General Information

this place is a must stop for anybody who happens to be in the area. billed as the "las vegas" of cebu, it is located in the mandaue reclamation area adjacent to the new cebu international convention center and has been open since febuary '07.

talking with one of the german owners, he has some lofty goals for this complex which only consists of 2 bars at the moment. he envisions an "edsa" type entertainment center which would house several of the best bars in the philippines.

the two bars are called "bounty" and "egypt". the latter is a cavernous space with a high ceiling and balcony. the friday night i went, i counted over 30 dancers all of which were young and of high quality and some spoke good english. they were playing mostly rock & roll oldies through a great sounding pa system for a mostly western clientele. the drink selection is extensive with ld starting at p185 up to p250. bf is p950 + tip (suggested tip is p2000+)

only took a peek at the nautical themed "bounty" next door which is smaller and more intimate, complete with a pool table. if everything remains the same at ibc, it is only a matter of time before it will be the place to go in cebu.

i.m.o its a couple of nice bars in the middle of no where with average girls and drink prices that are way over priced. more bang for your buck at mango or lisa'a bar. just my thoughts only.

And Kahlil Gibran says :

"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give".

With the girls , I give of myself , but at the end of the day , they still want my money , lol.

Merry Christmas ya'll.

Thanks for the tip Sxxxx. I did try Badger earlier in the year but arrived at 9.30pm and they were closing up! So I went to the Waterfront casino instead

Glad to see you have read Kahlil , where he says in the other half :

"The trick is , not to splash the cash and not to be mean , but to strike a compromise in between".

Bottom line is , it's your money , do what you want with it. Happy mongering fella's. It's the killing season.

Girls need that hard cash during and immediately after xmas/new year season more than at any other time. Lucky you , for being there right now. Time to move in for the kill , lol.

Most of all the girls go back to their province to spend the holidays with their family. There are so many more mongers becuase I guess most have proper jobs and may be able to get some time off of work.

I spent last New Years in AC with some friends. That was a mistake. A lot less girls, a lot more mongers.

A lot of the hot girls who have been getting money sent to them during the rest of the year do not need to work during the holidays. If the guy plans his vacation this time of year, he is going to spend it with her. The malls are packed right now with mongers and their girls.

Unfortunately I was in my own little world when posting before. I was thinking of the girls that I target , ones not employed in the sex trade. So Angeles City girls are not relevant in my case.

Yes the sex trade girls are a different kettle of fish around Xmas/New Year period. Forgive me fella's , was commenting on how Xmas/New Year is for me and like minded lads who toil and connive a bit harder to get the regular girls.

Regular girls who are residents of Cebu City , need money for family , more than ever , during this important xmas/new year season. Anyway I have found these girls are more susceptible to overtures during this period. You need a different approach of course , and be prepared for embarrassing knock backs or worse , lol.

Yes , I do end up giving them money whatever , so you could say they are informally trading sex for money if you like. I have my reasons for preferring this type of girl.

Will let others continue on with this subject , if they wish. Will now have a break from ISG for a while. Happy New Year ya'll.

I just got back from Xmas in Camotes with the family- I left Camotes 8AM, arrived in Mactan 3 hours later- running 9-10 knots; 31.3 knots total distance-

No major problems- baling a lot of water- from a bad propeller shaft seal- Minor cooling system leak, steering system total bust up; but we have a tiller for backup- Small stuff- what you expect in a 20 year old boat, or truck or whatever... Once it's all dialled in, It should be a little faster, & a fun, reliable ride. It needs a different propeller, I think, as I am using the propeller that came with the original motor in the boat, & the new motor is more powerful & has a higher idle RPM. We are not opening the throttle up all the way until we fix the other stuff.

The Sea was dead calm; we ran into a heavy rain downpour just off Mactan Island

I'm trying to get a small tender to take us & our stuff out to the boat- &/or a small outboard motor-

I'm working on a larger boat on Camotes- it pretty much needs everything, but it should carry more stuff & be faster if I ever finish it.

Regards to all & the Very Best of the season!!

I hope to head back to Camotes January 4, for a few days.

Now, like all good sailors I am off to hit the bars with my sweety in tow--I favor Viking, but given my advanced age & general decrepitude, the new layout has me a little confused & disoriented

[QUOTE=X Man]Cherry blossom C00826575

Has anyone met this one? Looks good and slim for a 29yr old....tells me she spent last weekend on Bohol. WHich one of you dogs been humping this gal on Alona beach?

X Man[/QUOTE]I chatted with her also, she tells me she loves me very much, how is with you?

Can anyone that lives in Cebu 12 months out of the year confirm this?

I myself don't see any regular Filipina getting motivated to hide the salami with some stranger for money just because it is the holidays. I myself don't find anyone doing much of anything during the holidays other than spending time with their family and relaxing.

If you think Pinays in general are in more in a work mode during the xmas/new year season ... you should explain your theory to all the companies who shut down during this week because either all their employees are in the province... or there is documented stats there is less productivity over all during the holiday season.

Unless you are using some other techniques we don't know about ... like riding around in a Jeepney with FREE CANDY painted on the side... or dropping some roofies in Noche Buena drinks.

[QUOTE=Don Roberts] I favor Viking, but given my advanced age & general decrepitude, the new layout has me a little confused & disoriented[/QUOTE]I am pissed becuase when they redid the bar they took away one of the best secret VIPS areas in the city.

RIP Viking's VIP area :(

Yes, some of my happiest 1/2 hours have been spent in VIP rooms around Asia- trying to bang some cutie of the hour in one of those little plastic chairs that often won't hold the weight of your average porriner, while trying not to touch the black greasy floor. This is in the native bars. In the more upmarket places catering to the kano/tourist trade, the experience was often enriched by reclining on little couches covered in red velveteen & body fluids, & with availabe KTV.

A series of police raids forced the closure of most of these wonderful sleazy little places, & although I miss the immediacy of the experience (important to an old guy like me whose Viagra fuelled hard-on might not survive to Queensland) & the convenience of discovering that I have a starfish right away so I can make another selection from the bar out front.

The closure has probably saved me from a few loathsome diseases, though.
Several cuties in Viking last night, although the mamasan told me that 9 girls(out of 40) had already been barfined by 10 PM.

Guys
Heading back to Cebu in two weeks time for a five night stay.

Was there two years ago and recall finding budget / mid-range priced hotel accomodation grotty / antiquated and expensive at best.

Would like to stay in a hotel that is clean, with internet/wi-fi access and and a bathroom that has decent drainage. All the reviews on asiarooms.com are mixed, so I turn to you guys for advice.

US$30 per night.

Cheers
