Sailor Jack has no real read on if this will really happen.

It seems unlikely that the forces that control the bars will agree to this plan.

Photo; SJ Archives[/QUOTE]These types of press announcements for fake infrastructure projects. From alfresco dining strips to new airports to wind farms are very common in corrupt shit hole countries. They are announced so that they can get free project development money from the central governments, foreign donors and NGOs. The money then quickly vanishes into various overseas bank accounts belonging to the usual suspects. India does this type of fake infrastructure announcement on a grand scale. Foreign engineering consulting firms and construction companies will pay bribes to position themselves for projects that will never get off the ground. After 5 years of toil, the project will get cancelled as the local authorities never had any intention of building the infrastructure in the first place.

In the case of Walking Street, the Korean mafia dons will need to bless any new development. I don't think that's going to happen.

[QUOTE=AsianPursuits;2762403]Good to see finds time to keep SJ his finger on current affairs in addition to bar room affairs. Busy fingers in deed.

In my short AC Walking Street history..[/QUOTE]A few years back Sailor Jack was riding his bicycle out around the Clarke area where the exhaust fumes are not so bad. Sailor Jack stopped by a field of strange looking plants. The field was about the size of a football pitch. The plants were being cared for but the plants were clearly not doing so well in the Philippines climate. There was an elegant sign that read something like; "Philippines / XXXXXX XXXXXX XX XXXXXXX Joint Jatropha International Global Warming Blah Blah Blah Project".

Sailor Jack thought about it for a moment. Then Sailor Jack got it! This sorry ass field of wilted Jatropha was the result of millions of dollars some other country's (guess who!) money poured down the endless sewer drain of Philippines corruption.

A paraphrased quote from Brother Berry; "Sometimes I think I am being too cynical. But here a high degree of cynicism is necessary."

Dearest AsianPursuits;.

Rest assured that SJ has his fingers on the local puwit, uh.....pulse.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2762287]Rent in London, Sydney, Paris, and LA is $2000. Rent in AC is $50. It is insane to travel somewhere and be happy to pay more than something costs on the basis that it costs less than somewhere else.[/QUOTE]If a monger is paying more than what the local trike drivers pay for a root, he is paying above fair market value and the LBFMs are scamming him.

Just imagine all the NGO training schools that can be set up to upskill Mary from sucking dick to cleaning CRs in a Michelin starred restaurant.

😋.[/QUOTE]She probably brought a couple of useful tubes, actually prefer those to the TVs with a more solid state.

Second night I took a shine to one of the dancers in Avalon, she was super cute and I really liked her personality, here the bar fine was 5 K peso which I am guessing was a special rate because she was part of the dance troop, would be interested to hear what others have to say on special rates for dancers.
[/QUOTE]I'm pretty sure it's not by dance group but woman specific.

[QUOTE=EngineDriver;2758929]When my grandad was a kid, he said a loaf of bread was 19 cents. Now it's $6. Insanity!

Seems like you're one of those old white guys that travels the world exploiting and fucking young, impoverished, uneducated girls for $20 all night, multiple shots on goal, and then complaining that it's still too expensive and you got ripped off. That's one level higher on the social ladder than rock spider.

All night with a hooker in London, Sydney, Paris or LA would be around $2,000+. So you really think $100 in AC is insane? It's inflation, not insanity. You can watch Trike Patrol from your basement for free, but then you need to still pay for internet.[/QUOTE]Paying $100 is insane if you are making $10.00 per hour. Then again you couldn't afford a plane ticket to AC.
