Manila

[QUOTE=Hutsori;1710828]Age is important, and proper attire even more so. As one of Manila's oldest free-lancer clubs LA Cafe is very traditional, as you'd expect. After 6 pm a dinner jacket is a must; in the hottest months of May and June you may wear Red Sea rig. Don't commit a faux pas by wearing a watch or oxford shoes, substituting a buttoned shirt for studs and links, or thinking no one will notice if you fail to wear a cummerbund. Whenever in doubt always chose downside up over upside down.

The codgers and crusties hang out at G Point, there the dress code is much more relaxed. Scandalously so. Pfft... pensioners. Wear your dancin' shoes.[/QUOTE]Well said Huts, and don't forget that black, patent leather pumps are never inappropriate.

For some people 'long-time' means the opportunity to fuck a girl as many times as possible, to get full bang for their bucks. But for me I enjoy sleeping curled up with a girl and then sometimes having sex again in the morning. Jonalyn was brilliant. She hugged up to me all night and would randomly wake me with kisses. This is the kind of intimacy I look for.

I warned her about stealing too much of the bed again and she jokingly pretended to draw a line down the middle to divide the bed in half. A few minutes after the lights went off she whispered "you can come in to my half if you like". We fell asleep arm-in-arm.[/QUOTE]Love the reports!

I was in the Philippines about a year ago for a month. I spent time in Manila and Angeles City, as well as Subic Bay, Bohol, Palawan and Boracay. I hated Manila. I didn't have much use for Angeles City or Subic Bay either. I figured I'd never go back. Your reports are making me think twice. Thanks.

I went to the toilet and there was a Filipino man handing out towels next to the sink, a pet hate of mine. Earlier in the night I'd given him a small tip but this time I walked towards the door without giving him anything. He grabbed my arm to prevent me from leaving and nodded aggressively towards the tray. I shrugged him off, gave him a glare and walked out. I'm a generous tipper but it's ridiculous that he expected me to tip every time I went to the toilet. I certainly didn't appreciate being man-handled by him.

[/QUOTE]First off, great posts. It seems I need to reconsider my views of the Philippines. More field research appears to be needed.

Regarding your experience with the "handler" in the bathroom, isn't that annoying? I hate it when two guys come up behind me while I'm standing at a urinal and try to give me a massage. The instant their hands touch me, I cringe. I know how to take a [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url]. I know how to wash my hands. If I'm in Thailand, I also know where to go if I want a set of hands touching me (which is, if the night is going well, right back out to the dance floor where (discounting the ladyboys) the hands are very likely to be female).

When I was last in Thailand, the Marine Disco had "handlers" like this and they had tip plates, each with a crisp 100 Baht bill in them. Imagine! Like you, one night I walked out after dishing out some change and got grumbles. A few nights later, I walked out without dishing out anything and got my arm grabbed.

What I can't understand is why establishments put up with these clowns. I can't imagine they generate a lot of income for the club, but I know in my case (and Ill be in the case of a lot of other guys too), if I have a choice between a place with "handlers" and a place where I can [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] in peace, all other things being equal, I'll take my business to the latter.

I woke up on the last day of my trip with Jonalyn curled up to me.


THE END (phew!).[/QUOTE]Great report, can't wait to hit Manila in a few months.

Once with a girl, resident of Fairview, I took air-con bus going up Taft Avenue. Coming back, took FX the same route. I don't know that taxi will really be faster.

Only in this city with some of the worst traffic congestion in the world will they schedule a frigg'and large parade with floats, marching bands and the whole works on a Friday at 6:00 pm On Roxas Blvd. , during rush hour (s). The parade is at least a half mile long. Southbound traffic on Roxas is closed. Forethought was never a strong suit of these people. I was actually surprised by this. Usually at this locale I see / hear parades at 7:00 am On Sunday mornings going down Quirino to Roxas. Perhaps they didn't want to interfere with people going to church with this one.

[QUOTE=Ikksman;1705335]I am extremely tolerant wrt bad spelling and grammar, but sometimes poor English can impart the wrong meaning or at least confuse the reader.

[B]Troll[/B]
One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers.

Perhaps "trawl" was the word intended to be used. Some (many?) readers would not pick this up, and thus the esteemed [I]JacktheLad2[/I] could hereafter be labelled a "troll" in the minds of those readers.

Or perhaps the writer deliberately labelled our [I]Lad[/I] as a "troll"? But who knows, unless the question is raised!

Other common potentially misleading errors include:
Using the word "inciteful" when "insightful" was the intended meaning.
Failing to distinguish between HKD and USD (or other $) - might be obvious to HK residents and frequent visitors, but . . .

[QUOTE=Boarer;1709053]Yikes! There be a troll (or [B]Troll[/B]) in this here forum with a big pole sticking out of its eye (maybe arse) and a foot in its mouth (or both feet)!

To paraphrase something else written a couple millennia ago, we are fishermen. IMHO, JTL might have better luck with a handsum wallet as a lure. Good for catching ladies and sailfish. Though, for the latter, the captain usually takes a much bigger bite than many ladies.

Many ladies will ask you to buy them a dildo later, in private.

Cost was P1000 from a decent driver.

Went to meet a girl there who was having a 21st birthday. Driver waited for us whilst we played hide and seek in the mall and the normal " where are you, I'm here" nonsense. He then drove us back to Makati where girl and I had a beer or two. Then girls phone rang and apparently it was her mother telling the girl to get home now. Fortunately one of the Makati massage ladies found me on wechat and my disappointment at suddenly being single didn't last for long.

GE.[/QUOTE]Just wondering about registering for Uber in Manila - 1. Do you need a local credit card or will an overseas card be OK 2. Is it best to register in your home country first and does it work in other countries if you are already registered in another country?

Arrived today by Emirates 4 pm. Texted one girl while taxiing to the arrival gate saying she should be present my hotel right away (I was giving her some slack and no time limits Westie, just right away explaining I was just arriving). I chose a girl I knew live in Pasay so I actually pass this area on my way to my new favorite hotel, New World Manila Bay. She said ok she would come meet me. Before even bags start coming in baggage claim area she told she was on her way. Luckely I got my bag as nr 3, picked up my bag and ran into the hotels Toyota waiting for me.

Driver managed to get me to my hotel within 50 min and that is not to bad from T3(despite rush hours, he knew a lot of small roads, not roads etc etc). I will advice arriving this hours before i have once used 1hr 30min from T3 to Ascott Makati(no more than 5-6km and New World much further). Still I arrived after my date and SHE was complaining I was late, hehe. That is a new twist since we are sometimes complaining about latecommers.

Truly I claimed I was horny so we just dived into bed and fucked. I popped quite fast inside her. I felt after 5 min of unwinding ready for another go so we fucked again. She surprised me by beeing curious about A+ service so I popped it in her barn. 15 min later I finished and we parted despite her question: "can we hang out tonight, maybe go clubbing or sth"(I refused pulling a white on her stating I have some meetings in the evening. Which is partially true as a new girl is on her way from Makati to my place as I write.

All in all 35 minutes or so of intense love making. Thats the way to go guys.

As a side note: favorite hotel equal to Ascott i mean. I hate the Malate area but here i just stay inside the hotel premises(maybe a 7/11 visit but mostly i get the staff to arrange shopping there if i want Tanduays as the hotel dont have this brand).

I'm doing business elsewhere in Asia and my connecting flight has me on the ground long in Manila and I can stretch it to 24 hours for free so I have an opportunity for a quick experience in a new place.

Do any of the PI pros have a suggestion on a perfect 24 hour PI experience? Does it require going into Manila proper or is it easy to get a nice place near the airport and still get an awesome PI experience?

I'm well experienced in HKG and TPE but I've ben really curious about a PI fling and now I have an opportunity.

Gentlemen, tell me what you would do if you hit the airport and had 24 hours.

Many thanks!
