Angeles City

We departed the hotel at 9:05am. We took three trikes to the bus station in Dau. The drivers tied our luggage to the top of the trikes. 70 pesos each. One of my wingmen is Filipino and was speaking Tagalog with the people so I can only tell my perception of what was going on.

It appeared to be many bus companies at the bus station. When we arrived the trike driver took our luggage off. There were many young guys walking around with t shirts identifying them as working at the bus station. My wingman told one that we were going to Pasay (which is the neighborhood closest to the airport in Manila). He led us to the first bus smoking. The company happened to be Five Star.

As I said before the distance between AC and Manila is 82km. From Dau to Quezon City 53 minutes had passed. From here on in the bus made many stops throughout Manila to let people off. We finally arrived at the Five Star terminal at 11:30am. My wingman paid for the tickets so I do not know how much they cost. But if I recall correctly he told me that from Manila to AC a couple of days before he had paid 120 or 128 pesos for himself.

After we arrived at the bus terminal in Pasay we took a taxi to the airport. Again my wingman spoke with the driver. When we got into the taxi I told the driver to start the meter, but my wingman said he had already settled on giving the driver 200 pesos. It took us 20 minutes to arrive at the airport, which was right down the street, due to heavy traffic.

So it took us 2 hours 45 minutes from the hotel in AC to the Airport in Manila by trike, bus, and taxi. Total cost 70 trike, 120 bus, 200 taxi: 390 pesos. It beats the 2400 we paid to take a car all the way and was really simple.

[QUOTE=Wadman]It depends on the country and hotel standards, I guess. In some hotels, you get free (cheap, disposable) toothbrushes, toothpaste, and small bottles of (refillable) shampoo/conditioner. China, Hong Kong and Canadian hotels for example.

Central Park hotel does give you 3 pieces of soap. Complimentary.[/QUOTE]Wadman,

Go to pacific breeze around the corner better room and free shampoo but it cost 10 usd more than central park ,when I first go to AC 10 yr ago central park only cost 24 usd everything is up now but it is different from CP.

I use a nickname just for fun and I always have. I am know as Robb in Lollipop and I am know as Charlie in Treasure Island (TI). Image my surprise when I took two girls from Lollipop into TI:) The girl started yelling "Hi Charlie" and the girls from Lollipop looked at me and said, "I thought your name is Robb??". I told them Robb is my real name and Charlie is my nickname in TI:D

Last weekend I had a ST girl in my hotel and I received a Facebook email. I opened my Facebook and she said, "Hey your name is "____" and I just had to laugh.

Robb

I short timed a girl last Monday and I was expecting one pop and out, but after we showered I felt like taking a hour nap and she said she wanted a nap also, so we slept an hour. I got a work text and woke up, answered the text and she woke up and rolled over and looked at me and said, "I am available!" and I looked at her and said, "What?". She repeated, "I am available?" and rolled over on her stomach and put her ass in the air. I asked her you want to go doggie style? She said yes and maybe cat style. I started laughing and I asked her WTF is cat style??? And she wiggled her ass in the air and said "Meow Meow":D

I suggest taking Swagman fly the bus. For 600 pesos they will come and pick you up at your AC hotel and drop you off at Swagman , Manila. After that you can take Swagman van to the airport or take a taxi. Taxi will cost approx 150 pesos on the meter and 200 negotiated. You and your baggage will arrive safely at the airport without worries.
Your way to save 400 pesos is not ideal with haggling with trikes, worrying about which bus to catch and where to get off and always worrying about if your luggage is offloaded anywhere along the line.
If you are a group of 3-4 people it is economical to hire a car all the way.

@enternational. I had made this kind of trips many time. Trike to Dau, bus and then taxi to the airport. Hate it. I did this only if I wanted to stay as long as I can in Angeles city and then head up to the airport in one run.
Nowadays I would prefer to go to Manila one day earlier, enjoy the last evening there and then next day as well and then head to to the airport in order to catch my flight.
Another possible I did in my earlier years, was to leave AC with fly the bus early, then get a 3 - 5 hours or so room either in Swagmann or this other aussie run hotel just around the corner for 500 PHP or so. Walk to LA cafe or MBC now, had some drinks, get a girl and head back to the hotel room, f..ck, sleep, take a shower and get fresh to the aiport.
Anyway whatever you like to do, its always hard to leave Angeles city. For me now its very easy to leave that place, since I work in Manila and back for the next weekend over there LOL.

Robb[/QUOTE]At least I could not laugh about it because it might bring one in an very unpleasant situation, at least when one has a partner at home.

Central Park hotel is 35 USD for their cheapest room now. Pacific Breeze is 48 USD minimum I believe.

I am just complaining for sake of complaining. Not that 50 pesos here and there really make a difference.

After barhopping and barfining our dates for the night, a group of us ended up at Angeles Yacht Club KTV around 11 PM, I believe (Goddamn if I can remember the times and names of bars after all those beers).

Angeles Yacht Club is an upscale KTV singing club. It's past Fields avenue (away from Perimeter direction), make a right turn, and then go for a few hundred yards. There were no other customers when we got there, other than the DJ, bartenders, waitresses, etc. But that's ok, since there were 9 of us.

We stayed in the main hall, although they have private rooms too. The decor was swanky, hardware was good.

After our first round of drinks arrive, the waitress informs us that there is a 300 pesos minimum per head. This is after the drinks arrive, not when we walk in. One of the regular AC guys complains loudly, says it's bullshit and demands to see the boss. Boss never shows up of course.

It gets better... For the first round of drinks, they gave us 1 set of menus. Most (regular) drinks on those menus were 100 pesos (which I thought was fair enough for an upscale place). San Miguel Light was certainly 100 p per bottle. After a while, those menus got replaced by another set of menus. Everything is the same, except for the prices. Most drinks are now 150 p. We get charged 150 p per drink at the end of the night of course. No tip whatsoever from us. No more mention of the 300 pesos per head minimum.

A bit silly on the part of the establishment really. Had they not ripped us off on the bill we would have gladly left a tip and the amount would not have been that much less. Plus then we would go back, because the overall setup was quite good (if you like singing, or watching your buddies sing). After the dirty tricks they won't see us there again.

How about an updated account of the clubs. Lets start with Fields:

La Bamba: Went there during happy hour, 55 pesos for SML. I was not impressed with the line up here, not as good as last year. I remember this bar as fun for some reason. but I thought it was boring this time around. Just average looking girls.

Geckos: Biggest disappointment for me, the quality at the bar was great last year but average to poor now. Girls here like to scratch their throats while on stage, begging for ladies drinks, very annoying. 60 pesos for SML during happy hour.

Valhalla: Good thing about this bar is that happy hour is until 10pm. A couple cuties here. A couple of GROs were hounding me for drinks and wouldn't leave me alone. I left soon after.

Icarus: I popped my head into this club; completely empty, but the girls were still doing some choreographed dance routine. For practice? Very strange. I didn't stick around.

Honey Pot: I saw a nice looking 22 year old, childless, kind of looked Brasilian to me, nice ass and long curly hair. Bought her a drink but she was really shy/boring in the bar so I aborted my mission and left after that. The girls at this bar were wearing white stockings, looked pretty sexy.

Coyote Ugly: Found Fucklet #3 here (FYI, I have a rotating team of Fucklets), skinny 23 year old, expensive barfine at 1500, but as a resident of Barebackistan she gave good BBFSCIP. She told me she is on Trust pills and showed me them. Seen her a few times since, she asked if she could move in with me, I said yes at first but I've changed my mind since then. She says she's quitting the bar next week to go back to her province, doesn't like working in the bar. She'd make a good live-in, however, she's too clingy for me & won't stop texting.

One Eyed Wench: I went here last week when they had a promotion going on, free local drinks from 8-11, a great deal. Girls weren't the best looking, but good enough for free beer. I met a cute 19 year old here that I said I'd come back for, but I didn't follow through on it.

Brown Sugar: This place was closed for a couple of days, maybe because of the raids? Open again, some cute cherries here, if you're into that. I'm not, so I left pretty quickly.

Pony Tails: I like this bar, fun place, some nice looking girls too. 1500 peso barfine. Found Fucklet #5 here, she used to work at Stampede bar last year as the door girl, maybe some of you remember her. Now she's at Pony Tails, 25 years old (which is too old for me personally, hell even 23 is pushing it!) but she was a fanastic, wild fuck! BBBJ, BBFS, even anal was on the menu, but I'm actually not really into that. She's in my rotation now.

Dr Holms: Fucklet #2 dances here. They have some cute cherries and some ugly non-cherries, odd combo.

Gentlemen's club: They had some cute girls here, met a hot looking 20 year old with a solid body I wanted to barfine, but she was on menstration, showed me the pad for proof. I have a feeling she'd be a terrible lay, so I haven't gone back yet.

Emotions: I like the setup of this club, but the women are, for the most part, too old for me. Met a 28 year old with THREE children working here, no thanks!

Let's take a break for a second...ok, now for Perimeter bars:

Nifty's Bar: They wouldn't let me barfine here! It was my first time in this bar and the mamasan didn't know me, so no barfine. There is an incredibly cute girl here with huge tits, maybe 20 years old, anyone that goes to this bar will know who I'm talking about. Maybe another time.

Rio Bar: Right next to Nifty's, never been here either but I had no problem barfining from here, WTF? Barfined a 20 year old from Manila, covered FS, and almost a covered BJ too, she keeps texting me to do a "sn!ck out" but she wasn't a good lay. She's not worthy of being one of my fucklets!

Matrix Brawn: Still have the 500 peso BBBJ in the back room. Average to poor looking girls, and a couple of the same girls from last year! This bar needs some new blood badly. I like the concept of the bar, though.

Honey Ko's: This is the club to go to if you like to get a HJ for the price of a lady's drink (100 pesos). Got a HJ from a 20 year old with cupcake titties, and then barfined a 25 year old with A cups and big, long nipples. Good fuck, although covered FS. Maybe it's better though, since she does multiple short times every day, according to her. Fucklet #4...for now.

T&A Bar: Fulcket #1 works here, they have some nice looking girls now, and 45 peso beers during happy hour, I recommend everyone check this place out. 1100 peso barfines, too.

I went to some other places too, but I don't remember which ones. Same BS at Dollhouse and Atlantis, not my kind of places personally, but I'm here to fuck, not to throw ping pong balls.

Hasta pronto...

@wadmann
read your KTV story and being in the Phils since a long time working, then as a tourist, then working and living again I surely know this kind of KTV places.
I lived in Quezon city before and some years ago and when my boss visited me from BKK we checked some places after dinner.
Those places were all the same rip off. Some idiots flash with their lights into your face, let you sign something...I always get suspicious if I have to sing something. Add something here, something, there, cover charge here and there. Its all fuckn bullshit and rip off. Those places are mostly for pinoy guys or chinese pinoy businessmen and if you think as a foreigner you are a number one traget for ripp off in Philippines bars you had never visited those places..well, now you did.
There are some places who are ok. I know of one. Maybe you try that one when you head back to Manila. Its called Miss Universe, or Miss Universal. After raids they always change their name LOL. Its the sidestreet of Edsa ENtertainiment complex. So if you like to go to Edsa to check out the bars in Pasay (next to Ermita Manila) you might take a look at that place before. They have nude shows and modell alike pinays. They good looking. No rip off and its fun to start the evening like this.
There are some other places in ANgeles city, such as Pink Lady and one my GF mistress works as wettress. Belive me, they all rip offs, you cant trust them to go there when you drunk. Mostly girls from Pampanga worked there and if you talk to a Pampangan girl who happends to work in a bar in fields, she is bullshit anyway.
Thats my experience. If the girl is from AC itself, forget her, if she is from Manila, forget her too. If you have one from Cebu or Bicol...excellent. Leyte, excellent. Samar, well many of them are around in Angeles city.
That is also always one questions I ask beforehand I spend a LD or tink about to barfine her. Where you from? province?
Just be careful with KTV places. I think Blue Nile executive has also private rooms with KTV. I would rather try over there, you wont get so much ripped off as in places who mostly cather for locals. In short: You need to know the scene. Again, there are two I know. Juliana and Pink Lady. I also befriend some girls who work there or have one I could call my GF mistress. Lets see if that is still ok, when I am back this month :D
Happy weekend!

I don't have a partner at home, so I am safe. I add bar girls to my Facebook and you would be surprised how many see yours on their friend's and add you and you make new friends:D

[QUOTE=Ezinho]How about an updated account of the clubs. Lets start with Fields[/quote]I'm happy to hear Fields is striving again, how was Atlantis? I love that joint.

Hey crazy question but when you were at Coyote Ugly, was there a girl working there by the name of Angeline?
