[QUOTE=Skip Kost; 1358669]Do you mean Buendia Station on the Philippine National Railway line? I was unaware the PNR now has reliable service. I read that they recently began offering service again southward toward Laguna Province, whereas the northward tracks have been torn up by the time you get to Caloocan City. But I thought even the southward service amounts to a couple trains a day in each direction, and doesn't intend to compete with the LRT and MRT.

The closest light rail service would be to Gil Puyat station on LRT 1-and then taxi ride Eastward along Gil Puyat Avenue, or Magallanes Station on the MRT-and then taxi ride North on Chino Roces. Do not count on light rail at night, however, as the last trains leave the first stations at each end about 10 pm.[/QUOTE]Correct, it is the PNR station. Can't speak to the reliability of service, but I've become accustomed to unreliable service. The LRT station is at Taft Ave, approx. 10 minutes west. I usually bus or jeep it. One can catch a jeep from Magallanes MRT to the corner of Buendia and Pasong Tamo (Chino Roces, but look for Pasong Tamo printed on the jeep) and then walk it or catch a jeep at the Petron station and exit at the highway for a shorter walk. Indeed you're correct about the early finish of both the LRT and MRT. Of course by 10 PM much of rush hour (s) traffic has diminished and taxi is the best way to travel.

[QUOTE=Nomis;1347558]The casa ("house") places in the phils are great for anyone that do not want to deal with the bar scene. To me, it was always the most economical experience. Since I'm a pinoy,[/QUOTE]Nomis these women must be really freakin hot! I have gotten GFE just by lying and saying I will be BFE- at a quarter the price. But I can only imagine the difference having never been. Is it like the women in Subic bars vs the women in the SB Freeport bars? The Freeport chicks go for abt 5k and there is a very noticable difference in quality.

You really have to wonder about some people.

Fancy carrying 65K around in Burgos Street?

Saudi is a cash society and many use cash not credit card. So for him that is not unusual but he forgets where he is and that causes the trouble.

I was once given $40000 in cash to take to the USA by a Saudi who I was working for. He preferred cash and did not have any account I could draw the cash from. Bizarre but true. My office in the USA had a wobbly when I told them I was carrying that in my briefcase LOL.

It also shows some Saudis have too much cash as that was likely a daily spending limit if my Saudi friends are to be believed!

When I smoked I used to buy cigs at a box store. Costco. I hated getting in line behind one of the many Indian gas station owners. I once saw a guy count out 50K in hundreds. I asked the cashier when it was my turn. He said that was nothing and he'd seen larger purchases than that. Cigs by us are 8+USD, in the city as much as 12.

I live in the US so it's relatively safe as long as you stay away from politicians.

If the "we always carry cash and large wads of it" becomes common knowledge among the lads that hang around street corners in Makati and Malate then no person who looks middle eastern or is assumed to be from Saudi will be safe.

[QUOTE=Simian; 1352561]Most of the information you supply is well known, that there are Casas in Manila and Makati in particular. But although you tell us the names of two casas (which are very high priced, I have to say. Up to 5k ST!) , you don't tell us where they are apart from to brag that you know where they are and can tell the taxi where they are etc etc etc.[/QUOTE]The alternative is just to get in a taxi and ask the driver. Tell him you went to a casa last night but were drunk and can't remember the name. Lead the driver in a conversation and tell him to go to nearest one. There are many and he will always know the one that takes foreigners and more importantly, that gives him a good commission. Tell him you will pick up a girl that you know he gets a good kickback so he should take you back to your place for free.

Even sexually and how they treat the cuties does not change for some (you posted the link on the massage lady and the Saudi earlier). This is not news to those who live in the Mdle East am just surprised it does not happen more often.

Fortunately am poor so I can never can carry large wads of cash

He had it all in one of those clutch carry bags, and he left the bag on the seat in the lobby.

As WR says, these Saudi guys are so accustomed to carrying cash around with them that they cease to be concerned about it.

It is just he has lost 'face' with his mates etc and can't tell his wife where / how he lost the cash. That is more hids concern as the Saudis are another group who IMHO are overpayers but then any girls who goes with them better be careful as they have a bed repuation mainly in the Middle East

[QUOTE=Cool Traveler;1374189]Where would you put 65K? All four pockets?[/QUOTE]Plus the other other available " opening". Saudis are real bum bandits, given the lack of available puss in their shithole of a country.

I once got followed by 4 saudis in a car in Riyadh and it wasnt because my suit was well cut.

Strange Saudi logic. Foreigner is rear ended at a traffic light in Saudi.

Case goes to court. Foreigner is told, its your fault pay the fine.

Non Saudi says "why"

Judge says " if you werent in my country there would have been no accident "

Saudi." its less less much less fun in Saudi."

"they have a bed reputation. ." hahaha.n(actually, you had a 2nd typo of repuation but that's not what's funny)

I thought you were the one with the "bed reputation".

Had a great time here. Stardust is my favorite. Very reasonable bar fine. Very reasonable girl cost. Mamas are all playful. They have a great show every other hour. Fun place.

I pulled two girls. One for two nights (Lhatz) and one for a night. (Theresa.) Lhatz is a total blast if you get her comfortable. She agreed to stay until 6 but didn't leave until way after breakfast. Almost noon. As I said before you will get great service if you treat them with respect and have fun with them. Make them smile. Theresa was 80 lbs of FUN. See pic in pic forum.

I tried a few other bars like Bottoms and Rogue but they were asking the kind of money you pay at home. Between the bar fine and girl tip at Bottoms it would be 175 USD. Nice girls but not that nice.

There are girls available off the street and many massage girls. I had a great rub with by ending from a 30 something nice looker. In my hotel. 1000 for an hour and one of the greatest bjs I've had in a long time. Turned her on to Bob and he loved it.

Went to Cafe Havana and at 11 there was a lot of talent there was also a lot of LB, I was actually talking to one of the most stunning girls there and my buddy that lives here walks up and says "lady boy!" Holy shit. He was stunning.

I love the women in this country. The lady boys are pretty hot too. LOL.

Off to Vietnam.

Who me? Am an innocent led astray as we all are RK.

Typos come from a long night of no sleep in sex prison. You work that one out LOL.

But IMHO some of the girls I know will never go with Arabs and others need to be educated as there have been some bad stories in this region etc Yes they throw money at you but there is a price to pay for it I hear of plenty of examples
