Manila

Just to give you more Info. Coon was a derogatory term used in the USA It went along with the N. Word and another term like a blackie. I remember hearing it but it was a long time ago. Can't say if it was more of a northern term or a southern term. It looks like it could have been picked up and used because of the carnival you are refering to in South Africa. I was not aware of many of the things you mentioned. Anyway it is rather discusting and shows a lack of verbal communication skills to use any of these terms in my opinion.

U heard about the 2 Aborigines who moved to Thailand. U know what they become. Thaicoons.

[QUOTE=Sxxxx;1306063]Really? Where did you pick up that piece of misinformation. Your getting mixed up with a brand of Australian Cheese. See Wikipedia below. Coons might have been used by the British Colonisers 100 or so years ago, but I've never heard it in my life time. It can be mildly derogatory to refer to aborigines as "abo's". Depends on context, if such expression is considered mildly insulting or not. They always refer to me as aborigine, never "abo". Nice cheese, harmless expression, LOL.[/QUOTE]OTOH, CM might be right about 'coon'. Will PM you both.

[QUOTE=Westcoast1;1306204]OTOH, CM might be right about 'coon'. Will PM you both.[/QUOTE]I can't believe we are having this discussion on the board. Sxxxx I know plenty more Aussie words for the indigenous population but won't share as this board has more 'important' matters of mongering to discuss LOL

Remember once a Canadian being amazed at a Cheese being marketed as "Coon Cheese". Thats because its not derogatory, not racist, in the country that the Cheese is sold, Australia. Coon has got nothing to do with Australia, other than possibly Colonial times, way back and a cheese brand to this day. Never heard it being used in reference to my abo brothers ever. Never ever. Not common in Australia 2nd millenium, as suggested by original, possibly American, poster, not common. Nice Cheese though. Got to get back to practising on my didgeridoo, LOL.

Just arrived in Manila today, and I discovered that pharmacies don't sell Sildenafil / Viagra OTC. A bit surprising since this is no problem in Angeles City. I asked in Watsons in Mall of Asia and a small pharmacy at the Taft / EDSA crossing by the MRT. Both in Pasay City. I'll be grateful if anyone has an advice on this.

Many of the guys get it from the vendors outside Oxford Suites in Burgos. Price is around 1000 PHP for 6 boxes and is genuine but make sure they show you the contents first

Others I know have bought it from Mercury pharmacies. Just ask and say you about its use. But this is old information

I went to one Mercury and they would not sell, then went to the one just south of Green belt 3 and they sold to me. I feel not so much the store but the person you are dealing with? Slip them a few pesos, and see what happens.

I replied: "Yes, but I forgot it, I will bring it the next time." I just bought two pieces of 50 mg, as they only had the expensive original. 685 peso a pill."Remember prescription the next time" she said.

Now, the next project will be to find a pharmacy thay sell the generic one.

Ask for the box of 100 mg tabs and break them in half.

50 mg should be plenty.

Freely available over the counter at Mercury Drug in Ortigas in both Shangrila Mall and Robinson's Galleria branches; not available in Watson's. The Mercury in St Francis' tiangge at back of Megamall will not sell it without a prescription.

Different stores have different policies even though they are all Mercury Drug. They are run by different franchisees, so they can have different rules.

I have been to Angeles City lots of times, on this visit to the Philippines I wanted to check out someting new, so I go to Manila. First is EDSA International Entertainment Complex located in Pasay City. It's a building with seven gogo bars inside. I stay at Copacabana hotel just cross the street to be as near as possible (see the Manila Hotels section for a report). I go to the complex at 11 pm, few people there for a Saturday and not all bars are open. The low season. I manage to have a look inside all the bars, and I have a drink in two of them and take out a girl from one. I am not impressed by this place, the possibilities are limited, and it's overpriced, I think. Details: Pitstop, Samba, Space Girls are the best bars. The other ones, Cotton Club, Bullets+Arrows, Firehouse are just OK. Casino, VIP are closed. Compared to AC it is more expensive and not better in any way, on the contrary, I think. It's lacking in atmosphere. All places I drink in have ladies drink for 385 and local drink for 135.

In Space Girls I get eye-contact with this girl Melody, and I invite her down. Beautiful, young and friendly, so I decide to take her home. BF if 1650 and in addition the girl gets 2500 (afterwords). That's 4150 in total. (I forgot to negociate!) Too much. Anyway, we go back to my hotel. We plan to just walk across the bridge, but now it has started to rain as hell! So we take a taxi. 100 for making a turn in the road! Finally in bed the girl is really nice, BBBJ and good FS, but nothing very special. She is a bit reserved, but performs good. An average experience for me. But then, just after one pop she showers and want to leave! I had forgot to make detailed arrangments about the time! Afterwards this irritates me a bit as I now see it was kind of a rip-off with the time / price. Enough with Edsa for me, in the coming week I will investigate the MBC and Havana bars + P. Burgos street.

I been going back and force too to ph since 1986. I nearly always used pay girls. Lesser problem I think. Yesterday I try DIA.

I wake up I get I girl in dia we chat we agree too meet in farmers cubao. So within 4 hours we already in motel. Soo I recomend DIA.

Which means these guys must have been doing large amounts (well maybe?). The article I read said they used cloud technology so the PNP can't access their database LOL. It must be possible but they cannot do it.

But this does seem odd when there are guys all over the country selling the stuff outside hotels.

Maybe another way to bend over for the US and its affliates so the PI government is seen to do something so it can get cash from the USA. As it has bugger all irtself and what it does have is happily spent and taken by the rich elite

There are some truly dumb people in this world, to me PI is a police state when it comes to money, every level of government has their hands in your pocket, so if you want to break international trade laws do it in another country.

So far USA is showing and getting results that they want the police here to do what the USA government wants.
