Angeles City

thanks acfreddie for the great report about the pool party at the lgh. i really regret that i have missed this one. but i just couldn't make it.

i will be in town on september 20 and will have a look at the pool party at kokomo's. though i agree with ekspat's comment that the food is not worth talking about - if the pool party is the same, i can leave again. the 400 p fee is not the world. in any case, if i can make it there, i will report.

wonderer


[quote=acfreddie]here is my review of the "tanks" lewis grand pool party. it was called "tanks" pool party because the guy board name (on a different board) is smctanks) and he was the one who paid for the pool party.

the pool party started at about 1:45pm (scheduled for 2pm start) and lasted well past the advertised ending time of 5pm. in total there were roughly 90+ girls at the party (sorry it was way to hard to get an accurate count as the pool area is very large at the resort and they (the girls) were all rep001tered about all over the area (the objective, as it was explained to me, was to break the ac record of 119 girls at a single pool party)....[/quote]

i would assume posting the g-rated pictures would be okay. after all, your report has already given more than enough information for authorities to start playing their games.

thanks for the report -- sounds like fun. x

there were girls from something like 8 or 10 different bars. some girls were much better than others, as far as interaction and fun factor goes.
there were about 60 to 70 guys in attendance, so the girls to guys ratio certainly favored the guys.
there were games for the girls to participate in, such as naked limbo and then a lesbian game. each of the games paid cash prizes, so all of the games were well participated in by the girls and the girls that did choose to participate did not disappoint the crowd that was there to watch the games.

it was imo, the best pool (or any) party of 2009 and was an old school ac type of party. for the most part, these parties have been dead the last 3 years or so, but it seems that they might be resurrected from the past/dead and brought back to ac on an occasional basis. this pool party rivaled those pool parties that were once held at the swagman back in the 90's and very early 2000's at kokomo's (when it was under the "mo" ownership and when the city was pro-bar and not like they are now).

pictures were allowed to be taken (of everything), but
at the request of the lewis grand everyone was asked not to post them anywhere as a safety precaution and to help ensure that future pool parties would still be able to happen, so that is why this report will not contain any pictures that i took during the party. i know that it sucks that pictures were asked not to be posted, but it would suck a lot more more for me and i am sure many members if pictures and video's were not allowed to be taken at all during these events. its a small concession that must be made to allow these types of parties to happen in ac given the political climate that the "new ac" has been and continues to experience.

party summary:

it was a great pool party, the best of the year and in recent memory. i will be certain to attend pool parties held here in the future and will also be recommending that friends and members attend them.[/quote]

If I had any I would share them, but for the most part I was busy in the pool with the girls (can't blame me for that right), so sadly I do not have any G rated pics to share. I will try to contact some friends who were there. but were pool shy and see if they have any pictures of the girls that I can post.

Slim[/QUOTE]I just finished reading the newsletter. Is it just me, or was "DEATH" the main theme in this month's newsletter? Sheesh!!!

I'm gonna be going for my first time to Angeles at the end of this month and I'm gradually losing a little nerve.

I mean, I've always tried to be a generally cautious person and I don't usually am not aggressive towards others, but that newsletter really sapped a bit of confidence from me. And then, in another part of the newsletter, it talks about some gang that murdered 38 (!) foreigners.

Is there something that I'm missing here? What I mean is, should I be that concerned?

Is there something that I'm missing here? What I mean is, should I be that concerned?[/QUOTE]I wouldn't be overly concerned. Use some common sense and there is a 99.99% chance that your biggest danger will be falling in love with a bargirl. That being said, bad things do happen everywhere in the world. Do they happen more often that in your city, most likely so but one of the lures of AC (other than the LBFM's) is the wild, wild west feel.

Brothers, I had a read of the latest edition of the mentioned newsletter and suddenly my desire to go to The Philippines (in particular Clarks and Fields Ave) for the first time is greatly reduced. Is it so violent and crime rate so high? I have been to Thailand and Indonesia where I walked alone along the streets at night and everything was ok (of course you stay out of dark alley).

Reading from the newsletter it would seem that robbery and bashing up of tourist is a free-for-all activity and the police are helpless to stop it!!!!

Brothers who are familiar with The Philippines P4P scene, please tell us that the situation is not as bad as what had been told in the articles published in the newsletter...... If it is so than I would rather stick with Thailand and Indonesia where the P4P scene is equally great and a man can walk down the street knowing that he is relatively safe as long as he takes the necessary precaution as he would if he is in his own home town.

Give me some assurance so that I will make my Cherry trip to The Philippines...

Cheers

Yep, the only sure thing in life is death and taxes.

No gang murdered 38 foreigners.

If you read the article properly, it says that so far this year, 38 foreigners were murdered in the Philippines. We know of at least 3 were in Angeles City. An American in March, a Malaysian in June and another American in August who was out for a fight. If it can be believed that DMIA handles say 200,000 international passengers in that period. Then....

OMG!!! that is 1.5 homicides per 100,000 visitors.

If that sounds risky, what can I say... cancel your flights and stay at home.

Rule of thumb something bad can happen to you anytime or anyplace if you run into the wrong dude or dudette.

PI is no more dangerous if not less dangerous than your typical poverty stricken area of any American (don’t know where you two are from) city. At the same time just use common sense.

Don’t wear expensive jewelry; don’t walk around with a lot of cash. Don’t even carry credit cards; about 10,000 Pesos should be enough for any evening in Angeles. Don’t fuck with the local guys in hostile manner and if they fuck with you just ignore and keep moving unless they decide to invade your personal space in a hostile manner.

Don’t walk around late at night; take Trikes when possible.
PS: On my first and last trip to Angeles I walked around late at night with expensive jewelry and pockets full of money. I didn’t have a problem (not being brave just did not assess the threat level) but would I do it again? No.

If foreigners were getting robbed every day, newspapers would not print it as it would not be newsworthy. Always keep in mind that rare crimes make the news, common crimes do not.

Been going to Angeles every weekend, sometimes twice a week, for a year and half now. And been there about 50 times before that. Never had a serious problem.

Hi,

Searching for some pictures ore videos. Perfect Girl from Olongapo. Aisa ore Aira. I had her several times but I lost my camera last month.

Thanks a lot.

I agree with Robbaf. Please, for your own sake, stay home during the month of January or go to another country! Nothing but bad news and death in AC during that time. :-)

[QUOTE=Acfreddie]Just today I learned that there will be a pool party at Kokomo's on Sunday the 20th of September from 1pm til 6pm. Admission is P400 and includes reduced customer drink prices, ladies drink prices and a buffet spread.

Now while I am a fan of pool parties of Kokomo's in the earlier years, the last ones I have attended (in the past 2 years or so) are very tame in comparison to the ones just a couple of years ago and more importantly compared to other pool parties that are still occasionally held. I just wanted to mention this as I generally no longer recommend their parties to friends or members, but I did want to let members know about it. Each member can decide for themselves if they want to attend or not.[/QUOTE]

An update for this party - According to a posting on another local PI board, the admission is now free to attend.

I have saved a screen shot of the posting just in case it comes to light that later they re-change their minds and decide to charge (which for the group hosting the party would not be the first time a change was made and the boards not informed of it).

I have visited AC numerous times. I stick to Fields avenue at night. Although I have been foolish enough to walk to the casino. Not because of the money issue to take a trike but to get some walking exercise done. Here on I will not do it.
I do not flash any money, wear regular clothes and no jewellery. Never felt threatened and never talked with anybody even if they tried to initiate a conversation. Just smiled and walked away.
Generally once you barfine a girl she will become your local protector. I let her carry some money so that if we go to eat or barhopping she will take care of the tab. This way I need not flash the wad of money even if we buy something on the street. I have seen people will leave you alone if you are with a girl.
Walking anywhere in the daytime does not seem to be a problem. Even the expats who live there will not think of walking at night or going through a isolated area.
Do not rent a motorbike or a car. If you hit some car or person you are in deep shit. Never loose your cool because you will never win your argument .
Physical fighting is common in many countries and police will not take any action.
We are there for a short time and it is better to concentrate on enjoying rather than confronting and acting like a big jerk even if you are drunk.
