Manila

[QUOTE=VictorHugo99;2279516]Thanks all for info.

Just a quick question.

How do you book an ECO room for 2 hours, pray tell?

Vic.[/QUOTE]1. Walk inside the hotel to front desk.

2. Tell the clerk you want a room for 2 hours.

3. Pay the money.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2279492]There may be. But that does not mean the girls will go there with you.[/QUOTE]Are the girls concerned about their safety, as they are in Mexico City? Or is it just that they don't want to walk 3 minutes when there is another short time hotel only 2 minutes away?

Unless the monger is worried about her safety. LOL.

Watch the news and take a look around at the place. There's a reason the women are scared to walk around in dresses or anything revealing, and isn't because they think mother mary is watching.

[QUOTE=GrandPop;2279851]Hi Vic,

You can't book that ahead of time. Just walk in and tell reception what you want. I suppose they do run out of rooms sometimes at peak demand times but I don't think that happens very often.[/QUOTE]If they do wait 5 minutes. They are called short time places for a reason.

[QUOTE=KabulGuy;2280206]If they do wait 5 minutes. They are called short time places for a reason.[/QUOTE]Not always true KB.

In most SoGo's there are lots of cubicles in the lobby for couples to wait their turn. I saw all cubicles full at the SoGo opposite Trinoma one Friday evening and I was told the wait would have been more than 1 hour, so I did a U -turn.

I have since asked about the one in Guadalupe and the one near Taft Ave MRT station, and I was told it was always packed on a Friday evening (though I admit I haven't used SoGo for a couple of years).

Please be specific. First, which place is where the women are scared to walk around in a dress, MC or Manila (or both)? Second, why are they scared? I've been to a number of places in Manila and seen women dressed in all manner of dress in many places.

I have seen women completely undressed in Manila, like butt-naked, who looked scared to death. They were in my room just prior to penetration.

Even after so many years of traveling to Manila, I almost fell for scam by taxi drivers.

Over the years I have gotten to know a mamasan at one of the clubs at Burgos Street. She always recommended her best girls.

Well this past week I have been at her club every night. Very satisfied with her selection that I brought back to my hotel for all night of fun.

On Thursday evening I hailed a taxi by Greenbelt 3 to go to Burgos and Makati street. The taxi driver looked at me and told me:. " . Haven't you heard? All Burgos street clubs are closed due to new mayor taking action and sending police there. ".

Hmmmmm. I thought that was odd.

So I hailed the next cab. Who gave me the same "story" that clubs are closed. Being my last night I again wanted to have some fun.

So hailed the THIRD taxi and once again the SAME story.

Luckily I had the cell number of one of her girls and I asked if the club is closed. NO, was the answer!! All is normal and there is no police action here.

So gentlemen, if you hear this story from a cab driver. Who most probably will want to take you to a club where THEY get a commission. Don't fall for it. I almost did!!

Stay safe and enjoy!!

[QUOTE=SaltyPete;2279186]...Packs of our East Asian friends were out in force, walking into bars and turning around if they saw nothing appealing. I have a hard time doing that and usually buy a drink before I leave. You have to get there early before the packs claim the good ones. I found a cutie that they had looked over in Pit Stop...[/QUOTE]I have noticed the same phenomena in AC, during daytime. As soon as a club opens, hordes of them descend on it and pick the best seats, then the best girls. Only 2nd tier are left after they are done picking.

[QUOTE=SaltyPete;2279186]...I think EDSA may be in a death spiral. Fewer lookers (I was told most had moved on to social media) brings in fewer customers, which means less bar fines for the girls, etc. I hope that isn't the case because I prefer to look over a selection of girls while drinking a cold one, over the hit and miss game on social media (ladyboy? Old pic? Never shows up /2 hours of my time wasted waiting for her). I guess I am old fashioned, haha.[/QUOTE]That may become reality soon, and it may be better if we are forced to look somewhere else. That's what happened to me in Colombia, and now I much prefer the social networks for hunting. Once hooked onto them, it becomes much easier to sample new blood, and less expensive than picking them at the clubs. I have not seen the club reaction yet to this phenomena, but I have a feeling they are not going to stand and watch their business slowly disappear.

That is a very high recommendation.
