Manila

Are most girls in the Phil darker complected and short? Thanks.

Going upstairs, also avoid stoping taxi's with the police near by because they will tell you that you can't get into taxi on this level. So you may have to walk a way exiting the airport. Don't get in taxi untill you have a price, meter or no meter.

I'm assuming you're willing to forego sleep, in which case you have time. The EDSA entertainment complex is quite close to the airport. You may need a place for your bags so get a room at the Copacabana and walk across the street and find some action.

Other people have suggested Air Force One Massage for some quick fun between flights. I'm not sure where you could leave your bags. I imagine you could make some arrangements at the airport.


[QUOTE=Towelboy2010]I am arriving in Manila on an 11:55PM flight. I am flying to Cebu on the 5 am flight. No jet lag for me as this "daytime" - eastern USA.

Do I have the time to hop in town for a several hour visit? .[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Joking]darker than who , shorter than who ? which tribe are you trying to compare them with. main thing is they are smiley and they are sexy and there is an oversupply. all the rest is irrelevant , ha ha.[/QUOTE]


Sorry,I mean where are the taller lighter complected women?

CL,

Clear your inbox, I'll be in town in 2 weeks lets hook up in Makati.

Is there a slow season in PI? I was in Bangkok in June 2005. I was surprised at how few men and how many women there were. I guess the heat keeps the tourists home. It was the proverbial "like shooting fish in a barrel" scene for me. I will be in Manila the 1st week of December. Good time / bad time? Like there is ever a bad time. LOL.

Is there an enforced slow season due to the typhoon? Am going to be there in three days and wondering what the effect of the typhoon is on the 'market'?

Sweden?

I heard the Dutch are the tallest people in the world. I guess they must grow tall in order to look over all the big dikes. (no pun intended)

In the Philippines? If you like tall and light, I suggest you go somewhere else. Maybe China? Not so tall, but they have light complexions.

Or go to Japan. There's a lot of people there who don't like dark skin.

You'll feel right at home.

It is still the rainy season. What's more, a major typhoon just hit Manila on Thursday, the worst one in 11 years, causing major damage and knocking out power for all of Luzon. Also people were killed in landslides south of Manila. I understand that power is restored in some places, but not where my gf lives.

So you'll find a Manila that's climbing out from under the damage done. You might let us know how that's carrying on.

The typhoon hit Thursday. My first typhoon, and hopefully my last. Something like a catagory 2 or 3 hurricaine on the west coast of the US. Most of the serious damage was caused by falling billboards. Manila is filled with these huge, poorly constructed bilboards. Obviously, considering their large surface area, many just blew down.

LA cafe was open Thursday night, although with sporadic power. A very slow night for them. I had to meet a friend there, but it was really dead. I'll be out again Saturday, and I assume everything will be back to normal in the bars. I'm hoping all the girls will be out in force to make up for their lost revenue due to the typhoon.

Does anyone know any airline that have cheap flights from Manila to Bangkok? All the major airlines are very expensive. I am also going to post this on the Bangkok site. By the Way, I did a search and did not find any information on this.

Thanks for your fast response and information.

I just flew manila/Bangkok/manila for $280. 00 round trip on PAL. I flew 1st week of August. I don't know what you guys consider budget, but that seemed pretty cheap to me. I purchased that ticket online at the PAL web-site.

One thing you all must remember or it can cost you money. If you are traveling usa/manila/usa and do your Bangkok trip within your longer trip, make sure you bring your "RETURN" ticket to the USA with you. I made the mistake of leaving my return ticket in a safe deposit box in my makati hotel and took a 4 day trip to Bangkok. Upon checkin at Bangkok Airport I was asked to show my outbound ticket from Philippines. As it was in my safe box I obviously could not show it. So PAL told me they would not issue me a borading pass. I was ready to explode. I told them that since they sold me my ticket, they can check their computer and print me up a duplicate. They refused. They told me to "buy" a ticket Manila/Hong Kong to show immigration and then get a refund later. In my 20 trips to the Philippines, no immigration officer ever asked me to see my outbound ticket but they insisted that it is the law. So I was forced to buy a useless ticket and then cashed it in with a $50. 00 penalty for cashing it in. Can you believe these motherfuckers? I can go on and on about this situation but it just seems to be part of the price I pay for mongering.

Boycott PAL as much as is possible as these people do not value your patronage and will gouge you any chance they get. Despite being a billion dollar, multi-national company, PAL is just a 3rd world, 3rd rate company wrapped up in shiny glitter.

Dr Slim,

This has always been the case for me when flying to the Philippines from either the USA, Hong Kong or Korea on as many as 6 different air lines. In the past you may have been purchasing a round trip ticket and therefore they did not ask you this question. Had you purchased a one way ticket to the PI before this situation? If so I would find that odd based on my experience.
