Hi everybody!
Sorry for asking newby-questions but I've only been to Angeles in March/April so far. Now this year I'm planning to go back there once more in July or August.
The question is: What can I expect? The same as in April, except that I will need an umbrella? Or is there considerably less action going on? Would you recommend going there in July or in August? Or doesn't it matter at all?
Thanks for your advice to all experienced users!

Great post by the Gamahucker,
Where was GH 15 years ago when I first took a bus to AC? I didn't have enough sense to get off at Dau (duh)....but made an inquiry shortly after leaving the Dau terminal.
Oops, having realized my mistake I got dropped off a minute or two out of the terminal. Good thing I asked. I got on a jeepney which took me somewhere in the city, then a trike, and somehow made it to the strip. It didn't seem very pleasant at the time, but it was a learning experience.
The next visit I took a taxi. As GH suggests, there is the swaggy bus.

[QUOTE=Gamahucher]Presume that you mean the Victory Liner Terminal in Pasay (there are terminals in Sampaloc, Cubao and other places)? If so there are numerous ST hotels in the vicinity of Taft LRT, of which the best would probably be Sogo Hotel which is located virtually underneath Taft LRT station, and good for an 8-12 hour stay.
You do know that VL Buses only go to Dau (en route to Dagupan and Baguio)? For a direct service to Angeles you have to go to Philippine Rabbit terminal on Recto (again near to an LRT station, D Jose). There is another Sogo located a short hop away in Carriedo (lots of street action nearby if you are interested).
Hope you don't have much luggage. If you have, you might be better grabbing a taxi (P2000, or P1500 if you bargain hard, but not an Airport taxi which will be far more) or getting the Swagman bus from Ermita.[/QUOTE]
I don't live in the Philippines, but me thinks the July / August period will provide plenty of entertainment, but considerably more competition.
You have the Germans with their incredibly long holidays － often used in summer. Also, the friggin unbearable Americans typically take their holidays in the summer. And then you have the Japanese who manage to squeeze about a week of pleasure out of their workaholic lives in early August. Yen is strong now, so hopefully they will displace the barbarian Koreans.

Bd[/QUOTE]It's been my experience the only time you would have a problem would be on Easter and Christmas. Other than that, you should find it exactly the same as far as meeting women regardless of the month. The supply is much larger than the demand.
I love it when you post your pithy comments when you have obviously had one too many cups of sake, X.

Hi Handydan,
With all due respect, experience has proven that when members post questions in the [b][u]Travel Plans & Announcements[/u][/b] thread, the thread quickly turns into a discussion thread.
The Forum provides numerous other threads for discussing visas, airlines, hotels, apartments for rent, restaurants, places to visit, where to find chicas, etc.
I would very much appreciate it if you would consider re-posting your question in one of these established threads.
Thanks,

Does anyone have any advice for things to do, places to go etc. , in the Phils? I like to fish and would love to do some offshore fishing, but it gets expensive if you're the only customer on the boat. I'd also like to try to find some non-P4P ladies if I could manage. I hear Davao is good for that. Wouldn't mind meeting up with some other mongers too. Planned dates are somewhere around July 1. July 18.
Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]I'm an ex Monger who has lived in Thailand and now live in the PI (Cebu), I love to fish but there is very little commercial fishing here, most of the money is in diveing so the boat owners cater to that. There is some commercial fishing up around Luzon when the have an annual sail fish and marlin rodeo.
What you are going to run into here is some guy with a native BANCA who will take you offshore and let you try your luck with skipjack, grouper and "Barile" small yellow fin tuna best places are camiguin, Boracay and some of the Islands in Cebu like Malapasqua, Bantayan and Moalboal, the later I do every once in awhile, I will discuss Davao seperately later. Not much in the way of fishing gear here, you can usually find some limited equipment in the sporting goods stores in the larger SM or Ayala Malls.
You might want to try pond fishing, many "cultured" fish ponds which have small cottages you can stay overnight and fish all day for Talapia (Like giant sunfish or bass) or Bangus, I love catching bangus on a small rod, they leap and jump and put up a hell of a fight. Davao near Toril has an excellent pay per fish pond.
Poon is easier to find in the PI than in Thailand, different attitude, Thai girls are pure mercenary, greatest at sex and not to be trusted worth a damn, most speak little english. PI girls have a different attitude, are all looking for the foreign BF, read a husband, but are lots of fun if you get the right one, the line between freelancer, P4P and 'regular girl' vs hard core pro, dancing naked in a bar GRO can sometimes blur but finding a "regular" girl is easy. Can't trust them much either but better than Thai's most speak good english.
If you get to Cebu give me a PM.

I will visit Angeles for the first time from June 8 till June 11.
Anyone there to show a newbie around?
SH, can't remember the last time I used or heard the word "poon".
For our non English speaking friends, it is a derivitive of poontang (****/ sex) which was borrowed from the French "putain". One of the words above will be editted out automatically. Think cuuunnnt, which means vagggggina. A doctor might ask a woman about her vagggina, but not cuuuunnnnt. Unless of course he is talking to his HHHORE. Oh, and putain in the original French means hhhore. If any of you Frenchhh FFFuckers notice any mistakes, please speak up.

What can I say, I'm an old fashioned guy who uses outdated verbage. Poon was the most common among my GI buddies when us 19YO fools used to go on spending sprees in Saigon and BKK. As in "Wall to wall poon" short indeed for Poontang, which takes too long to say. However, 'poon' can also be confused with the Visayan word for "Bxstard" ie: 'Poontango' Not a literal bxstard with questionable parentage but a real "bxstard" a lowlife, A SOB.
Slang is facinatin' ain't it?

The name spamhog was "won" in E. Timor during my tenure as a "peace keeper) or was it piece keeper?. I was one of the four original "horny hogs" of E. Timor. Root hog (so named for the length of his 'weapon) Road hog (X motorcycle cop) Boar hog (He specialized in dog style, aka "boar hogging")
and of course me. I earned the name "spam" hog when I hacked into our anal retentive kill joy female section chief's computer and had tons of lesbian oriented porn (spam) sent to her email which drove her nuts.

I just noticed that Filipine Air has cut one of their daily flights between Manila and Los Angeles. They only have 2 per day so they are halfing it! If you are flying in the near future and have already made your reservation you need to check if you are affected.
I assume they have cut alot of other flights also since this Manila-LAX flight is one of their busiest.
They made no effort to contact me and their solution to the travel problems it will cause me was less than concern!
I'm in Angeles for the first time and staying at Hotel Amsterdam. Please message me with your cell if you can meet up for some barhoppin'! I'll buy you a draft beer. I'm from Las Vegas and was in Hong Kong for a week and decided to come here as a side vacation.
