Angeles City

[QUOTE=DelBosque;2096924]Thanks Pompetus. If I understand it is the long road named ' Don Juico Ave ' on Google map from Fields till Friendship Hwy!!

And can you tell me in witch part of Perimeter the action is to find, close to witch hotel (s) ?[/QUOTE]Every couple of years I take an afternoon walk along Perimeter Road from the jeepney terminal to Friendship Road which is the main retail thoroughfare in Korea Town. Kinda get the lay of the land. The walk is maybe two miles and in the absence of much to do in AC during the daytime, it is a good way to kill some time. But for security reasons it may not be safe to do this late at night.

You will encounter maybe 20 bars or more and maybe a few less massage parlors and many will be open for business. Even though Perimeter prices are lower and some may argue so is the quality, you should nonetheless find a few pretty girls in each bar.

Some perimeter bars, like Garfield's will cater to the retirees in AC who wile away their afternoons and the remainder of their lives buying bargirls lady drinks in exchange for their company (while some others become ISG fiends and patrol this forum searching for any opportunity to flame and be sarcastic to those with bona fide inquiries.) These girls have found a living doing this but perhaps some will accept a discrete offer for a frolic playing the bedspring squeak if asked by the right salesman.

On one such walk that I took along Perimeter Road, I stopped into a massage parlor only to find the place deserted except for a lone masseuse, a SYT. I told her I was pressed for time but that I would give her 200 pesos if I could have fun with her tits for a while. (Imagine asking the same thing of a cute 18 year old retail clerk in your town!) She took me to a secluded nook where she removed her top and bra and introduced me to her two playful friends. I was short of time so after a while I left but the fantasy had been planted and I gave it some time to incubate.

After a while I returned when I had more opportunity and took her back to my hotel room. We had a long foreplay. I took my time with her. Then I gave her a proper fucking. The fantasy that I had nurtured over several days became real time. It was a powerful experience.

Once on one of my forays I stayed at the Maharaja Hotel. A couple of bars are nearby. I haven't been able to teach my dick how to plug more than one orifice at a time so more than one is surfeit. Thus these two bars reasonably should keep you occupied for a little while. Yet that area is a little remote and you cannot claim bragging rights to be in the thick of things by staying there long term.

At the end of your walk along the Perimeter when you reach Friendship Road you will be in Korea Town. Perhaps by that time you will have acquired a female companion or two. Do feast at one of the Korean samgyupsal all-you-can-eat restaurants. It is one the best deals in town. Lots of luck and tell us something new that you have discovered.

Sir Sxxxx.

Yes sir, if your still in town this coming weekend let's meet up for a cold one!

[QUOTE=DelBosque;2096784]I go too AC very soon for the first time and need some info:

* on Google map I find the famous 'Field' street, is this the same as the called 'Walking' street?

* I reed also about the area 'Perimeter' ! I can't find it. Can someone give me an indication (nearby hotel, .).

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Google Wayne AC map gives you all details about everything you will need to get around here.

Let's all play nice now. Christmas season is upon us in Philippines.

Great post Pompetus. Upon your recommendation I did the walk from the Wild Orchid to Koreatown this afternoon. Finally know what the infamous Koreatown is. Enjoyed all the landmarks along the way and got some exercise. For years my walking here consisted of going to SM Mall which is hardly any exercise. Appreciate any other recommendations on other monger walking tours of AC.

V / are.

Can anyone shed some light on the situation currently? Is it being strictly enforced or are they starting to let it slide? From a post I read a while back it sounded like you couldn't even light up at Kokomos and watch the action on the street. Is this an Angeles city ban or nationwide IE. Does it affect Subic too? Thanks for any answers.

[QUOTE=Dg8787;2097515]It is a matter of class. I expect Sxxxx to be a classy Aussie about it. I believe it is an American slur and generational. My younger nephews have many Filipino friends and have never heard of the slur.[/QUOTE]IMHO, I differ on the first two points; a retraction at least would have been offered.

As for the second and third, I have heard that term used by people from down under and among working girls from various regions on this side of the planet. I play bball in US public inner city parks at various times. I would never use some of the "terms of endearment", out of respect and if I wanted to walk out alive. But that is just me. Now back to prepping for my next Makiti trip.

Minor observation from a short visit. I ate dinner on the 50-yard line at Kokomos last night and no one was smoking. I do see guys smoking in High Society and most of the larger bars tolerate smoking on the upper decks.

[/QUOTE]Still did not get a chance to write my reports from last month, but this is part of it. I think it is strictly enforced. Unlike Waffles, I did not see anyone smoking in High Society. When I was hanging out in Club Ra (or whatever the name of that Egyptian place is), I kept seeing people go into the stairwell. I finally asked the waitress that was sitting with me why everyone keeps going in there. She said they are going in there to smoke.

Southeaster.[/QUOTE]People that flaunt the rules tend to go with e-cigarettes. Most rules have not caught up with that type especially the smokeless variety. Seen usage in bars and on planes. Most just palm it so it is hidden.

Southeaster.[/QUOTE]Last two weeks spent my time in Angeles. Left A/C and Phils, last Sunday morning.

I wrote about this subject somewhere on ISG before. Can't find that post. Here we go again.

In my opinion, they are strictly enforcing the smoking ban. Although some bars are tolerating customers smoking in the bar toilets, and yes bigger bars send their smoking customers upstairs, where on both occasions I was present when that happened, the customer could not see the girls from the non smoking area. One lot quickly returned from upstairs. Not prepared to stare at a wall whilst smoking, I suppose. Perhaps they could have large tv screens in the non smoking rooms / areas, channeled to the bar stage. Guys perv on screen whilst guzzling down some toxins?

I think an enlarged print of a sign I once saw in Cebu, would be appropriate: "Smoking. You can breathe in, but not out".

In my previous post I mentioned an idea might take hold, whereby bars can buy an exemption from the no smoking law. More revenue for the government, more customers for the bars? And more lung cancer, LOL.

Kokomo's, British owned, sticks strictly to the new no smoking law. Little signs all along the front row bar re "no smoking". No one smokes at Kokomo's.

Non smokers like me, are happy about "no smoking", but there are a lot of people who are upset with the move. I think 'no smoking' and shooting of Marijuana smokers has prevented significant numbers from visiting the Philippines, right now.

P.S: Yes, its definitely national. Not specific to Angeles, applies everywhere in Phils, including the toilets.

PPS: Now that I have left the Phils, bet the girls are missing me!

Personally I am really glad about the smoking ban being enforced and that it has enough teeth in it to keep it enforced.

Now I can go to bars and stay longer and listen to music or play a game of pool. I doubt if the ban will keep smokers from coming, if so it is easily made up with non-smokers.

Non-smokers come on down. Restaurants are all non-smoking too. The non-smoking bars girls don't smell like smoke and aren't short of breath when having the big O!

Southeaster.[/QUOTE]This is an Executive Order from DU30, so is nationwide. Olongapo City (covers Barretto and Baloy Beach) have gone further and smoking in the street is now banned, even in the bus station standing next to an exhaust pumping out diesel fumes. I have read in the press that this is illegal, being in excess of the EO, but I have no confidence in much of the press and wouldn't want.

To be the precedent. Several bars in Barretto allow smoking sitting against an open wall, like the front row in Kokomos. Technically, those bars with seating out front are probably illegal as they are within 10 metres of the entrance to a banned area. The pictured poster does not tell the whole story, as neither of my hotels last month banned smoking in the room.

[QUOTE=Sxxxx;2098057]Last two weeks spent my time in Angeles. Left A/C and Phils, last Sunday morning.[/QUOTE]Leaving so soon and in such a hurry? JazzyDaddy was looking to share a stubbie with you, or something like that.

IMHO, on the subject of smoking, like an addict, they will try to get around the rules. When smoking was first banned on some flights, I still remember a French speaking man quickly exiting a toilet with the alarm blaring midflight. Last month on United, a guy in first class was palming and pulling on his e cigarette the whole flight to South America, right in front of a clueless flight attendant. (But then, they were not hired for their brains; nor looks) Guy's english was quite good so could have been an American, an Expat, or a well to do South American.

When I looked online to see if vaporless e cigs exists before my last post here, I found that it does. But as Sxxxx suggests, it entails holding the pull before exhaling. From what I read, the second hand smoke from e cigs are actually worse. So even if you don't see or smell it, you could be breathing it in from the guy sitting next to you that keeps putting his cupped hand to his mouth.

Until the threatened in room smoking and other smoking fines start getting imposed, it will be an uphill battle. Surprise and well announced raids have done a great job in many places around asia.

Just my 2 cents.
