Artful:
I've been to BKK on several Christmases and it was pretty much business as usual, IMHO, but I can't compare to PI as I've only been there in Jan-Feb.
BG's come up to wish you "Melly Clismas". Some of the bars have special uniforms for them that presumably get used once a year. I recall one that was a cross between elves and reindeer. I guess now we know what those nasty little elves are doing up there in the off-season.

[quote=sammon]in the future ask the hotel security guy to confirm that the girl is 18 and over. these guys do know how and generally phi girls do not lie to them thinking it will get her into trouble. there are many scams going on with **** girls and you do not want to be a target for extortion.
never try to impress the girl if she comes with couple of relatives and want to eat. taking them to jollebees will be perfectively fine. this way it did not cost too much money and even if you did not get into her pants you will feel little better.
one time i met a dia girl and she spent the night with me. next day she asked me if her cousin can come to the room and meet me. i said ok. sure enough her cousin (very good looking by the way) came with her husband and a little daughter. after pleasantries all wanted to go shopping with me because they needed to buy something. i decined saying i need to do something in the computer. so they left but the girl came back immediately and asked for some money saying she needed to buy gifts for them and also the little girl. so i gave some money.
after about couple of hours they all came back. soon they said they are hungery and wanted to downstairs to mcdonalds to eat. i decined again saying i am not hungry. once again the sequence repeated itself with the girl asking for money. i gave small amount this time. after an hour so they all came back and i did not see any intention on their part leaving. i took the girl outside and said they need to go and she protested saying it has been a long time since she has seen her cousin. i said if she wanted to leave she can go and be with them and it is ok with me. suddenly her demeanor changed. ultimately she asked them to leave. by then my mood is thoroughly spoiled and somehow i wanted to get rid of her. but i let her stay that night and in the morning i said something came up and i need to leave town.
some of these girls think that once they give themselves to you, you need to put up with their family.[/quote]this is what blows me away. i can understand sister or brother but cousin? i invited a wonan for dinner and i told her should could invite her aunt and uncle to join us since she has not bothers or sisters. i said how many people she said maybe 7 or 8 i said cool. but to my surprise there was jeepney waiting at the entrance of the hotel full of her relatives. people she doesn't see often and people i hadn't met.
i dated girls in china and vietnam and yes they invited family but not to the extent of the philippinos. just amazing. someone advised her that if you marry a pinay be prepared to be married to the whole family wow. and i also agree in their culture family tends to come first before husband if i marry a pinay i assure you i will move with her to another city or far away and i bet you this won't stop her from asking for help for her family. that is why a lot of pinays don't want to go back to the pi frequently because of family expectations. simply amazing!
Re Jolybee, bit like McD, so no surprises there.
Plenty of ladies in the malls, around closing time.
Been here one week, and not slept alone (YET). The waitress in the hotel for breakfast almost falls over as I (we) approach.
The Christmas music and decorations are well underway.
My hotel is hosting a seminar on trafficking. (spl). So full of extremely nice young ladies too.
Was thinking of contributing as a unbiased consumer.
WTF

[QUOTE=Sharka]Also, any details on just how do I spot a casa in Manila?[/QUOTE]
Replying to an old post I happened across ... For what it's worth, the one I was at in Cebu was just a house with a big sheet metal gate in a wall. With a little window for the guard to look through. Taxi hoots and the guard lets you in. Taxi waits while you pick and takes you to a ST hotel or wherever. I paid like 2500 peso overnight if I remember correctly, it should be on the forum ...
Looks like I will be in PI again in December. Will have a couple days in Manila with some free time in the late morning/early afternoon. Any recommendations for action before 5pm?
[QUOTE=Phantomtiger2]But sadly, you won't believe how many foreigners (hopefully not too many members here) actually fall for all this and give into the gals.[/QUOTE]
Well, if the guys fall for this, then more power to the girls and their families! As I recall, one of Murphy's law's is: "It is morally wrong to allow suckers to keep their money." lol

[QUOTE=Germanboy 2]Then she said that she wants to tell me a secret. She has a second I'd which is the true one, and she is 16. But she wanted to have a foreigner and was afraid that I would have send her away if she says this before.
Guys, I swear to you: I was starting to sweat blood. I gave her 1000 and guided her down to the exit, she said bye and is texting since 2 days that she will see me again. Of course we will not.

If this had happened to me, I think I'd be on the next plane out of the Philippines and back home. I would assume that all the girl's friends and family would be persuading her to use this opportunity for blackmail, and to get the police involved. I would definitely be outa there!

RG[/QUOTE]And if you had a sim you had purchased the day before and given a meaningless ID (there is NO LAW in Phils that states you have to provide a passport to hotels. Its just a common practice) and even given the girl an incorrect name, then no one knows who the heck you are, so no need to worry. The secret is in never giving out real details. Just in case.

At the very least I would have changed hotels & thrown the sim card away.
Shit that was as close as you would want to get to knowingly doing a minor.
Rich pickings for the PNP/Relatives/Girl.

AV[/QUOTE]Not to throw cold water, but not all in Philippines are looking for scamming / Blackmail.
But then again, no guts, no glory.
Yeah, atleast a change of room / hotel would have been safer.
Not sure where to post this. On my last two trips I have burned out two Hitachi wand vibrators. You know, the kind you massage your back with (wink). Each time I used a standard electrical converter from the front desk for my 110 wand. Each time, as soon as I turned it on, there was a small pop noise, a small wisp of smoke and the smell of electrical wire burning. I unplugged it and it never worked again. They are about $40 and I don't want to lose another one. I have had much fun with the ladies here in my home country with it, and you know how pinay can be curious. Any thoughts on how to make the electrical thing work right?
My guess is you need a quality converter/stabilizer. Probably easier/cheaper to just buy 220V toys.

Pi power is 220/240 v and the cheap adapters just change the pin settings from non Pi to Pi pins
For example, if you look in the bathroom of decent hotels, you will see two separate power outlets of 110 and 220/240 so unless you get her to use the next one in there but then you have to watch electrocution.
Tough being a global monger ;)

If I remember earlier discussions the age of consent is 16 if no money changes hands and 18 if money is involved. So, if he had not given any pesos, he may have gotten away with it or he could have convinced any one the money was a gift and not connect to the sex.
Staying away from her the rest of the trip is the safest course and denying any previous contact.

if the girl is **** 18 even staying with her alone in a hotel room is prohibited.
there is nothing like "..... age of consent is 16 if no money changes hands and 18 if money is involved..... " in the phils.
what you say here apply maybe to western countries.
i know this because we most recently had this discussion in a german board.
for phils applies the rule: handīs off if the girl is ****!!!!
