Ending my 1-month trip in Manila
Just returned from a one-month trip to the Philippines between February 20 and March 19,2024. Reports are posted in the 3 areas visited: Makati, Angles City and Manila. Please look for my handle under each city to view all reports.
See report #1 in the Makati board.
See report #'s 2-9 in the Angeles City board.
Report #10 - Manila.
I left Angeles City around noon when my scheduled car service arrived at Score Birds Hotel. Checked into the New Coast Hotel a little before 2:00 pm for the night. I like this hotel, upscale, modern, and clean. Plus, it's about one block from Midnight Heaven Cafe (formerly LA Cafe), which was the reason I selected it. I took a trip to the Manila hard Rock Cafe to buy shot glasses and T-shirts, plus grab a glass of a local craft beer. Then back to the hotel to grab a shower and head over to the cafe to scope the freelancer scene.
I grabbed a bite and a drink at the cafe and settled in to chat up potential opportunities. After about 20 minutes, I connected with Jen; 27 years old, 2 babies, 4'10" and a decent thin body. Now I will admit I failed to observe a critical rule: Always FULLY negotiate before you get naked. I forgot to clearly specify certain issues, like where I would finish until I was ready to, um. Finish. That increased the total cost from 5,000 p to 7,000 p. Not a life changing issue. Maybe $40 US more than I originally agreed to. But I was way under budget for the one-month trip so just a minor annoyance, really.
I finished in my desired location and we both cleaned up in the shower. She slipped the door and I went to sleep, needing to be up at 6:00 am to checkout and head to the airport for my flight home.
