Angeles City

[QUOTE=X Man]what is an FX van? Althought the price you mention sounds great, what about if you have a suitcase? I guess you should pay the Jeepney drivers a double fare. What is the fare?

swaggie.com does AC to Subic for 400 pesos.

X Man[/QUOTE]

The FX is usually a Toyota Van or similar, usually not bad at all, often even with working aircon. Big suitcases are not recommended, I usually bring a backpack that I can put in my lap if needed, but many times I've managed to secure the front passenger seat, being slightly bigger than the other pax lol. Fx has been as low as 70 Pesos but I think it was 90 last time after the fuel increases. Jeepney fare Dau to SM Pampanga is 20+ (23?) and the fare Olangapo to Subic is peanuts (9-9,50 P ?)

So what do we have?.. 90+23+9...yes total will maybe come in as low as 132 ..but don't be a CC..budget 150 to be on the safe side :D


In theory the Jeepney driver can ask you for double fare for a suitcase (specially if it occupies a seat), but in my exp. they are pretty cool about it. I can't recall ever having to pay extra, and I've even brought quite big ones to and from Clark.

400 P is not so bad if you'd rather avoid the "filipino travel experience". I might just try that some time for a change. The big advantage with FX is that you go anytime ( last FX leaves SM Pampanga around 8-9 PM ) no need to check schedules, book etc.

[QUOTE=Jimbo 69]Is it best to wait until I am there to get a hotel? I dont mind booking on line with a big hotel chain but not sure about these places. Also I would like one with a pool. I do like to spend my days in the sun somewhat. what are the best ones on Fields Avenue with a pool.[/QUOTE]
As mattrick says [url]www.pacificbreezehotel.com[/url] is ok, but 100 meters way from Fields.

You might have to book long time in advance. Big swimming pool. Nice Jacuzzi-rooms about 60 usd, hopefully does not come with this gf :)

.

My buddies and I are planning to head down to AC during the week of Good Fiday (aka Holy Week in AC). Will the scenes be subued?

Plus what is the best way to get to down to Manila to AC? Any mongers out there have recomenedations on where we can stay in Manila and hangouts there?

Many thanks

Got in at 7pm at clark airport, picked up by Hotel Hana car (the one-way pick-up was over-priced at 500P), had booked standard room, but looked nothing like photo I saw on internet. It was awful. Decided to leave, which they were ok about. Took a look at Premier hotel next door, which was almost as bad. Then entered Sunset Lodge, which was ok. All the budget rooms I’d seen in the perimeter area were around the 1300P mark, and this one was by far the best.

Went straight up to look at some BJ bars. I’d read here that if you buy 2 drinks in Illusions, you can get a free BJ. I asked the mamasan at the bar about this deal and she nearly died of shocked. She looked at me like I was a freak. I slinked out, tail between my legs, embarrassed. Then checked out Rio and Niftys. Both ok and fairly friendly. Enquired about a 500P BJ, but they were pretty much sticking to 600P. Moved on to Matrix Brawn, asked about BJ, and one OK girl (23 yrs old, 6.5/10) said 500P was ok. Proceeded to back room where she gave me decent BBBJCIM. On way out, saw a young (18-20 yr old) stunner (8.5/10). Damn, isn’t it always the way?

About an hour later, popped into Palace Massage on main road. 500P for 1 hour massage. Was ok quality, not brilliant. Wasn’t even after another shot when at end of massage, the woman said she wanted some “monkey business”. Being a little monkey myself, I agreed to a HJ, which cost me 200P. total: 700P.

Next day, moved into Fields. Booked into Central Park – excellent hotel all round, and for same price as aforementioned digs. Visited Santos St, checked out some BJ bars, Again, a few wanted 600P, but in Black Pearl, a few OK looking girls agreed to 500P. decided to take 2 at once (both 25 years old, one was 6/10, the other 7/10) … went out back. All good, they were friendly and attentive. Blew first time into 1st girl’s mouth as the 2nd girl was sucking my nipples. The 2nd time (about 40 mins later), wanked myself and blew over 2nd girl’s tits as 1st girl was sucking my balls. All up, 1000P.

Next day, walked around corner and found quiet street that had a load of girls in 2 adjoining bars. Again, price was quoted at 600P, but again, negotiated (in friendly manner, of course) down to 500P. got a manila girl (21 yrs old, 7.5/10) who did a pretty good job. And that’s about it – was only there for 2 nights.

Thanks for everyone’s tips before I arrived, it helped a lot.

In the short time i was in Angeles, almost every Filipino guy asked me to buy Viagra. Obviously, there is huge market for this. Talk about weird. How could anyone with half a brain buy medication anywhere other than a reputable health clinic/doctor? You may as well play Russian roulette for real. Incredibly risky and downright stupid.

Angeles is one ugly place. Why would expat men (wanting to live near cheap pussy) choose such a soulless place -- devoid of anything remotely interesting -- to buy a house or rent long-term there? Sure, the girls are great, but that’s it. And the food’s awful, too. That is, why angeles over phuket, samui, hua hin, pattaya, bali, or even nha trang in vietnam? When I wasn’t getting BJs, I was incredibly bored. No beach, no nice eateries, no parks, nothing.

No beach, no nice eateries, no parks, nothing.[/QUOTE]I won't say that I am the definitive expert on Angeles City, but I have visited countless times over many many years. I am always interested to read a first time visitor's account of their visit and any observations they have of this locale in general.

Nothing I am writing here is a flame, as I am in fact impressed by what you accomplished over two days - sounds like you had a wide range of experiences in such a short time.

A P500 taxi from Clark airport is more than I have ever heard of. Taxis outside the arrivals building will take you for P300. Even P200 to some hotels on Perimeter (eg America Hotel). One of the cleanest hotels that I have seen is the 'Perimeter Hotel' next to Emotions. The rooms there are P1200 and are cheaper if you book for a week or more. Its walking distance to Field Ave and there are a number of bars on the way there.

You are right, Illusions doesnt offer 'on-site relief' and Nifty's is renowned for doing this. Its one of the favourite afternoon bars before starting a barhop. If you buy 3 LDs, they will give you a sample BJ, or if you really hit it off with a girl in there, she might try it on you in your seat for less. P600 is steep, as you can take a girl to your hotel ST for P700. LT is P1000.

If you saw an 8.5 stunner in Matrix Brawn then consider yourself lucky! That is an extremely rare sighting for that bar, which I am yet to barfine a girl from (actually I never last more than 1 beer in there, although some guys like the tiny bar and the girls there).

P500 for a 1 hour massage is too expensive for my AC taste - there are cheaper options for P350 (eg Bodybliss near Norma's money changer). The P200 HJ is ok (although it should be included in the P500 price IMO).

Luck seems to have been on your side again, as Central Park Hotel is always fully booked. Most guests have to book weeks or even months in advance. I have never found a room there after walking in off the street!

The 'quiet street' you mentioned is just past Wild Orchid Hotel, a safe option during the day, but somewhere I never venture at night. There are always some very undesirable people hanging around there which makes me feel like they are waiting to jump you. People have been robbed there from time to time.

With regards to the Viagra/Cialis they sell there, yes it is all fake. I dont think it is dangerous to take as there are probably very few active chemicals in each tablet, but it will have little to no effect, wasting your time, expectations and money.

What I liked the best from your report is the last paragraph that I quoted from you. Yes Angeles is a dirty-dustbowl with filth everywhere. Most mongers just accept this like some other places in Asia (but not many places are as bad as AC!). This question you pose is very insightful: "Why would expat men (wanting to live near cheap pussy) choose such a soulless place -- devoid of anything remotely interesting -- to buy a house or rent long-term there?". If you posted this on a major AC discussion board it would probably invoke a record number of responses as so many members actually do live in AC! That question posed here is much safer due to the fact that most ISG members do not live in AC. It is a question that is asked many times but rarely gets truthfully answered by expat residents of AC. I have my own opinion of the truth but can't post it here as it could be considered inflammatory. Let's just say that some people are happy living there because that is what they are used to. Ok I know this is not the real reason, but it answers your question in part.

Take care and I hope you return to AC again one day.

The tune is getting softer here and the gals are feeling the downward swing.The amount of cash is going south and the amount of customers in the bars at night is lover now than a month ago.I am sure this will help in the attatude dept for the guys that are still here.Five or six guys in a bar with fifety plus girls is not a mix for a good night at work.The staff is sitting half sleeping and the girls are getting slower and slower.The managers want to give the guys deals on ringing the bell so the numbers on sales stay up.

I on the other hand often get 20-p notes a thousand at a time and throw up to the dancers.The gals love this and the bar hates it I am quite sure.The big reason the bar gets no cut of the cash as when you buy ladies drinks.I feel the bars get enough and why not give the hard working little honeys some hard earned jack at face value.After all if a thousand pesos is big loot for a guy I am sure he has been here to long.On the downside be ready to be an unknown to the gals once the cash stops flying through the air.This is just the way it is they get and forget just that fast.Please dont get upset thats the way it is.

Please remember that the season is on the downside so better deals are on the way.The beauty you could never have is getting short on rice at home so just wait.

KL:

Excellent, with this program you hit the spot! BTW, the favorite places of brother Ekspat and me! :)

Any of the hotels in AC will have a driver and you can hire them. You can of course take the bus and there are a few other ways down there. Personally, I feel safest with the hotel driver. I would not want to get on a bus full of strangers in a third world country with all my belongings.

As for hotels in Manila, it depends upon how much you want to spend.

Lotus Garden Hotel
[url]http://www.citygardenhotels.com/[/url]
Right across from LA Cafe which has all the freelancers. LA Cafe is a disco like place and you pick up the ladies inside. For safety, walk out of the disco alone once you select one and tell the ladies to come over to the hotel. The reason is that the police might stop you and you might have to pay a bribe. This is a cheap no-frills hotel, but all you need is a room, bed and the chick.

Oxford Suites Makati

Very nice but expensive.

Iseya Hotel

Cheap no frills place, one block away from LA Cafe. Australian owned. About 25 bucks a night.

When in doubt, just describe your situation to the taxi driver and tell him where you want to go.

Hello All

I will be flying from AC to Bangkok next month. I've been in contact with a travel agent in AC. She tells me I can take Tiger Air from Clark to Bkk but I have to stay over night in Singapore. I looked on Air Asia's site and they seem to have same day flights from AC to KL and KL to Bkk with no need of overnight stay. But my travel agent did not mention this option. Has anyone here flown from AC to Bkk on Asia Air through KL? Can this be done without an overnight stay?

Virtually all "V" sold in Fields is fake, but most of them do contain the right stuff, more or less. Caveat emptor.

Many "botikas" (quasi-pharmacies) and similar stores will also stock fake V. I'd prefer real Kamagra over fake V but since it's not BFAD listed they may intervene if a shop sells real Kamagra, but let the fake V's slip since it's "listed". TIP LOL.

Hey everyone,

I am a long time reader as well as user of the information shared on this board, and have just signed up to the board, hopefully getting fully activated here to receive PM's within 24 hour's or so.

Back to my point, I am going to be in AC on the 14th of March till the 27th and was wondering if anyone wated to get together. Ill be travelling solo and staying at the Wild Orchid.

I look forward to meeting some of you.

Is there any good italian restaurant?

Something like Saks inside Grande Majestic Hotel in Bangkok.

Is there any good indian restaurant?

Something like Rang Mahal inside Rembrandt Hotel in Bangkok.

I wonder if I am asking too much.
