Manila

Hi, Joel:
Thanks for your posts. The information is precise and helpful.

I would not buy tablets on the street. Based on earlier posts, I believe they are fake.

The Viagra price of 615 P converts to US$12. That is expensive. Are you suggesting Mercury will sell *one* pill only?

[QUOTE=Joel Goodson]Hey X, some additional pharmacy info.

The Viagra tablet, 50mg, cost me 615 Pesos. I also asked the price for Cialis, and was quoted 700 Pesos.

In one of the bars, the price for a package of Cialis costs 1,200 Pesos. A street seller quoted me for a same package 300 Pesos, but I find that price hard to believe. Rather prefer to buy it at Mercury, eventhough it is more expensive.

Guru,

I agree, 12 US is a bit expensive for one pill.

I bought it at Mercury for the same reason as you mention, just to avoid fakes and hassling on the streets.

I asked only for one pill. I guess for that price -the 12 US- they will be happy to sell many.

Cheers,
Joel.

~BKKguru[/QUOTE]Yes Mercury or Watsons is willing to sell one pill only at a time.Cheers

I went to Mercury Drug on Osmena and bought one of those tablet cutters. cost 170p. Better than trying to cut with a knive.

Do all Mercury drugstores sell Cialis without script.

You can find both individual Rose Pharmacies and Mercury Drugs that will sell without prescription, but not all of them will do so. I've found that you're usually better off waiting until a man is available behind the counter, though I've found some women working in the pharmacies who were willing to sell it without script as well. Fortunately, there are so many pharmacies in Manila that you're likely never to be very far from one that will accommodate your needs for Cialis or Viagra.

:D

I bought some C and V off the street in Angeles awhile back and compared it to some some stuff I had taken over. The stuff off the street worked fine...even better on some days then the original stuff I carried over. Of course my research was biased because I was shaggin' a different piece of ass every day, and then again a different piece of ass that same night. I'll try shaggin' some old, ugly, and fat western women to see if my research holds true...or not!

There is a 24 hour pharacy around the corner from Burgos that sells both. If you are coming from Buendia (Puyat), right before you get to Burgos there is a restaurant that sells the meat on the sticks. There is a small pharmacy right next to it (to the right if you are facing it) with a counter. Just ask them for it and they will give it to you. I don't know the prices because I've never bought it but my BIL goes there all of the time.

It is called Pharma Quick located beside Quick Stomach,The other is called E Mart on Makati avenue infront of City Garden,besides the Shakeys Pizza Parlor

I read on a website, that sometimes some action can be found in Robinson's plaza.

Went there last weekend to check it out, but could not see of any. It looks very similar to mall hunting as anywhere else in Asia, requiring a good nose and some available time to invest, I guess. Didn't have any luck and unfortunately lacked time.

Here are some pics of girls I had drinks and a chat with, nothing else. They just smiled at me as they were passing by and when I smiled back they were too happy to join for a drink.

No freelancers, just ordinary girls. I was attracted by the second set of girls at McD. The one in the foreground worked at a travel agent and wanted to come with me back to my hotel. Talking to her however, she looked a bit high in maintenance and as I had plans to go to Makati that nite, I politely said no.

LAC, my gf works there on the groundfloor and she refers it as "my office". Well out of six appearances a week she might get 2-4 hits. 3 is her average.

We are in Angeles together and guys there is some very tasty totty here.

Tomorrow im going to Cebu alone for three nights (hopefully GF monthly cycle has arrived by then) so should have something to report on that wonderful city but staying in cheap digs.

3 per week seems a low but fair hitrate. I guess that will be the avarage for many freelance girls working in LA/Amazonia/Gpoint?

Making a quick calculation - 3 hits at 1500, will be 4500 Pesos. So say, the average pretty freelancer earns around 5000 Pesos per week in the freelance cafes? That's around 100 USD per week. Will that be a fair estimate?

How would this compare to Makati bar earnings?

Cheers,
Joel.

I stayed several days at Amazonia, My buddy stayed there a couple weeks. It is not only a short time, but you can stay longer. The rooms are real clean, furnishings new. I think the desk has decent security. If you want to be in the middle of the action for cheap, this would be your place. The real drawback is the rooms are LOUD! sometimes it sounds like a Jeepny is driving right thru your room, crank up the TV, bring earplugs to sleep. Shades dont really darken room either, so I slept with sunglasses on after I partied hard. Also, you go right thru the bar to get to your room, so some of your earlier conquests may see who you come and go. But if youre looking for a clean place to crash, shower and shag, you cant beat the price.

Me and my mates stayed at Swagman a few days and I got a real nice room but my buddy got a room with cold tile floor with a 13" TV across the room. Same price so YMMV. I was joking that he needed binoculars to watch TV haha

[QUOTE=Joel Goodson]Bill, the girls will be able to tell you, no doubt.

I think the Sogo will cost you 200 Pesos, but I haven't been there.

Amazonia hotel, across the road from LA Cafe, has rooms upstairs. The rooms are 550 for 3 hours, are clean and have shower and TV. These rooms are actually quite nice for a ST hotel.

Amazonia has also what they call VIP rooms, but there is absolutely nothing "VIP" about it. No bed, only chairs/couch and a lousy bathroom. I think these rooms cost 300 pesos.

There's another short time hotel available, on Mabini. Pls see my post in the photo gallery. Costs 450, clean but no shower in the room.

If you don't mind spending an extra 100 Pesos, it might be better to choose a ST room in Amazonia.

Passed through Manila Thursday morning. The SFO flight arrrived early, 4:30 am and my connecting flight was at 12:00. Called (woked up actually) a friend who works at Star Trek and she was more than glad to meet. She picked me up at the airport at 5:30 am and we went to Victoria Court. (MOTEL RATE 1650 PHP for 5 hours.) Had a shower and jacuzzi with my friend, and it was a great refresher to be bathed, sucked and fucked... She was a great BBBJ girl, 22, cute, petite and was a great cowgirl too.
Was it 3 or 4 rounds of "waking up sex"? Left Victoria 9:30 am very awake and refreshed, gave my friend 1,500 PHP, and off i went to catch my transit flight. I love Manila.
