I've decided to go to AC for one night (I'm in Manila on business, can't go any longer). I've three questions I hope you can answer please.

1. There is a Victory Bus Liner terminal at Roxas / EDSA. Do buses from there go to AC? If not, which bus station do I need?

2. When I get to Dau, is it blindingly obvious that that is where I'm at?

3. As I have only one night, I want to stay in the Fields area. My preference is to find somewhere with entertainment, not just girls wandering around the stage looking bored. I have heard that there may be risque shows. Is that actually true, and if so where do I find them. And do they start late? I guess I'll wander in and out of a few bars anyway but if there are a couple to specifically aim for that would be great.

Thanks.

1. Yes.

2. I think there is a sign that says Dau, but it will be the only bus station that you pull into after leaving Manila. The other stops are in front of malls and such. If it is daytime you will be riding through a country setting and you will see a big ass mountain in the distance. The next bus station you enter will be Dau.

3. You are on your own with that one.

When I last wrote, I said I might be getting one-itis.

I did, but. Predictably, the road is bumpy.

I'm pleasantly confused.

After about 10 days straight together, minus her in the province and me in Cebu for three days.

I noticed that sex had dropped from hot and twice a day.

To once a day without much heat and with some reluctance on her part.

I'm spoiled here, with girls who get wet and their clits get swollen and they really get into the sex.

If I was home, I'd totally put up with this girl who doesn't want to fuck all the time, but has a personality that makes me want to start writing poetry and taking her to Bali, and a body and a way of walking that makes me feel like I'm looking at the Island Goddess herself.

But here in Butterfly Heaven, I'm like: shit, she doesn't want to moan twice a day? I need to go find someone who does!

Is this going to work?

Of course not, but it's fun.

The current situation is ridiculous: after breaking up because I was too horny for her / she wasn't horny enough for me, I saw her in the street, got mesmerized again, and now: for the height of ridiculousness: I rented another room in the same little hotel, one for my new 'wife' and one in case I need a mistress when the wife doesn't want to put out.

My innkeeper Myra looked at me and said: 'good luck' when I told her that this girl was special. 'what ever makes you happy. '

If she had said: 'good luck, dimwit'.

It would have sounded the same.

But, I've only got three more days here, I want to find out what this mesmerizing girl means to me before I leave. Are we going to Bali next trip? Am I falling in love? Is she?
