Angeles City

[QUOTE=Meow2011;1802559]Hey guys,

I'm going to AC first time soon, and got few short questions. First of all I will need modern, guest friendly hotel with fast internet and table in the room for work, plus secure parking for the car as I'm driving.

Another thing, I'm long time Thailand resident and dislike gogo bars, where is good place to find freelancers? Any good discos etc? And the last thing, what is the going rate for ST in AC? I guess 1000-1500 peso will be enough?

Thank you in advance for answering my questions.[/QUOTE]Let me try and help you.

First things first, as a long time thailand resident forget everything you have learned in thailand it just does not apply to bargirls, freelancers in angeles city.

My honest advice to you is to go the gogo bar route on a first visit, if you can get a girl to actually leave her bar then a fairly attractive girl on fields avenue will set you back 2,500p - 3000 p, daddies girls start at 4000 p expect most girls to be mainly short time,1 pop and she will be gone.

Freelancers are available in both skytraks and high society discos.

A word of warning as regards to feelancers, they can be trouble and they can set punters up to be seriously scammed by many means which are greatly discussed in most angeles boards, that's not to say all freelancers are scammers but there is a risk there.

The other problem with angeles discos and freelancers is the discos tend to attract younger koreans and japanese punters and the girls tend to go for these punters above an older westerner.

On to where to stay, again forget thai hotel prices, on avarage the same type of hotel in angeles will cost much more, the lewis grand is my hotel of choice, rooms start at $100 us and go up from there,they provide a free limo service to and from fields avenue bars,

any central hotels under $50-$60 us will normally be a dump.

Enjoy your first trip and please write up a trip report of your thoughts.

[QUOTE=Meow2011;1802754]Thank you for your reply, but judging by the pictures and reviews of the customers Orchid Inn is rundown and overpriced. I need modern hotel with nice furniture, flat screen tvs etc.[/QUOTE][URL]http://cpangeles.com/[/URL] I stayed at Orchid Inn once and from the sound of it the reviews are right.

[QUOTE=Meow2011;1802754]Now regarding the 2-3 K for ST with the freelancer, think its sounds on the high side after I read that for 2. 5-3 K you can have the girl and bar fine from the gogo. Correct me if I'm wrong.[/QUOTE]Freelancer: 1,500 LT, 2000 max (although I have never paid 2000).

I disagree somewhat about the hotels as I find the ABC far superior to the Lewis Grand, despite the fact that the latter has a more attractive pool. There are no real 5 star hotels in the city. The ABC bills itself as such, but in reality comes much closer to a four star, while the Lewis Gramd, in terms of rooms and amentities would, in my opinion, rate no better than three. The rest are basically dumps, again in my opinion, and I wouldn't stay in any of them. The new tower being constructed at ABC, which will open sometime in 2016, might actually achieve something close to five star status.

GE.

An "African American" suggested you should have written: ". BTW, I noticeD that Obama often has a bulletproof screen. ". Noticed instead of notice.

And that the "bulletproof screen" is called a teleprompter.

As the good book says: ". "Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but don't notice the log in your own eye?. :

[QUOTE=Ikksman;1802503]Hi S,

Are you sure that there are reindeer in PI? Or do you mean the De Havilland Canada DHC-4 cargo carrier (pictured below in use at an upmarket resort). They often 'crash' in the fields.

The English 'dialects' that I find impossible to understand, come out of N. America and with appalling grammar such as [I]"I gotten off of the bus"[/I]! [b]gotten[/b]!!! [b]off of[/b]!!! WTF? And many African Americans are utterly impossible to understand. So much easier to understand African British or African Australian or even African African (f**king political correctness gone stupid)! ABCs (Australian) refer to Australians of caucasian ethnicity as ' Skippies' in a totally derogatory fashion, yet we are being racist if we admonish them!

Oh, for the days of Sir Arthur Calwell (an Australian Politician) who said in 1949 [I]"Two wongs don't make a white"[/i] (referring to a case of mistaken identity of Chinese named Wong).

BTW, I notice that Obama often has a bulletproof screen in front of him when he gives speeches. Who are they afraid that he is going to shoot? Just wondering!

Back to sitting at the bar (in Hua Hin) snacking on NiggerBoy liquorice and thinking about the good ol' days (at least my 24yo Chinese porcelain doll buys me new clothes and cooks delicious Cantonese, Hunan and Sichuan style meals).

[/QUOTE]You are right about the quality of ABC over LGH and it shows in the prices. The lowest price I have seen at ABC is $120 while I have stayed in LGH at $83. And the pool is way nicer than ABC. LGH really has to improve their game in the room furnishing and amenities department. And throw in a free breakfast.

I am looking forward to the new tower at ABC. Let us hope they keep the prices reasonable.

You know I'm not offended, I'm actually disappointed. It clearly says this "This forum is moderated", but I get bombarded with slave cartoons. Did I pay for that too? I love pussy. I love jumping around this site to gather intel for upcoming trips. And lo and behold the dumb shit always seems to leak thru. It's either a newbie requesting obvious info that he refuses to read and gather, but loves to beg for, or the occasional racist yearning for the old days- and forcing his crap down everybody's throat. You have tried to ruin one of the best threads on this site- The magical Philippines.

I assume Brit or Aussie. Same old half-hearted racism through the keyboard. I see them everywhere I go. Phils, Patt, BKK, Indo. Feeble old men hating on the blacks that get Asian pussy. You guys arrive by the millions in Pattaya, but only brave mzungu go to Africa. Them I respect, and their usually German.

What's truly sad is that those old racist days are numbered. Their youthful looks are gone, their lack of intelligence is obvious, spoil sports taking the ball home. The best ISG members share pics, share intel, and wishes fellow mongers good luck- but no, somehow hate walked into this party! Racists are old and need somebody to blame. Sorry my junk is bigger than yours mate. Yeah those videos and TV shows with sexy black men are making it over there, and your girl wants some! Oh, its true.

Yeah, I'm disappointed. Hell, real racists KILL and* Only fakes talk about it!

Yeah, we hate Obama too. He's too busy trying to please fake racists overseas! If your going to hate, be real with it. Oh, by the way. Racist hate is always directed at the wrong race of people. Dumb racist always fail to see the real threat. Hint: They multiply by the thousands and they are living among you!

I sincerely apologise that I posted a mainly OT, tongue in cheek post that perhaps was an imperfect attempt at 'black humour', although I am a strictly amateur stand up and write scripts for a couple of other comics (no smart remarks please). And I warned everyone that it was OT!

I failed to take into account that many people do not carefully read and comprehend posts. Instead they immediately get their hackles up and attack, clogging up this forum! They appear to want to return to the 'Philippine Fight Club' days.

Of course I know what a teleprompter is! And I do know the difference between caribou and carabao! Reread the post and you might be able to understand a little bit more clearly. And maybe even have a chuckle? Really!?!?!

[B]If you read my posts, you will find as a China resident, I have helped many mongers, and I have posted many more photos than any other ISGer in the China forums in the last 5 years or so! Many guys have thanked me for my help via posts and PMs![/B]

One thing I will claim is that English people of all ethnicities have a far better sense of humour than Americans (I am neither!). Wonderful stand up black comics such as Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock, Reginald D Hunter, Stephen K Amos and Frankie Boyle, I suspect would not get the standing ovations in the U.S. that they receive in the U.K. Oops the term black is ambiguous here as Hunter and Amos are of black ethnicity (and actually Hunter is American haha).

I hope this is the end of the matter and no more unbelievable responses, apart from PMs.

Cheers.

P.S. Does Stephen K Amos perform black humour? It's a double entendre joke! Get it! Bloody hell! I won't make the mistake to make any more tongue in cheek posts here!

P.P.S. And one single advertisement courtesy of the Victorian Museum is "bombarded". Really?

Seems like you forgot the first rule of comedy. Know thy?

There are whispers that ISIS fighters have been spending their R&aR mongering at AC bars. If this is true it would not be the first time that terrorists have been sighted engaging in the hobby in the monger town. Al Qaeda pilot and 9/11 hijacker, Mohamed Atta, learned to fly ultra-lights at the Angels City Flying Club. He stayed at the Woodland Park Resort Hotel with his fellow 9/11 hijacker, Marwan Alshehhi. Hotel staff reported that Atta was an avid monger and rooted a different girl every night.

In 2002, scores of Aussie mongers met their end in Paddy's Pub and the Sari Club in Bali, Indonesia when jihadists blew them up. With ISIS having a presence in the Philippines mongers might want to be extra careful as the Aussie Embassy has been warning that "terrorist attacks can take place at any time and place in the Philippines. " ISIS has realized that killing Westerners outside of the Middle East brings far more publicity and spreads more fear than killing Arabs. This means they're likely to continue this trend. AC has mongers from all of the countries currently bombing ISIS in Syria and Iraq. This makes it an attractive soft target, as blowing up elderly Westerners having a root with prostitutes is probably seen as having high propaganda value to radical Islamists.

[QUOTE=Dg8787;1803290]Seems like you forgot the first rule of comedy. Know thy?[/QUOTE]Against the desires of Ikksman I will chip in, but try to keep it short. One of the problems with almost any board of this type is just that: We generally do not know each other, so that first rule is moot. From reading Ikks' previous posts I realized that the offending one was written in jest and rather enjoyed it. Obviously others did not.

Popular forums will, by dint of numbers, contain the stupid, the thin skinned, the insensitive, and the outright trolls; it is an ugly combination in an anonymous group.

Final comment on the most hated line in my post: [I]"BTW, I notice that Obama often has a bulletproof screen in front of him when he gives speeches. Who are they afraid that he is going to shoot? "[/I]. This is actually a social comment (with a twist) on Americans' love of guns and the frequent shooting massacres there. The ethnicity of the USA President is a total irrelevancy. If I you can't understand that, then I feel very sorry for you.

Cheers.

Ikks, forget about trying to explain your little satirical joke to the politically correct crowd. To them you are an apostate sinner, a racist and you must be either converted or silenced. Something is in the air. Better joke tellers than you like Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock have commented that they now find it a drag to perform on college campuses these days because nearly anything can offend student sensitivities. Less well know comedians have had to alter (sanitize) their acts in order to conform.

On a much more serious note, I am sure you are aware of the growing fascism cloaked in political correctness and minority sensitivity invading American college campuses. It is unbelievable. These young little twats even voice their fascism out loud naively unaware of the irony and the danger of their point of view. Free Speech doesn't matter any more if it makes them uncomfortable. Of course insulting others and trampling on the rights of people they disagree with is fine because the righteous true believers are always right and their Utopian ends justify any means. It reminds me of Germany in the early 1930's when young German Fascists burned books they didn't like at famous universities. George Santayana's grave warning comes to my mind. "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."

Here is a sample of what I am talking about on college campuses.

And oh yeah, another Islamic terrorist attack today. This time killing 27 innocent people at the Radisson Blu in Mali. But please forgive my political incorrectness. I wrote "Islamic" terrorists and according to the PC police, the mad dogs aren't Islamic. Islam is a religion of peace.
