Angeles City

[QUOTE=RCA Knight]... if there is a currency exchange in this tiny airport? I guess need to change some money for transport to Fields and also pay first night hotel.And also what kind of transport they have from Clark to Fields Ave? Is it quite far?thanks.[/QUOTE]
- Yes, there's a currency exchange desk at the Airport
- If I remember correctly the taxi to Fields is about P300/400
- It's just a short ride (abt. 15 minutes)
If you're strapped for cash, and travelling light, you can walk to the entrance gate where you can grab a jeepney to SM Mall.

[QUOTE=RCA Knight]A few basic questions about Clark Airport. I am taking a few days off from work to visit Angeles sometime in July. It will be my first trip there in 3.5 years, I heard lots have changed.

Will be flying Cebu Pacific from Macao and land in Clark. My first landing in Clark. I would like to know if there is a currency exchange in this tiny airport? I guess need to change some money for transport to Fields and also pay first night hotel.

And also what kind of transport they have from Clark to Fields Ave? Is it quite far?

Thanks[/QUOTE]

I have arranged my transport when making the hotel reservation. it costs 300-400p and is charged in your hotel bill. Then I have asked the driver to take me first to SM Mall prior going to hotel. Using Jeepney with luggage would be unconvienent and there would be a risk of pickpocketing.

[QUOTE=Thatguy865]That luxury condo has been going up for almost 2 years now. The one next to the swiss chalet is smaller and has not sold out. Most of the condo's never fill up or even get built.

Who will pay huge prices to have an apartment on a hoe strip, especially the street known as BLOW ROAD. No one with a wife. Even a girlfriend. Would you want every time she steps out the door every guy naturally is going to thinking she is a bar girl and fair game. You definitely wouldn't want kids growing up in that area. Blow road no less.

I remember a guy asking would I be interested in buying a condo in Angeles I looked at his ass like he was a calculus math problem.

I like to visit the zoo but I would not want to live there.

[QUOTE=Vibrations]Hi guys,

Sorry to ask this stupid question (to some).

I was with this chick and we were doing the deed. I lasted 3 times in the afternoon. 1pm. 5pm or so. She was saying some can go for 6-7 times! I find it hard to believe as after 3 times. What actually comes out? : P

I heard of this guy that went for too many till blood oozed out. How true is anyones guess.

So bros. Has anyone 'came' 4-5 times? In a afternoon or a day or so? Please do share mates.[/QUOTE]That sounds normal.

When I was young (35) and "in love" I came 13 times one a weekend.

I tied that record with a different woman when I was 39, but couldn't break it.

Now that I am in my 50's it seems highly dubious I could repeat that performance. But if I ever fall in love again, I'll let you know.

Thanks[/QUOTE]You'll get a better exchange rate if you just make a withdrawal from the ATM in the airport, and won't have to travel carrying a lot of cash.

It is a quick trip to Fields St.

The taxi driver asked me for 350 pesos, but I told him that I knew it was 300 and he quickly agreed. Don't pay more.

Also, the tryke drivers will try to rip you off by asking for 100 pesos to take you on a short trip to the mall or the perimeter clubs. However, the city has a published fare schedule and the trykers can be fined 1000 pesos or more for trying to rip you off.

Print this off and keep it handy. Even if it is too small to read, it shows them you know the score and you should get the legal rate.

[i]"A minimum fare was pegged at P20 for the first kilometer (km) and additional P5 per succeeding km. For special trip across zones, a minimum fare shall be P20 for the first km and additional P20 for the second km and P10 for the third and succeeding kms. The ordinance states that students, disabled persons and senior citizens shall be charged a discounted rate of P15 minimum fare and additional P2 per succeeding kilometer.

Drivers and operators are also required to post fare matrix inside their respective tricycles. They are also asked to accept all passengers irrespective of gender, status, age or physical condition. A driver or operator caught violating any provision of the ordinance will be penalized, Nepomuceno said.

For the first offense, a fine of P1,000 or an imprisonment of one month will be imposed. For the second offense it would be P2,000 or two months imprisonment. And for the third offense, P3,000 fine and six months imprisonment and cancellation of Motorized Tricycle Operators Permit (MTOP)."[/i]

It all depends on who you are with and if she has technique! If she knows what she is doing and turns me on, I'll pop 7/8/9 times in a 24 hour period.
I had a gal that just turned me on to no end and I couldn't stop. Nor could she. I'm sound asleep and she's sucking me off! In the shower and she'll do it again. And I've been with women where I could not even get it up because they had no technique.
No sense being with someone if she is a dud. Goes both ways also, many guys think they are God's gift to women when they have no idea they are not!

DB:

this fare matrix for trikes is quite interesting! I did not even know that it exists! Indeed I will print it and next time when I negotiate the price I will show it to the driver. But honestly said I would rather doubt that these crooks adhere to this directive. Let's see!

Cheers!

A loooong time ago, I had three pops with three Olongapo sx workers within a ten hour period. Back in the US (not Detroit) my friends just laughed at me -- "full of bullshit." They would have said the same thing if I had predicted that twenty years hence they'd be married to obese, chain smoking, bleached blondes with body odor. :-)

Although very rare as I near the half century mark, I recently had three pops within a 14 hour period -- although it was with one woman and I had a bit of help from Cialis. Despite the chemical help, I couldn't have done it without the gal...bless her heart. I love it when they wake me up in the middle of the night!

But, if you're still reading, my advice to older guys is forget about the so-called "pop". It's overrated! Grease your crank for a while and then ask for a rest. Then you can start all over again...and again.

Thanks Bulldog, Never heard that before and never noticed any fare schedule inside the trike. I guess I was distracted somehow....

I usally paid 50 to America Hotel, but 70 out to Mirrors (forgot the name of the hotel). Of course the trikers always ask for more.

If I'm headed to Perimeter I suggest 50 before I even get into the trike. Some quickly agree and some want to negotiate.

What is the jeepney fare these days? I once got into a jeepney way out from Fields and the guy stopped at the next intersection with the hope that the few people walking toward him might board. This can be an extroardinary waste of time. I offerred a 30 peso tip and somehow things sped up considerably.

[QUOTE=X Man]What is the jeepney fare these days?[/QUOTE]On the Checkpoint-Friendship route, P7. It came down when fuel prices fell, unlike trike fares which only seem to go up -- many drivers now insist on P70 minimum. Anywhere else in the country it'd be more like P20.

Betong:

I am sure that these crooks insist only if they deal with stupid foreigners like us! You bet your life, locals get it cheaper!

Cheers!

Wonder how much it cost these trike drivers to buy their concession. I suspect a fair whack so there must be some very wealthy and corrupt people raking it in slightly up the pecking chain.

I live in a sub-subdivision of the largest subdivision in Manila (if you can understand that nonsense:)!), and I can travel anywhere within its extensive area (bigger than AC) by trike for between 10 -35 pesos.

The jeepneys costs 7p for short distances I have been using them.

If you are going a long distance and don't want to be crowded on a jeepney you can pay about 100 pesos for the entire jeepney. They will charge you for all the seats which is like 12 people. I have done this several times with friends to go downtown to avoid riding with pick pockets. Or if you don't want do that, it best to get in the front seat where you don't have to worry about sqeezing in the back with possible pick pockets.
