Angeles City

Is the endless tipping discussion finally finished? yeah!

So, how were the Halloween parties in AC. Surely someone has a picture of a sexy witch or something! X

[QUOTE=Sammon]Some girls are really telling the truth. Few times I called their bluff and barfined them and ended up with a mess on the sheets.
Maybe sometimes it is advisable to ask her point blank if she is on mens before you buy a drink for her. But then you do not even know if you want to barfine her.

There are too many willing girls to be worried about few rejections.[/QUOTE]I think Alaska makes the bleeders where red bikinis so you know. That is smart! I wish all the other bars would adopt the same policy.

I have noted a lot of energy around the topic of the "High" prices and offer the following comparison.

I was first in PI from 1976-1979 while in the Navy and stationed at Subic Bay.

At that time my monthly income was $700 and the peso was 7 Pesos to the dollar. So my income in pesos was 4900 Pesos per month.

Prices were as follows:

Overnight = 50 PESOS

Short time = 26 PESOS

Ladies Drink = 10 PESOS

Beer = 2 PESOS

Jeepney 20 - 50 CENTAVOS

Average Night out (Girl + 5 Beers & No Ladies Drink) = 50 + 10 = 60 Pesos or $10 including incidentals.

So, a night out was Ten Dollars (70 Pesos), or about 1.5% of my monthly pay

Fast forward to 2010.

Assume a person earning $50,000 per year on a mongering trip to Angeles City.

With an exchange rate of 40 Pesos to the dollar, thet equates to 2,000,000 (two-million) Pesos per year.

That equates to about 16,700 Pesos per month.

If a night out costs 3000 Pesos That is less the one-fourth of one percent (.25 %) of your monthly income.

As far as I can tell, all things being equal, the cost of living in PI for someone from the West has not changed much since 1977.

Any thoughts??

3000/167,000 = 1.8%

Remarkably similar to your old days.

Not to far back but going by a very foggy memory peso rate in 88-89 was I believe 21-22 to a dollar bar fines about 300 short time 600 longtime No cell phones no internet total attention on me good times. My pay was about $1500 a month has a e- 5 plus we always got TDY money to blow so I think those of us that got to be there then done well and those where the glory days. I just remember how the girls would wait in our rooms all day for us to return home from work they ironed my uniforms and spit shined my boots to inspection order Miss that kind of pampering

I am an American who has travelled around the world. Yes, it's true. We yanks and Canadians are "required" to tip in our restaurants, taxis, hotel concierges, etc, etc. And we are expected to give at least 15%. If I go to a restaurant with 5 others, the 15% to 18% tip is automatically added to the bill. If we don't, shit will hit the roof.

On the other hand, our restaurant prices, hotel prices, etc, (I can't say the same about taxi fares though), are much, much lower than Australia, Europe or Japan. In the end, it averages out. It is just a different system.

So, when in Rome.

The End (of discussion?). Amen?

[QUOTE=Nvslim]I spit soda all over my keyboard when I read the last line.

I ended up with a set of red wings from DATYing a YST who did not know her period had started. I looked like the Joker from Batman (cut ear to ear). So it was sex in the shower the rest of the night.

Slim[/QUOTE]I have video that I was making with a hot girl I knew.

In the clip we both get undressed and shows me rubbing her pussy and fingering her. I guess as I was holding the camera I wasnt paying attention to the fact that as I withdrew my finger it had the tell.tale red blood marks, and then as my cock slowly entered her I saw it. And hastily removed my cock.

Poor girls face was priceless with embarrasment.

With prices this low, its no wonder that the occasional visitor spends like a sailor. I'll be back for a week in November and estimate no more than $100 per day including lodging at Pacific Breeze hotel, food and drinks.

Life is good.

[blue]Greetings Everyone,

I recently cleaned up this thread by deleting a number of off-topic and otherwise pointless posts, as well as a number responses made by other forum members to these deleted posts.

This cleanup process is not perfect, and it's possible that I may have inadvertently deleted a few otherwise legitimate posts. If you find that your own report was also deleted, please don't take it personally.

Thanks,

Good job, Jackson. There's always too much chit chat and blah blah blah in these Philippines threads. Never really understood why that is.

A couple pics from last week's dance performance at Dollhouse.

Any thoughts??[/QUOTE]Maybe not, but barfines have gone up significantly since I got here 6 years ago. Back then, it was 53 pesos to the US$, and the barfine in AC was 1, 200 to 1, 400 pesos. So, if we use the average price of 1, 300, then a barfine was $25 six years ago.

Flash forward to now. It is 42 to the US$ and barfines are 1, 500 to 3, 000. I very rarely pay 3,000, but prefer hotties that go for 2,500 and often find my type of girl for 1,500. So if we take an average or 2,000 for a barfine, then that is $48.

So, if your income in US$ has increased by 12% a year for the past 6 years, then barfine prices have not increased at all relative to your income. Unfortunately, very few Americans can boast such increases in income continuosly for 6 years, so things have gone up quite a bit for us. But if you are Australian, well, I am sure you would have a much better perspective.
