Manila

[QUOTE=Commonglass;2009795]I'm not sure that there's anything wrong, but I like the idea of getting checked out before I leave town. Does anyone have a doc or clinic that they'd recommend?[/QUOTE]You might post and ask someone to PM you someone specific. There is a safe sex section for PI and you could also google. If you have an international emergency package like SOS you can ask them for a referral. You can probably ask them anyway as they have an office in Manila. You could also try Healthway. It is not rocket science to run the labs and diagnose. You just want speed, accuracy and a copy of the results. You can then confirm with your primary as to the treatment. But get the scrips anyway. IMHO.

[QUOTE=Commonglass;2009795]I'm not sure that there's anything wrong, but I like the idea of getting checked out before I leave town.

Some of the tests take a few days for the results. All the labs for all the STIs excluding HPV will cost about p15,000. The major hassle with a big hospital is waiting to pay your fees and then waiting to be called into the lab for the tests.

Some of the city governments have testing too; you can google (name of city) Social Hygiene Clinic to determine if there's one near you.

Thanks much for your information.[/QUOTE]The question for a ST hotel was asked recently. There are several if you look at the website I mentioned. There are several and it depends on what level you are looking for.

Just a block or two south from LAC between Roxas and Del Pilar. Five-star hotel. It's beyond my means but I have had drinks on the rooftop bar where they have some good music and umbrella drinks.

None of the ST places are even half-way high end.

Diamond Hotel as mentioned by Pomp is a very specific Japanese-frequented hotel and "allows" smoking throughout. Most rooms stink to high heaven of cigarettes. The roof-top bar is very nice though (as Pomp said).

They are very friendly. And the breakfast buffet is superb. The pool is small.

If you feel adventurous, there are several small local girly bars within a block of the Pan Pacific. Ask the concierge. I was tempted to stop in a couple but was already with my girl for the evening.

Robinson's Mall is maybe a 10-15 minute walk and offers good dinning options. You will pass a nice Spa on the way. The spa directly across from Pan Pacific is not all that nice.

Add your observations when you have time, have fun!

Higher end hotel will appear on normal hotel websites. Some exclusive hotels do not. Though I have noticed ST dumps appearing on major hotel sites. The, what looks like a PI site, site I mentioned in my post is a map of hotels and will show stars and price when the mouse hovers over it. Just zoom in and out. It does not specify ST though the ST hotels mentioned were on the map. Diamond was there. The price that pops up is I assume a normal stay price. All I am saying, is that it should work for most levels of hotels. (Even member and club hotels now appear on the Internet).

Quick question fellas, what time does EDSA and the popular bars in P Burgos close? My flight is coming very late Thursday night, and wanted to see if I can get some company (hopefully not the unwanted leftovers like at dace clubs haha) for the night. I remember leaving those places at 2 am but the good / great options dwindle after 11 pm, but I probably won't be arriving to either places until after 2 am.

Thanks in advance.

GE.

I walked into Plan be on P. Burgos on a Thursday night around 3 o'clock last month (also landed late) and there were still about 30 girls around and some customers. I did need to make a quick choice though as by 3. 45 the place was closing down and girls were going to change clothes.

If I don't know the answer to a question I just sit back and shut up.

These two responses are not terribly helpful to the OP.

The OP specifically mentioned he is landing late Thursday night, and I specifically mentioned that I landed on a late Thursday night last month, and was able to find company in Plan Be around 3. 15 and was asked to leave by 3. 45.

Maybe our definition of helpful infomation is a bit different, I merely placed a disclaimer of uncertainty on other cases (as some board members get overly critical on advice they think is maybe not 100% correct in their experience though are not sure themselves) but the specific response I had was from 4 weeks ago and an exact match to OPs case.

Enjoy,

Dave.
