Manila

Preparing myself again.
Arriving Manila on 07feb04, having my special fubu around during the weekend. Then business the following week, visiting Cebu as well (a resort). Back in Manila on 13th, exploring the possibilities, before leaving on Sunday.

I know it will be hectic, but I shall manage! For sure!

BTW: One of my friends asked me today if I was going away on a businesstrip soon. How come you ask, I replied. He said: You have that silly, well recognizable smile on your face again. :blush:
hehehe..

Take Care! / Ingats!

Can someone clue me in about which Victoria Court is the best for punters? Also is it anywhere near the LA Cafe or bar that I see mentioned here frequently?

I hope to spend a short time in Manila either later this year or early next year. I plan to visit Manila, Angeles City, and Cebu.

Rest of the holiday will be in Thailand. Doing a bit of pre-retirement scouting and some overdue celebrating. So I'm not looking forward to spending all night in the bars getting soused. Good food, some entertainment, and reasonably pretty girl is my basic wish list. Nice, but not expensive places to stay, of course.

I'm going back to Manila for either 14 or 24 days. Last time, I stayed a couple of nights at the Heritage Hotel, City Garden and then went to Cebu. However, this time I will be in Manila for the entire trip.

Can any of you recommend a nice hotel ($50-75) price range around the Ermita/Malate area? The Heritage is nice but it's too far from everything.

I'll be there after March 3rd if any of you want to go out for a few drinks.

Regards

Hey there guys:

Has anyone been to any good Topless shows lately in Pasay or anywhere in Manila?
I used to go to these places, but, they rip me off so much I stopped going. (They charge me outrageous prices that I know they don't charge others. I know that because I have a driver when in Manila, and he tells me that, especially since I arrive with a driver. Yeah, I know, its stupid, but, I just don't want to get into a wrong cab when I am drunk)

I will be back there again soon, and thought it would be good to go out and see some good tits.

cheers,
Lalake

Lalake, try Victory Hills new club in Pasay...ok if u just wanna watch,..but expensive otherwise.

Full reports from me later. I'm to busy!

The Flying Scotsman

Another dreamy experience at Skyline Health club at Grand Boulevard Hotel. Due to browser hijinks, I can't be sure if my report last night got through or is just being reviewed right now. Just in case, I mentioned that this Masage place is different in that you get an actual hotel room, and the selection of ladies seems rather fine.

Karen is a petite porcelain doll, busty, currently wearing braces which I found kinda cute. We hit it off and got right down to business - nice prolonged nipple kissing, a wet and tight Bj, followed by several positions. I will definitely see her again.

Looks like Skyline is it for me - definitely like the relaxed vibe, and the prices (1000/1200 and 1500 for the girl) are erasonable (at least by my East Coast standards.)

Just spent 3 nights in Manila, and spent them all in Diamond Regal! Similar to Victory Hills, they are within 2-minutes walk from one another on Roxas Blvd.

The girls go less than topless, with many going bottomless, in Diamond - full splits, dry humping, and spreading of lips on the stage. There was a new girl, Trixie, who smoked a cigarette on stage in her pussy! First time I've seen anything like that in Manila! She did great on the first night, on the second, she made a mistake and ash fell on her lips. You should have seen her jump!

Anyway, Victory has the advantage of a raised stage, and you get the full view of everything from most seats. Diamond has the prettier girls, but the stage is barely above floor level, so unless you are sitting really near the stage (a bit dangerous as some of the "star" performers may decide to wipe their pussies on your nose and charge you one ladies drink) your view is blocked by couches in front of you when the girl is doing her stuff on the floor.

There's an entrance fee (waived if you're a regular). Ladies drinks are 250p unless you feed the girls tequila (highly recommended!) then it goes up to 430p.

Barfine is anything from 4500 to 7000. I paid 8k once, overpriced, but she was a gorgeous "near cherry" and I had to have her. Lasted till late noon the next day, and she came back for a quickie on her way to work the next day, so I didn't feel like I overpaid.

Most of the hotels nearby are girl friendly - Heritage, Traders, Westin, and Hyatt (in decreasing rank).

Don't worry too much about a taxi back to the hotel. Just ask the mamasan to arrange. They have a vested interested in making sure that you are safe, and keep on returning. The clubs normally have a pool of taxis that they use to transport the girls anyway.

Just want to add that ALL hotels in the Philippines are girl friendly. The barfine in Diamond Real is P6500 before midnight & P5500 after that plus 1 hour of table charge (P650). Ask for Rhey as your Floor Manager (FM). He will take care of you really well.

Diamond Regal is 5500+ bar fine?? Did I miss something or did the bar fines in Manila just double? Or is this 1 of those "upscale" places? Someone clue me in here as I'm going to Manila next month and I might suddenly not have enough dough to last the 9 days I'm there!

That seems about right. I got quoted between 6-8K barfine at Stardust on Quezon Ave. But my floor manager advice me to ask the girls and see if they can meet me outside the club after or before work.

You might as well hang at LA Cafe, its seems to be the best place to hang with lots of girls to choose from.

2 more weeks for me and touchdown in Manila.

Where exactly is LA Cafe? If it is on P.Burgos, P. Burgos is in Manila not Ermita. Can anyone tell me the exact address?

Isagani,

Here's the address of LA Cafe:

La Cafe Bar & Grill
1429 M. H. Del Pilar
Ermita Manila

Isagani asks: "Where exactly is LA Cafe? If it is on P.Burgos, P. Burgos is in Manila not Ermita. Can anyone tell me the exact address?"

I have been away for more than 30 years but I still remember Ermita as a district of Manila.

LA Cafe is in Malate, also a district of Manila. There are many hotels in the area. You are going to have to do some of your own research to narrow down the options.

Have you tried the telephone directory? Have you asked a taxicab driver?

Ref L.A. Cafe:

Does it really matter where it is? I doubt if you are going to rent a car and drive there. Just ask any cab driver where it is. It's like asking where the Empire State Building is in N.Y. It's famous and everyone knows where it is. If I remember correctly, it's about 15 minutes (non traffic hours) from Makati. You also don't want to be caught outside on the streets there alone at night. Rough area for sure.

Cheers,

Iahnrt

Isagani,

A quick geography lesson: All the discussed areas are concidered "Metro Manila". Some are independant cities, some are neighborhoods or barrios or barangays. Ermita and Malate are part of Manila City proper. P. Bugous is in Makati. EDSA complex is in Pasay City.

L.A. Cafe is the same locale as the former Rosies Diner, a very famous night spot. As iahnrt said, does it really matter ? You'll be taking a taxi right ? Just make sure the taxi has a meter and ask him to use it. If not, get out. At peak traffic hours do not "freak" if it seems he is taking you in circles. Traffic often requires the use of numerous "short cuts".

The hotels in Ermita are walking distance from L.A. Cafe and I wouldn't worry as much as iahnrt implies. Follow common sense rules (don't walk out stumbling drunk) and walk with confidence. I lived in Ermita for 8 months and never had a confrontation. I walked a lot, at all hours, unless I was drunk.

Pick up a copy of Moon Publications "Philippine Handbook". Good info, good maps and not as "holier than thou" as the Lonely Planet books. Amazon has it new for $13, used for $7.

Good luck
