If you fly Cebu pacific you'll end up at NAIA Terminal 3.
Right after the customs there are some cafés and shops. In the middle there is a "DeliFrance" and on the left there is a Chaikofi.
The password for the wifi of that place is " vanillafrappe " (valid on March 3rd 2010 at least)
I'm mentionning this because this place has crappy cafe. So with this pass you can log from the other cafe.
Eventually the password will change so no need to bug me about it!
[QUOTE=Red Kilt]Mefenamic Acid is a pain-killer sold here over the counter in the PI - some people take it routinely for headaches. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) so it is not just a regular headache pill and should be treated with some respect.
I know some women take it when they have menstrual pain and cramps, but I have never heard of it "stopping" menstruation like your friend claims it did for his girl.
Logic tells me that the accumulated blood has to keep coming out as a natural blood flow until it is finished. I cant imagine anything like this stopping that process.
Maybe it was just a freaky coincidence?
Hope someone who actually knows the pharmacology can enlighten us?[/QUOTE]
WOW goggle it...I did....some bad shit:(

I'm not a big fan of conspiracy theories, but here goes:
She had a very special appointment, so told YM's friend that she was on her period. After servicing her OTHER "friend/husband/customer..." she then showed up the next day to see YM friend. Smart gal that she is, she had some miracle drug...and it worked?
I hate to date myself, but in 1980, my first visit to the Philippines I learned that Filipina will tell you what you want to hear.
I could be completely wrong, but only the gal can tell us for sure. YM, what is you take?

[QUOTE=Yella Man]I hear what you're saying, but she specifically told him she would be able to have sex without blood 2 hours later. True to her word, she was able to. The crazy shit bar girls do!

I propose an ISG experiment.
Step One: Purchase some Mefenamic Acid at your nearest pharmacy.
Step Two: Scour the clubs until you find a girl who refuses to go BF because of her monthly.
Step Three: Give her the solution to her problem (Mefenamic Acid).
Step Four: Have girl squat over your face so you can tell the exact second the blood stops flowing (if it actually does stop).
Step Five: Double check flow stoppage by maneuvering girl into numerous sexual positions and pumping girl furiously.
Step Six: Stop by ISG to report your results.

[QUOTE=Tansak KTV]My GF took something (Chinese written all over it) and did the same thing and it worked for her (and luckily for me) but took 1 night not to stop not a day. Then her period was heavy and very clotty but after I left and she was in severe pain. Can not be healthy whatever happened.
I'd say there are magic pills out there for anything (and most come from China and I've seen things floating all over PI and Thai) but I sure as hell don't trust them medically.[/QUOTE]I had a plan to meet a lady a while back. She told me that she was expecting her period any day, but if I was 100% sure to meet her she could get some medication to delay it.
Sure enough on the day in question, she was ready to play. Two days later when I went for a repeat she told me she was out of action. Never did get the name of the product but it seemed to work She had done some research on internet to find this product she told me.
I’ve got an ATM question about the best bank card to use. When I’m in the Phils I use my Wells Fargo card which charges me $5 for the transaction but no foreign currency fee. I contacted Citibank bcuz I know they have a branch in Makati. Since I have a Citi ATM card also they won’t charge me a transaction fee if I use their ATM but will charge a 3% foreign currency fee. I contacted HSBC and their policy is the same as Citi’s.
So, for you experienced guys, is there a bank there that does not charge a foreign currency fee if you have an account with them? I’m referring to international banks that one can open an account in the USA.
Thanks guys.

I use Compass Bank because they reimburse all ATM fees foreighn and domestic. Just keep all reciepts and either send them or take them personally to the bank. In your monthly statement you will see about 5 bucks credited to your account! Not bad deal!
Manila is suffering from power shortages in increasingly frequent intervals due to reduced water levels courtesy of the weather phenomenon dubbed El Nino. Brown outs have became very common.
It helps to have a bank which has customer relationship levels based on how much business you're doing with them. At higher levels (larger deposits and/or loan balances, etc), all your ATM fees will be reimbursed. In the US, you can look into credit unions as well. There are banks that will not charge the 3% foreign transaction fee on your ATM card or your Visa credit card. Just have to find them.
But let's face it, you are still going to pay some fees (e.g., currency exchange and Visa or MC international transaction fees), that is unavoidable. Just saying your total fees can be made smaller if you're willing to take the time to shop around. And as I said above, it helps a lot to have big balances.
you probably already have ten or so guys lined up at the drugstore.
from out friends at wikipedia: mefenamic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to treat pain, including menstrual pain. it is typically prescribed for oral administration.
mefenamic acid is known to cause an upset stomach, therefore it is recommended to take prescribed doses together with food or milk. instances of drowsiness may also occur. as such, it is recommended to avoid driving or consuming alcohol while taking this medication.
other known mild side effects of mefenamic acid include headaches, nervousness and vomiting. serious side effects may include diarrhoea, bloody vomit,blood [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord109][CodeWord109][/url](haematuria.blurred vision, skin rash, itching and swelling, sore throat and fever. it is advised to consult a doctor immediately if these symptoms appear while taking this medication.

Southbound69[/QUOTE]Most ATMs and Visas will charge you a foreign transaction fee and/or service fees.
One of the best is the Charles Schwab ATM; they will rebate the ATM machine transaction fee and they do not charge a foreign transaction fee. You can link from your bank to Charles Schwab. There's a few minor details (need to open up brokerage acccount; no money needed; they rebate into brokerage account; takes 1 week to move money from brokerage to bank), but it's the best I found. See their website for details and to apply.
The Charles Schwab Visa is also good. They don't charge foreign transaction fees; and you get back 2% rebate. Best way to pay away (since you get the commercial bank exchange rate; but only if the merchant doesn't charge you extra).
Capital One Visa also does not charge foreign transactions fees.
All the other Visas I have charge the 3% foreign transactions fee.
[QUOTE=Supersteve]O.K, be nice, or not, and give me sh*t!!! LOL I have RTTF and haven't found the answer yet.
I am flying into Manila for my first PI trip, and then onto AC for a week, returning to Manila for the final night.
I am assuming that I can buy a Sim, and minutes, at the Manila airport, but where? Also is Smart the best system to go with. My plan is to use it to text 4-5 friends that will be there also. I doubt I will make many calls to ladies. I am more of a ST, one and done kind of guy. I seldom repeat with ladies, especially on the same trip.
Thanks in advance[/QUOTE]
I landed at Termina 1 (Asiana) today. Just after immigraiton on the right hand side where you collect luggage was a vending machine selling Smart load cards.
Just outside the luggage area but before you got to the street I saw at least 2 differnet kiosks selling Smart and some other carrier's load cards. I stopped at one just to check. They had 300 and 500 loads for smart and a smart sim card.
I am going to post this in all three country forums and evaluate the responses over the next day or two before deciding. I would really appreciate your opinions.
I am planning my first trip in April for a week to either Vietnam, Thailand or the Philippines.
Would you please offer your opinions to someone who has never been to either of these places?
I love to monger but I also enjoy going to some of the touristy/scenic/historic locations of countries I visit.
I was thinking that Vietnam might be a good combination because I was in the service during the Vietnam War, although not actually in Vietnam. But there are many important places there that I would like to see. I'm just not sure how much I can do of the visiting while also taking care of the mongering especially since I will only be there for a week and many of the Vietnam era sights are spread out and may be in smaller cities or rural areas.
The other choices are Thailand and the Philippines. Thailand is definitely cheaper than Manilla to fly to from Los Angeles. Plus I read on the threads that it costs less to monger in Thailand than in the Philippines.
I think there might be some more important historical and other sights to see in Thailand than in the Philippines, but that is just an impression. I am not sure what I would do in the Philippines other than monger. I am not a beach person due to my age (59) and fair skin.
I would appreciate your thoughts. Please don't read into the above comments that I necessarily prefer Vietnam. In fact I was originally thinking about the Philippines, then about Thailand due to the cost of the flights. I then started thinking about Vietnam but it is still only a thought.
I am first and foremost committed to the mongering aspects and would like that to be given the largest weight in any advice you care to give.
Also if you think there is somewhere else I should consider like Jakarta or Singapore for my first ever mongering trip please let me know.
Thank you very much for your insights.

You have posed an interesting set of questions, and I suppose the answer lies in your primary motivation for taking your trip.
If places to see and cultural factors are among your chief motivations, then I'd consider Vietnam or Thailand as destinations and forget the Philippines. There's really very little here of cultural interest and not very much to see. If you're going to go primarily to big cities, then Bangkok and/or Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City are far more interesting than Manila, which is pretty much of a shit hole.
If you want to combine sex tourism with sites of interest, then, in my opinion, Thailand is the best alternative. There's lots to see, and the mongering possibilities are endless. Vietnam is a bit more iffy for sex: there aren't nearly as many venues as there are in Thailand and even then, it's a bit tough to get girls back into a hotel room.
On the other hand, if you're looking for endless sex with as many women as possible, and that's your primary motivation, then the Philippines or Thailand are probably better choices. The difference is that the sex industry in Thailand is ubiquitous and well organized. Though sex venues are plentiful in the Philippines, they're not nearly as concentrated and not nearly as well organized. However, you're much more likely to get true GFE in the Philippines and the whole thing seems less commercial here, though that's only an illusion. In the Philippines, you're much more likely to meet and bed non-professionals as a tourist than you are in Thailand. Plus, of course, most of the women you will meet in the Philippines will speak at least a modicum of English.
Personally, I would choose Thailand because some sort of cultural resonance is important to me. But then, I live in the Philippines, and there's not a lot of fascination left in the country for me.
