Angeles. First impressions.
After a couple of stays in Pattaya, and having heard a lot of the Pattaya vs Angeles controversy, I decided to see for myself and fly to Angeles.
Once again, this forum had a wealth of information to help me prepare my stay, but there is such a discrepancy between what Angeles-haters and Angeles-lovers are saying, that you feel sometimes like you are reading about 2 entirely different cities. I guess nothing can replace experience, not even the best meant report. So this is my experience so far.
After an oh-so-enjoyable 20 hours of flying and visiting duty free zones, I finally landed in Manilla airport. Going through security was very quick, I got money and a SIM card from the airport mall, and found my driver waiting for me, who informed me that Friday night was the worst time of the week for traffic, and that it would take 3 hours to get to Angeles. Great. I booked my Taxi with Beeway travel, for 2500. Car was very new and comfortable, and I have no complaint about the driving. I can recommend them. I had previously tried to book a car with my hotel, but they asked me for my credit card details to secure the booking. Sending my cards security details, by email, and to hotel staff in the Philippines? Yeah, right, that's going to happen.
3 hours later indeed, I was in my room at the Royal Amsterdam. I have to say I'm pleased with it. Rooms are very quiet, which is really nice as it is in on Walking street.
I was really tired, but having longed for that trip for many months, I couldn't just turn in, so I push myself out of the door and into walking street. Very soon it became clear that some warnings I heard were exaggerated. About Street vendors: they are plentiful indeed, but not that much of an annoyance. If you say no thanks and keep walking, they do not bother you. About Koreans: they are many indeed, but I really didn't get the feeling the place had been overtaken by them. Many westerners are to be seen, and pretty girls can be spotted alongside them.
I started of by club Atlantis. I soon had a pretty girl sitting near me. I enquired about the barfine and was told 3,500. From the girl I was told she only gets to keep 1,500, with 2,000 going to the bar. Also they only have double ladies drink, which is not great. But the show was all right, and the line up was good. I might come back and get her. Next I went next door, to Centauro, in and out. Nothing to keep me there. Barfine was 3,000. Went across the street at Red, where there was no line up to be seen. It had been depleted earlier in the evening. So I crossed again the street and went into Doll house. This is a massive place, and I had heard a lot about it, so I was sorry to see one of the worse line up I have ever seen in a gogo. Belly fat was on display everywhere. It's hard to imagine how bar girls, on their feet all day, and exercising in the sheets all night, can manage to have so un-toned bodies. It must come from a very thorough commitment to eating junk food.
Next and last for the night was Lollipop. This is actually the first club where some fun could really be felt in the atmosphere. Girls were playful and engaging, more "hands-on" than elsewhere, and barfine was only 2,500. I took one of their girl for the nigh, and she really delivered. Horny, and eager to please, I have no complaints. I will keep her on my list for the rest of my stay. Bareback was on the table however, which I don't see as a positive. I do get attached to girls I have a good time with, and it's depressing to think they will most likely not live old doing this. Their risks are obviously much higher than ours as they do it days in days out, and they don't get our health system.
Anyway she was a pleasure to be with, and definitely not a runner. She would have stayed longer the next morning, but I sent her away after a good rump and a 300 p tip, as I wanted to explore a bit more.
I had lunch at Kokomo, which is indeed a great people watching place, and decided to go to the Saturday Scorebird pool party. I was there at the beginning, which is to say far too early, as nothing interesting happens before 3:30.500 p is a bit pricey for the event in my view, especially if you to not wish to eat at the buffet that is included, but you can drink that 500 p equivalent. The beads to send to the girl are big business, and you do get pestered every 5 minutes to buy more to throw and elect your favorite. Some people to get a little crazy and buy the beads by the boatload. The auctioning of the girl to join you for a ladies drink is something to witness as well, as some favourites attract competitive bidder that will offer, to me bewildered eyes, as much as 20 ladies drink to get them to come sit with them. That's 4,000 p! Think of what can be fucked for that price.
After 3 hours I had seen enough, and I decided to make my way to perimeter. I walked there, despite some warnings heard on the forum, and I have to say I did not find the walk intimidating. I'm sure it is a very different matter at night, but my feeling is that for a street conscious person walking in the day time, it is not a specially dangerous walk. They are people everywhere, minding there own business, hotels, or clubs, or eateries regularly, and quite a few foreigner passing by.
My first perimeter bar was Star. Barfine there is 2,250, which seems a bit much for the place. Set-up is not excellent as it is very narrow, and the girl are all a meter away from you. Which about 20 girls and 3 pointers, that is to say the pressure to buy one a lady's drink is intense, and the staring permanent. It was not that comfortable and I left. I then walked into Det 5. Very good line up, with many hot girls. I really liked one of the door girl. I bought her a LD, and she was nice and playful enough in the bar. A 2,500 barfine and 100 p trike later, she was at my hotel, and the first bad experience of that stay was about to begin. She started it of by asking for the light off, which I informed her was not happening. She was then very unresponsive to DATY, staring into space, so I stopped. She then proceeded by informing me that she hated blowjob (which is not quite what she said in the bar when I mentioned blowjob, although I now realise she did not give me a straight answer. I put it down to the English, I should have know better). I still asked her to deliver on it, which she reluctantly did, but she kept it under the minute, turning her head away, and manage to sucked the fun out of it (I guess it means at least one thing was sucked properly.) We then had sex, and it wasn't really bad, and also wasn't really good, which not a lot of kissing and enthusiasm. I had originally negotiated for 2 pops, but let her go after one. Getting value for my money is important to me, but getting value for my pop really is more. In all fairness she is a very sweet girl, and did seem to feel bad I had not had a better experience. Felt like a girl thrown into the bar scene before she had a chance to come to understand her own sexuality. So I felt sorry for her, and also sorry for me. She did not ask to a tip, which would not have been forthcoming.
So it has been hit and miss so far.
