Thanks, it never occurred to me to fly into Clarks. I do need to end up in Manila because I have some work related stuff there for a few days, but I could fly into Clarks and then travel to Manila. Assuming there are flights from HK to Clarks (I will check later).

May I ask why it's so much better to fly into Clarks? I'm asking so that I can use that as an excuse to fly there rather than into Manila.

Thank you!

Is quieter and smaller. You seem to ask a lot of questions.

That's 29 posts so far regarding this guy and his situation. Maybe we should move on from this topic or rename this thread as Alexandra2525 and his hotel situation?

It a much less busy airport. Only a few flights a day go there. No waits at immigration etc. And its only 10 min to pussy instead of 3 hours from Manila.

If I were you, I would make a reservation at a hotel in Manila. Pay in advance so you have a receipt to show anyone who asks. Then actually stay at the ABC in Angeles. This strategy costs a little more, but it covers your tracks.

Just stay at the ABC. Having recently stayed there, it is ideal for a 2-3 night punting trip. Better than Manila. Yes, in Manila, the girls are better looking overall. But its way spread out, and you have to deal with traffic. With AC its point and shoot. I like that. The overall talent level is a little lower, but the way I see it, you are not trying to be with ALL of them, just one or two a night. And you can always find one or two that are to your liking. The only one that matters is the one you bring back to your hotel. It doesn't matter of she was the only good looking one in the bar.

You also have the advantage of flying in and out of Angeles. You can say that its easier and more reliable, which is absolutely true. After flying through Clark, I am NEVER going to fly out of Manila ever again.

I don't know why everybody's saying that the girls in AC are not good looking, I spent Saturday evening at Kokomos, and I saw more gorgeous girls walking up and down the street than ever before, usually in pairs, and no, they were no ladyboys. I just walked around the stage in Lollipop, and there were plenty of good looking ones on display. I didn't sample the products because I had two in tow all week long already. Yes lots of Jolly Bee's enthusiasts also, but it seems that there is a market for those too, also it seems that 3 somes became the norm lately, as I saw lots of guys leaving the bars with 2 girls.

The koreans were not a heavy presence as usual, I don't know what happened. I'm in Boracay now, and a year ago it was like being in Korea Town, no koreans at all now, I don't know what happened here also, I'm one of the few foreigners, and the rest is flocks of chubby filipinas, taking time away from their busy schedule at the call centers. My GF says that is cherry blossom time in Korea, and that's probably the reason why we see no koreans in Boracay.

Thanks, appreciate your input.

Then maybe Subic or Sabang are better options. All I need is plausible deniability, it doesn't matter if there is a 'nightlife' there as long as that's not the only thing that is there ie like Angeles / Clark.

Good shout but it looks like it's a 2 hour hike in each direction. Not sure I fancy that in 30 degree heat with a hangover LOL.

Anything a bit more sedentary that you can suggest? LOL.

Travel agents are full of such choices. I use Beeway Travel in Angeles. It doeas not take a lot of brains to walk into a travel agent in Manila, take a few notes on tours of the bay etc ad say that is what you were doing.

Don't ask me for Beeway's details; they are on FB.

[Alexandra2525]

Hike the volcano, that's an activity that brings you to Angeles.

Thanks for understanding, obviously I didn't want to give too many personal details out but you get my drift.

I'm just worried I might go a bit stir crazy in Manila for 10 days, only a few days of that is work. I'll also be asked what I did in those spare days!

As long as I can find tourist type day trips from Manila (both for my sanity and as proof of my activities) then I could do the whole stint in Manila.....but it would be a shame not to see a little more of Ph since I've come such a long way.

Appreciate your help buddy.

Stay in Manila, adapt to the situation, and make the best of it. If the situation is fuzzy, and complicated like you say, is not worth jeopardizing your marriage by thinking with the little head. I was married twice 22 y and 8 y, I was constantly mongering, they never even suspected that, and both marriages ended amiably, for a different reason than cheating.

When she Googles Angeles or Clark, it leaves nothing to the imagination. Googling Subic or Sabang gives plausible denial but both have plenty of night time options. They are only a few hours from Manila.

I have something work related in Manila for a few days and since I've come all the way there it's very reasonable to add some days on for 'tourist' stuff.

Domestic situation knows that there is nothing work related for me outside of Manila so anywhere else I stay needs to have a tourist angle.

That's basically it in a nutshell.

I think I can make the tourist angle justification for staying in Clarks, I just need to look into it a little more.

Thank you.

Manila traffic is terrible, I wouldn't waste my time commuting to Clark.

Don't know how much free time you have to hobby, but if you got some coin. Not on a budget?
I'd do all my "sticking" in MNL. In general, MNL has the best looking girls in the Pi.

If you're free day time go to Malate and poke your head in the good old Manila Bay Cafe (it has a new name).Also at night time (open 24 hrs).
Night time go chasing tail in Makati Burgos st.

You can also find on-line action YMMV? Just my 2 cents opinion, have fun.
