General Info

[QUOTE=Hawaiiflyo]Thanks for the info, Amavida and X-Man.

Do you guys know if any of these bars are any good? (not sure if these are shut-down, my resources might be a little dated):

P Burgos
Bananas
Cuddles
Dimples
Firehouse
Ivory
Jools
Magambo
Papillon
Wild West West[/QUOTE]

Hi, as previously stated in recent reports, some of them mine, all the Bars on Burgos are basically the same, reasonable to good standard of girls and drinks prices are 150 (SM beer) and 350 (Lady Drink) with Barfines at 3500 etc etc.
The cheaper end of the scale is the Wild West Group with lower Barfines, and IMHO lower standards of girls too.
The higher end of the scale is Joules/Davino, which has ridiculous drink prices of 350 (SM Beer) and 750 (Lady Drink) with no Barfine possible ???

Most guys in the know will give Burgos a miss and use one of the many alternatives.

Cheers, F/Fifty

[QUOTE=X Man]Hmmm, so you need to sneak away for a quicky? Are you flying into Manila?

If you stay in Makati MM (lots of shopping opportunities for the Sig. Other), you could then go to Burgos Street. There are also some nice MNL waterfront hotels (Diamond is expensive - great pool, Bayview (small pool), Miramar (art deco, no pool) and then you could go to the Ermita bars.

Then on to Cebu. I wouldn't usually recommend the Mactan resorts, but you can find clubs on Mactan (is the Mermaid still there?), and there are more in Cebu proper. So stay a few days there. Another option is Marco Polo, up the hill. I'm suggesting these places because they are relatively isolated and you need a taxi to get somewhere...so, you get caught in a traffic jam on your way back from SM mall, which explains your late return.

Once you get to those other places, it might be difficult. If you can slip
away, ask the taxi driver or tricycle triver. Actually, that might be your best choice in the cities too since you are likely looking for convenience. I don't know much about the casas, but I think they have beds on the premises.

Prices depend on where you end up, but a Cebu street girl could be as low as 500 pesos, pulling a girl out of a club could be 2000-4000.

Avoid Mactan bars, do not waste your time. They generally try to rip you off with attempts to charge 10,000 pesos for a barfine. Stay with the Cebu Bars. I haven't been to the Mandaue area bars, so I couldn't say.

[QUOTE=Professional]Thanks!

I had some ideals but I want to hear from the rest of you to see what other people thoughts are.

I was more think in terms of buying a condo (about 150, 000 US dollars) leaving 850, 000 to live on assume I live 40 additional years I can spend aprox 3, 500 a month before my 850, 000 reaches 0. This is assuming a 4% return on my money.

But what if I live longer?[/QUOTE]

Why buy anything, when you can rent on your interest? The only reason you really would own a condo in the US is because you might have appreciation and the interest write-off. You can pretty much count on neither in the Phils.

You could rent an incredible house for around $1000 a month in Cebu or AC.

[QUOTE=Gilberto]Hi all,

I will be in boracay for 10 days in May and I don't really know what to expect. After reading a few reports I saw mixed information. So many said that it is BYO but this is not really my way, to be stuck with somebody. There are reports of a guy.Grubert- on the another forum forum that gives a completely different picture of the island, plenty of opportunities. Are the prices so high? And what about some good massage place were they make you happy, maybe one of those beach masseuses in the privacy of the hotel. Will see, any other opinion?

Take care[/QUOTE]

BYOB, definitely, or even two. Yea, there are some girls there and they didn't even look good and/or old enough in a dark bar. He either has very low standards or got really lucky. I suspect the worst scenario. Find a girl that makes you laugh and take her. Traveling with a filipina is great. She will take care of packing, etc. If you get bored don't stay long. Personally, I always like Boracay. I've stayed for 9 days before and never enjoyed getting bored more.

Stay cheap there, too. You will be disappointed at higher end places. If you stay at a place like Cucomangas or Dave's Strawhat Inn, you blend into the vibe of the island more. You can't be disappointed because you aren't spending too much. Don't stay directly on Beach, the hawkers will drive you nuts. Stay on the other side of the service road.

[QUOTE=Rubberyman]Hi Professional,

While your cheapest option may be to get a condo - I would most strongly urge that you wait a few years before you do. If you buy a place and then find you don't want to live there, or the dollar goes south even more than it does, or you find somewhere better, you will regret it big time. Also, once you are there, and you have checked out a few places to find your ideal location, you will also find that from time to time there are bargains out there. ie, be careful and cautious and you might find it not only cheaper, but you will avoid the risks I mentioned above.

Also, if you rent for a year or so, and you are there 'long time' you might find that you have yourself say three or four 'girlfriends' who will provide you with the entertainment and variety you need, and on exchange of medical tests will provide a much safer service - BUT at much much cheaper than the 9,000 P per week that you are looking at. (Of course you can still visit the bars for further variety if you like - I just bet that if you have three 'girlfriends' you won't need to do it all that often). ;)[/QUOTE]

Cheapest option is renting in the long run and being able to move should the shit hit the fan or you get bored.

You could also rent more than one place at a time. A place by the beach for part of the year, a place in AC, etc.

Renting gives you flexibility esp. with an exit strategy.

Hi Gilberto,
[QUOTE=Gilberto]I will be in boracay for 10 days in May and I don't really know what to expect.[/QUOTE]
Its a small tropical Island in the Philippines much favored as a FAMILY holiday destination. I take the wife & kid there for a holiday. I take girlfriends there for a shag-a-thon. I dont go there to FIND pussy.
[QUOTE=Gilberto]So many said that it is BYO but this is not really my way, to be stuck with somebody[/QUOTE]
Then you will be very disappointed in going there. It is NOT a mongering destination.
As Firewalker correctly said, reports of mongering there are way off the mark compared to the cornucopia of pussy available elsewhere in the Phils. If you want beach+pussy then go to Subic or Cebu to name just 2. If you just want pussy well.. practically any of the bigger cities has pussy galore.

Don't plan on living on this earth for more than 30 years, there are too many nutcases out with nuclear weapons. I dropped out of the social trap two years ago with a small amount of cash, nothing like yours, and managed to live on its interest comfortably. I also make extra doing little consultation work.
I don't have the urge to do the deed everyday unlike when i was on vacation so my mongering budget is much less. There is nothing on this earth can compare to waking up every morning knowing that you will never have to go to work for the "man" again.
You are a very lucky guy if you act on it and remember to spend your money wisely. I wish you lots of luck!

Take care[/QUOTE]How are you, Gilberto?

FireWalker(post#1677) and Amavida (post #1679) have given you very good advice. Both posts make sense and are accurate and reliable, I am just filling in some of the gaps.

Some of the larger hotels offer in-house massage services, however you will find there will be no happy ending when the massage is over.The beach masseuses- mainly female, are part of the Muslim Vendors Association Cartel and therefore the chance of a hand shandy in your hotel would be non-existent. However, I would not deter you from making the appropriate and discreet inquiry-you never know your luck in the big city.

You will find the restaurant prices are high, the shops in D'Mall are expensive and many vendors trying to sell you shells, T-shirts,sunglasses,real fake authentic Rolex watches and so. Boracay is a highly commercialised tourist trap.

The general consensus of opinion is that you bring your own girl. Failing that, you may approach the few freelancers(if any) who may frequent Summer Place/Cocomangas. Watch out for the baklas (men dressed as women). Prices for girls are high (compared to Manila/Cebu/AC ) as the demand is high and the supply inadequate.

Boracay is a romantic place where you would bring a girl you like.

Note: my trip to Boracay was in 2006 there may possibly be some changes.

[size=-2][b][u]EDITOR'S NOTE[/u]:[/b] [blue]I would suggest that the author or another Forum Member consider posting a link to this report in the Reports of Distinction thread. Please [url=http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php?]Click Here[/url] for more information.[/blue][/size]

If anyody has any experience with this, I would appeciate the advice. In preparation for my trip to makati this month, I've been making a lot of contacts with women in the area there through "Date in Asia" site. Got a bunch of phone numbers and Yahoo chatting going on.

Some are pretty clear what is expected. " Help with School". While others are more discreet. As I'm only there about a week I don; t want to waste any time.

Does these usually work out the way I'm hoping. Basically getting laid. Or are most of these women looking to string you along hoping for a more permanent thing.

Thanks,

Marty

I just wanted to say thanks for everybody's input I am not sure what I want to do yet but whatever it is it won't be for another couple of years. Mostly I want input on how to use my money in Philippines if I decide to retire at a early age. I have some ideals of my own but it never hurts to get other peoples input.

Thanks again!

[QUOTE=Professional]Say your in your mid 40's and if you were to cash out all your assets you would have 1 million dollars.[/QUOTE]
In case you've found some reasonable solution, pls let me know.
I'm in a similar "dilemma" :D

Cheers!

Noticed there are loads of Pinay indies advertise on [url]www.escorttown.com[/url]. Quality appears to be quite high and prices range from high reasonable (P2-3T ST) to plain silly (P5T+ ST).

Any of you guys have any experience of using providers from this site and any feedback would be much appreciated.

Cheers GH.

I was in Manila for 4 days early March. Met a girl on DIA and chatted withe her for say 4 weeks. I didnt tell her I was going to visit Manila until the week before I went. She wanted to know my flight details, she met me at the airport, my flight got in about 10pm, we where in my hotel bed and hard at it by 11pm. She was like a shadow for the whole time I was there, but managed to get away to sample andther DIA girl. I bought a local SIM card to contact them and they drop everything at short notice. Give them 200 or 300 peso taxi money.

Good luck.
