General Info

[QUOTE=CallSignPapa;2023163]Whether you go to Valk, Royal or Penthouse, you won't find overtly obvious WGs. However on a Friday or Saturday night it is virtually impossible to leave empty handed. You really don't need a table, if you spent a fraction of that money buying some girls drinks, you'll be very popular. Royal is smaller but definitely has a higher female to male ratio. Valkyrie is huge, but there's lots of bar space to hang by and after 1 am when the girls are getting a little bit merry, it's very easy to start up conversations.

As with all things, be friendly, generous and funny and you'll get what you need.[/QUOTE]Thanks a lot papa. That's very helpful, I can't wait till June.

WC.[/QUOTE]A lot of the standard sim cards now have perforations that permit you to break them down to the two smaller sizes as well--micro sim and nano sim.

WC.[/QUOTE]Go to the first SMART booth you see at the airport and they will give you a free SIM of any size you need.

[QUOTE=Golfinho;2023417]Free, provided you buy some credits from them for your new SIM card.[/QUOTE]That's true, but a new SIM without credits purchased anywhere will cost you 35 pisos so it's close enough to free anyway you look at it.

I bought one in a mall an hour or so back to check the system.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this very general question.

I'm reading the forum on a mobile device and quite often I get this message:

I try going back and refreshing and I get the same thing. Anyone knows why I get this?

Cheers.

Thanks a lot.

I did! The gal was busy texting and when she finally looked up I said, "sorry to bother you". No wait, I'm imagining things. She never bothered to look up. I bought a Globe card later since my older Smarty was still working.

So I been looking on here and I keep seeing different things on price of transportation. I land in Manila around 12 am. So I am not getting out till almost 1 am. So I need to take a taxi to my hotel. Is it cheaper to grab a taxi or and uber. OR should I just let my hotel send me a car that will cost me 2,900 pesos.

Do they have banks there I can go to and withdraw a large amount of money out or do I have to go to an ATM. I know in Dominican republic there are certain banks I can go to with my card and grab a large amount of money out.

Taxi from Manila airport to Malate was around 400 I think.

In Davao I was able to withdraw 10000 peso from ATM. I didn't try more as I had no need to. But I guess that depends on your withdrawal limit and the ATM you are using.

Maybe someone else can give you better info but that's all I can offer.

SNIP.[/QUOTE]I recently returned from my first trip. I preferred using Grab Taxi over other options. I waited for 20 minutes in the metered taxi queue when I arrived then the driver claimed that the meter was broken in his new car. Even on trips across town with Grab I rarely spent over 200 pesos. When I would flag a passing meter taxi about 50% of the time they would not want to use the meter and would quote me 200 pesos. Most of those fares came in around 70. Not sure what 2900 from your hotel would get you. Perhaps an entertainer is included to drive you on your way to the room?

Hello all,

After spending a month in BKK I will be spending another month in the Philippines. I imagined Manila would be the best location for mongering and picking up girls. Is that so? (I'm mostly into freelancers / street scene). I read that other areas such as Angeles City and Quezon City are good but are they better in any way? How about any beach areas on Luzon with good action (Pattaya equivalent?

Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry, I should have mention. That I am going to AC when I land there.
