Makati

[QUOTE=Vin Zoolander]New World Renaissance, do they have broadband there in the rooms? If not, which hotels in the Makati area have broadband services in their rooms?

Please advise, dudes.

Thanks![/QUOTE]

Vin Zoolander,

Wouldn't have been easier to first try using any search engine for this subject (Google) as its everyday information rather than post this question? Second, it has already been covered in this forum and two other hotels that also have broadband internet access are Dusit Nikko[url]www.dusit.com/Dusit/dnm[/url] and the City Garden.

[QUOTE=Vin Zoolander]Thanks Sun Devil, but is there anything below US$80 per nite over that area, have a certain budget from my company.

Cheers![/QUOTE]

The cheapest one I have encountered in Makati is the Hyatt at $85 a pop. You might want to try the Ermita or Paranaque sections of Manila for cheaper hotels.

After perusing through this thread I have compiled a list of bars in Makati that have women available for bar fines. To all veteran mongers of Makati, please comment on whether they are worth visiting, have closed, or are total rip off. Please suggest any other places in Makati that I have not listed:

Bandidos

Billboards

Bottoms

Cafe Mogambo

Cuddles

Dandasha

Dimples

Foxy's

Go Go Bananas

Hollywood

Ivory

Jools

Mascara

Montanas

Rascals

Shampoo Bar

Wild West

In addition, besides public places like malls, coffee shops, department stores and parks, I have read that one can encounter freelancers looking to make some money at:

Filling Station

Hard Rock Cafe

Any comments to above list would be beneficial.

Manadrin Oriental is most definitely girl friendly .... most definitely !!

And it is a great place to stay.

Room rates can vary very greatly - I have paid as little as USD60, average I pay is USD 75, once I stayed elsehwhere as they wanted USD 100. Try one of the online travel agents.

I usually stay at the Oxford Suites which is on P. Burgos, right in the middle of the action.

The rooms I believe are great value at around 2,200 P. a night and you might be able to book it even a little cheaper if you check out the online travel agencies.

The Oxford is a **** hotel star and includes a continental breakfast and most importantly is girl friendly to an overnight guests.

Brothers,

What would a 2BR apartment in Makati run, furnished, with international satellite TV and Internet access, to rent per month? Ballpark?

Just wondering what the cost of a temporary base would be...

Thanks.

Intransit,

Taking a brief respite from your China travels, eh? Regarding your Q on 2BR Apt rentals in Makati, it will run probably aroound US$900-1,000/mo. Check out [url]www.asiatravel.com[/url] and their monthly deals. Hope you enjoy your PI trips. These are several more Apt-Hotels in Makati. The GILARMI Apartments, and Charter House Apartments, same owner. They used to be listed in asiatravel but not anymore.

intransit,

from my personal experience, the rent for a nicely furnished apartment in makati with all amenities you listed would run from about $1200 to up to $2500 per month inclusive of utilities and dues, assuming you intend to rent on a month-to-month basis. if you were to sign a 6-month or one-year lease, the rent obviously would be lower. i'm talking about premium properties with area of at least 150 sq. m for 2br apartment, dsl connection and great security.

if are a bit flexible regarding some of the amenities (e.g., the broadband internet, size of the apartment and quality of furniture), you could get something under $1000. when you negotiate, make sure that the agent gives you the price inclusive of the dues (they could run as high as $200 per month) and utilities (electricity is not cheap here). if high-speed internet is not your priority, you could easily get a prepaid card for modem access. for 100 pesos (less than $2) you could get up to 10 hours of internet. they are sold everywhere. in comparison, dsl connection could cost from $35 to $50 depending on the speed.

again, this is from my personal experience of an expat. maybe some other members of the forum could provide more depth on the subject.

cheers,

So far my experience in this country has been great. I am currently staying at the Peninsula hotel, a 5 star establishment that is charging me $90 a day due to me staying here for at least a week. Its location is its greatest asset. It is walking distance from enough from Burgos that I don't need a taxi to get there and just across the street from Glorietta malls and Greenbelt.

After my buddy's wedding, I went with his cousins and other relatives to Starfleet, a massage parlor in Paranaque. There was this uncle of his from California who brought his son and nephew, both 15 years old, to the place so that they can experience their first fs adventure there. Can you believe that!

As far as I am concerned, the experience there was fabulous. I am still amazed at the ability of Filipinos to be bilingual, considering that Tagalog and English are so different. I had a girl named Angielyn thare, #17, who just started working there about 4 months ago. For 4,000 pesos, about $71, she first gave me a Thai massage, which is a wet massage; a regular massage, your typical massage that includes oil and alcohol; and two rounds of sex, meaning that I was able to blow my nut twice. This was a 2-hour experience.

Just a little warning though who plan to go here. The women here tend to either forget or do not want to have sex with condoms, at least with me. I had to be the one who insisted in putting on a condom, rather than my Filipina counterpart.

I had one of those weird experiences that *****mongers only experience last night. The night before I met Nika at the Starbucks on Ayala Avenue, right across from the Shangri-La hotel. We were in line together and I just commented about her shirt and the next thing you know we were sitting at a table together. After chit-chatting, we decided to go to my room to do the deed in the Peninsula hotel. She asked me for a 2,000 peso tip, which is about $35, afterwards, gave me her number, and we left together for the Cafe Havana to dance the night away.

The next night I went to Greenbelt again and this time met with Candy and her friend Penelope right in front of the Starbucks there. Again after chit-chatting, we went to my room. The cost for this orgy was 8,000 pesos, or $142. Being not in the lesbian thing, I took turns pummeling both of them, until I blew my nut.

Afterwards, while I was talking to Penelope on my left, Candy received a phone call, from somebody. This person asked her where she was and she described her situation--that she was in the Peninsula hotel with a guy from Arizona. Well, the next thing you know, Candy asked me excitedly what my last name was. After telling her, she told me that the person she was talking to was no other than Nika, to whom I given my full name, the girl I had sex with the night before on the same bed! These girls were friends. I guess they ply their trade in the Glorietta and Greenbelt areas. Talk about a weird circumstance.

Sun Devil: Nice posts and good information. I'm a regular visitor to Manila and would be interested in seeing Starfleet next week. Any idea what time it opens? Will certainly go and have a Starbucks over at the Greenbelt too!

Mind you, not that I really need to. I found it is better to know one girl there. I found 'Elvie' through an escort agency (specifically requesting ID proof of a 19 year old wearing a dress). I was so surprized when see turned up. Stunningly young looking, wearing one of those Heineken Bar Girl dresses (which she let me do her in later). Very new to the escort business and very happy to meet me it seemed.

I call her or e-mail her directly now and pay Ps.3,000 every two months via Western Union for her to write, suck, fuck and turn up where and when I want when I'm over. She brings any school / nurse uniforms over to the hotel in exchange for new underwear that I buy for her. Fucking a 19 year old in her school uniform with blouse ripped open is quite a fucking amazing thing. And legal!

How old are the girls at Starfleet?

Starfleet is open from 12 in the afternoon to 3 in the morning. Two sets of promo hours are from 12 pm to 6:59 pm and 1:30 am to 3 am. The cost for a Thai message is 2,000 pesos, plus 2,000 for the FS tip during these promo hours.

Regular hours are from 7 pm to 1: 29 am. The cost for the Thai massage is 2,800 pesos, plus 2,800 pesos for the FS tip. Good luck in your endeavors.

For those interested, there is a sister site of Starfleet in Makati called Palacio Don Pedro. They are open 24 hours and located near Burgos Street.

Hey all,

Wondering if anyone else here besides me has tried either of these two?

Air Force 1 or Pegasus?

Ive been to both last August and would say that Air Force One has to be the best in all Asia or something.? Why do I find it hard to see reviews on this place?

Care to share what both places are CBR Boy? Or where they are? Or, infact why they haven't been reviewed?

See my Post on 12.29.04 for review of AF1 and Spa 168 in the "Manila" section. They are connected. The AF1 is an upscale karaoke place near the airport. It is not in Makati. Air Force One is packed with very good-looking ladies that are more pricey than most places. It is closed on Sundays.

Spa 168 is covered previously if you check that note.

Pegasus is similar to AF1, but I have never been there. I am not sure of the location (Quezon Ave?).
