Who takes a trip half way around the world to have a fist fight while on vacation? Come on guys, you are all being ridiculous at this point. Let it go. It's not so serious.

[QUOTE=Sharka; 1301195]Last time I was there and paying any attention, I thought High Society was a bar much like Blue Niles but just heard it has been turned into a disco. I thought Skytraxs was the only disco in the Fields area but guess they now have competition.
Anyone been to High Society? Does it have a cover charge like Skytrax (I think SkyT was 150p admission but this included one drink).
So is High Society the "in" place to pick up FL rather than Sky?[/QUOTE]High society was a disco from day one. Its owned by the LGH group. No cover charge, at least at times I have been. SkyT has 150p only on Friday and saturdays and I belive and its free every other night.
Yes High Society is the IN place rather the SkyT. Don't know about freelancers, there are girls there but a lot of them a bargirls barhoping with clients or groups of locals. Don't assume everyone is a freelancer LOL. Anyway in AC its kind of stupid to look for freelancers considering the cheap barfine. Don't know about you but the $10 or so you may save is just not worth the risk of some broad trying to rob me in the room or renag on our deal. Don't get me wrong I am all for it in other parts of Phils but in AC I see no point chassing freelancers IMO.
[QUOTE=Vielendank;1301214]I keep hearing about people being drugged and for me it's not an issue as I never leave my drink / beer unattended (even when I go to the bathroom) and I don't eat anything unless it's been put in front of my by a waiter or waitress. I won't "try" something if a girl asks me too.[/QUOTE]Shit like that happens in Thailand and few other countries in SEA but NOT in phils especially not in AC. Its way to expensive for a bar girl to get that sort of drugs and run that kind of scheme in a place like AC where bars and hotels rely on the tourists. Even in Thailand it happens at high end places or known expats that have cash at their place. The thing you should watch out is the ICE. Smaller bars are not very pedantic and don't care if it falls on the floor or gets dirty. You can get sick very easy from it. Another thing is fresh salad. Its washed with tap water. OK in Manila, not so in AC if you have a sensitive stomach like me.
[QUOTE=Rick Rock;1301095]You are probably right. Any recommendations on where to go? Truth is, I don't have insurance or a ton of money, and I'm deathly afraid of doctors.[/QUOTE]Ask the bargirls about the one handed doctor (yes he has only one hand) near the cotton club. Basically get in a trike and ask the driver to take you to the STD clinic near the cotton club on perimeter Road. Its 20-30 meters from the cotton club and I think you have to go upstages. Look at the signage there you should see it or ask someone near there. He is the BEST. All he does is STD's and he does it on the spot in most cases. Few expats that live in AC have recommended him. Sorry I don't have any more details I have never been there myself but my wingman had to go few months ago and he got everything he needed including prescriptions from the doc on the spot in less than an hour. He went early when the clinic opened up. I hope this helps.
[QUOTE=Vielendank;1301389]I don't go there for vacation but for work. Also, no one said anything about a fist fight. When someone attacks me personally then I would rather discuss it in person then on this forum. No one needs to hear this shit but if the person that has issues with me and likes to make it personal I would rather meet in person over a beer. He's a coward anyway and would never meet me. There is a big difference making a counterpoint on something someone said and making personal attacks. LPB needs to learn the difference and not everyone is going to take his shit and ignore it.[/QUOTE]Your invitation, subsequent posts and name calling to him sure sounds like you're inviting him for fight, people are usually not this insistent on meeting strangers they disagree with for a beer.
[QUOTE=Gunshy;1299821]I'm taking the bus from Manila to catch a 4:10 pm Air Asia flight to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. This flight is much cheaper from Angeles City than from Manila. Mongering is not the primary reason for my travels, but I don't mind having some fun if it fit my travel plans.[/QUOTE]Cool this makes sense now. I think you had all of off the track even I thought you are coming in to phils via clark only to transfer latter on a flight to cebu or somewhere. Please be more specific in future.
Anyway my advise to you is go down Fields Avenue and look at some of the big 24 hour bars. ATLANTIS, GENESIS, one of BLUE or GOLDEN NILE also VOODOO (I think it was voodoo, definitely the one next to the DEVIL WITCH is 24hrs) and few others. There is 200 or so girls to chose from so I am sure you will find what you are looking for. Ask on the street they will point you in the right direction.
I have gone hunting around 5-6am twice after an early flight in to AC and I was surprised of some the quality thats on offer even at that time in the morning. What I would suggest to you is make sure you interview the girl properly and identify if she has been on stage all night or just started. You don't want a girl that has been on all night and its about to end her shift.
DIA can be useful but I would NOT recommend in your case. Yes DIA works in AC but there are 2 types of girls that are on it. Bar girls which would know whats the score and will charge you same as the barfine in their bar anyway so whats the point, you may as well have a look and pick up from the 200 or so in the bars at the time. 2nd type is non bar girls but they tend to be more difficult because they wear the stigma of the bar girls and almost every foreigner sees and treats them as bar girls so they tend to avoid us altogether especially if you are staying around fields or its a short time stop over. Bottom line is its not worth the time in your case. Having said all this its a different story if you spend 2-3 weeks then by all means pursue it.
Anyway good luck, please report back you have had some great advice from lot of people here and I am sure many of us want to know what happened.
[QUOTE=Vielendank;1301407]Everyone has different interpretations. I was giving him an opporunity to talk to me face to face about issues that I assume he had with me. I wasn't talking to him, never inititated a conversation with him, and he started talking shit. I just thought that since he had issues, and I go there regularly for work, that we could discuss it in person instead of on this forum. But, he apparently doesn't want to do that. I'm done with him and F3 as they aren't worth my time. If you read most of my posts you will see that I offer advice or ask questions in a respectful way. If someone attacks me, I will attack back. I'm not going to ignore it especially when it's a personal comment he / they made. Don't worry I have no intention of talking or responding to F3 or Little Pussy Boy anymore.[/QUOTE]It would be an absolute tragedy if you you met up and both killed each other but at least then we wouldn't have to put up with this childish saga being played out on the board. Please girls calm down.
I think we can agree or disagree but there is no point and no advantage to shout loud hard definitions. The target will care the less (why should I care if a total stranger I don't even know the face of calls me by name or think I am an idiot). The attacker will have his own little and solitary satisfaction (that I define a mental masturbation). I don't agree and made it public on this over enforcement (written only, BTW, with no action) about the unwritten rule in the PG. But I don't see the point in calling names, define his partners and so on, the guy who has that opinion. Different POV's for sure. Will I be correct if I call him idiot? Don't think so! Will he be oissing I his pants reding that Bionicman rates him an idiot. No way. He (and I would do the same) can care the less. Something is explaining and defending one's position, opinion. Something else is defining what his partners are, especially if totally uknown, therefore the definition is purely fictitious and virtual.
I stay correct in my critic, but I let the guy be as, ultimately, we are talking about a FF (yes, those two F's are part of the RTFF acronymous!)
Do we need this?
Amen.
