AC to Ermita on Fly the Bus in March.
I used Swagman Fly the Bus (usually a van) to Ermita with an 8 am departure. The hotel staff seemed wary of F the Bus. It seems that on at least one occasion they didn't make a pickup.
In the end there were only two passengers. Traffic wasn't too bad and it took about two hours. Killed time by having lunch at the Swag restauarant. Swagman Hotel seems to have been renovated. But waitress was a bit dull. Also a group of Filipinos with a bucket of beer at 10 am – noisy of course.
About 11 am got a taxi (easily) and was in the airport by 11:45. Paid 200 P. Driver was good and traffic wasn't bad. Skyway appears to be finished. At the gates by 11:20. That left me with 2+ hours to kill. Better safe than sorry.
There is hope in Erections.
[QUOTE=XMan;2166191] ...............................1991? Can anyone explain the thinking behind the new name, 1991, for a bar that was called Eruptions. Inside, everything looks the same. It's a pretty bleak place.[/QUOTE]Last time I was in Eruptions, I suggested they rename the place to: Erections.
1991 won't do anything for them, Erections might.

You can scratch Thai off this list. I have never been married to one, but I have had many a horny one over 40. I have one right now that is 48 and hot hot hot. Funny that it seems like most of them are teachers.[/QUOTE]Firstly, you need to exclude all the statistical outliers. They mean nothing and distort the facts.
If you read my reports, I was specifically referring to Asian women married to men from their own ethnic backgrounds. I said they stop having sex after 40 with their husbands because they're more interested in children, family, religion, social status etc. Also, when the children are growing up in a cramped Asian house, it is always not conducive for a woman to have sexual relations so openly. I was not referring to prostitutes, girls on dating sites or bored Asian housewives looking for an exciting fling with a foreigner.
We also discussed in previous posts the fact that many Asian men go and seek P4 P action because of the lack of sexual activity at home. We agreed that this is tolerated as long as the family is not embarrassed and the husband is discreet.
For those of you that have lived in Asia for any length of time, you will know what I'm talking about. There is enough empirical and anecdotal evidence around to suggest that middle aged Asian women switch off and sex with their husbands is not really important. I have found a couple of references which back up what I am saying, so it's not bola bola. It makes for good bedtime reading.

2. Wikipedia (2018) "In 2010, another survey published The Japanese Association for Sex Education Research Journal found that 40.8% (up from 34.6% in 2006) of marriages in Japan could be classified as "sexless", which the Japan Society of Sexual Sciences generally defines as "engaging in sex less than once a month, despite not suffering from any health-related conditions". Among the top reasons married couples cite for not having sex, is that after children are in the picture (couples are even discouraged from having intercourse while pregnant), sex can decrease markedly or even become nonexistent for a habit-forming period of time".
