Manila

[QUOTE=Ratszo]There's a place just off of Pillar on UN up towards the McD. Right on the corner. It's called 'Le Bistro' something or other.

Very old-school place, like out of "The Sandpebbles".

Not a tourist spot.

Never mentioned this place before, 'cause, didn't want punters to ruin it., barfinewise.which is low for Pinoy businessmen.

R[/QUOTE]UN = United Nations Avenue?

Is Le Bistro off United Nations Avenue or off M H Del Pilar?

As you wanted to keep it a secret I pm'd you, but you dont have pm facility it seems.

Thanks.

There are a few hookers at Havan. But most are not "full" time hookers. Occasional "date" seekers who come down there to earn some quick bucks. A lot college students, especially from the Womens University and nursing schools. Mostly they come when the fees are due or something like that. I met some nice girls and made great friends with them.

Caution: There are hookers there too with no scruples. Be careful. Some of them are druggies.

Having said this, I agree with Red Kilt. Havana is a regular business. A nice Cafe with great food and atmosphere. If you go early, do your best not to bother the ladies as they are more than likely regular folks. The chicks come out to play after 9pm. The place gets filled with overflow into starbucks.

Key is, have patience. Sit, observe, and have a few drinks. Pick, invite the girl over for a drink, you like, you go back to your room. Or just tell them not interested. Be very open, negotiate. 5000 can go down 2000 in matter of seconds.

I just got here in Manila. Stuck in Manila for 4 days. Be here until the 17th. Anyone want to have a beer or two, PM me. I have never met anyone here but have chatted. It will be nce to put some faces to some people.

People keep asking this:

Havana Cafe is in Greenbelt 3. Right next to Starbucks. If you are taking a Taxi tell the driver Greenbelt 3 or New World Hotel. Havana is right across the street from the New World Hotel. New World is a very nice hotel, at about 90 bucks per night. About 4.5 stars.

New World Hotel Address:

New World Hotel Makati City, Manila
Esperanza Street corner Makati Avenue, Makati City 1228, Philippines
Tel. No.: +632 811 6888

You can call the hotel get directions to the hotel, get off at the hotel and walk right across to Greenbelt 3. Very safe.

[QUOTE=Henryv]I am getting a number of "Greenbelts," now I do not feel bad about not being able to find it.

Also, I am 60 years old, however, I work out and take very good care of myself (regular hair cuts, teeth cleaned 2x year, control my gas), is it mosty a younger mans game there? I know that "a mans reach should exceed his grasp" but, at the same time, I do not want to waste my time.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Zuhare Meri]Thanks but contacts already passed.[/QUOTE]I tried a few methods to get ladies.1)Talked to the guys incharge of information at the hotel.He can give you directions.2)Try the hotel spa and massage and ask for room service.Normally quality not good and pricey.Asking for P4000,then you nego.3)If you use taxi parked at hotel befriend the driver.He can bring you around and can double as tourist guide and body guard.I tried once and he told me that he used to walk in bars.He brought me to apartments in Makati, and to Miss International, then to Asian Entertainment.Since he is Filipino no problem with pricing and cheating by girls.The driver is my insurance.

Girls at Miss Universal are mostly beautiful. The girls go to the stage in groups and then will strip all the way one by one. There must be almost 100 girls there. Some of the girls are in the show room with numbers on them while waiting to go on stage. You can ask the girls to sit with you and they charge by the hour until you pay the BF. The BF for model is P6000 and the girl go home by 3am. The girl tell you only 1 shot allowed. If you want another round need to pay her another P2000. Definitely very expensive place to get a girl even though the girls are of high quality. On top of that you have to pay entrance fee, tips to mamasan, servers, your own and girl drinks and tips to the girl.

I suppose you can also play it cool until the girls you sit with are desperate and start to give concession. I did that recently. The girl guessed I was not BF her and by then it was almost 12am. Then the cutie promised to be nice, go back only 7am, etc.

Confusing: Add there two Havana Cafe locations? One in Greenbelt 3 Makati and one in Malate, Remedios Circle?

Correct. The pickup one you want to go to is Greenbelt.

Seems as if Havana is soon to be ruined. If you don't know where Greenbelt is, you have never been to Metro Manila. I will just stay under the radar at my other places.

[QUOTE=Blackangst]Correct. The pickup one you want to go to is Greenbelt.[/QUOTE]The p4p girls will make eye contact with you and smile. They are quite up-front. I was there Sunday evening. Got chatting to 2 hotties but geez I was naive. After a bit of small talk I asked if they worked:

Me: So do you work?
Girl: Yes
Me: Oh? What do you do?
Girl: I go with men

Their opening price is $100 (5,000 pesos) - but this can easily be reduced to 2000 pesos.

[QUOTE]Caution: There are hookers there too with no scruples. Be careful.

The band member claimed the girl was on Shabu and can be erratic.

Anyway, Havana is NOT LA CAFE. So play bit safe.

As for the guy who asked where is Green belt, I could only deduce that

A) he hasn't been to Philippines

Or

B) he's never been to 'good places' in Philippines.

Over and out.

Could use the same info as D cups . Will be in Manila for one night in Sept. Was going to Executive Plaza but with LA closing need some options.
Thanks

Hey guys, bewarw when you are staying here tonight I took a taxi to a club in Tomas Morato and when I arrive there after walking 5 minutes I was aproached by a guy that claim to know me from my hotel and claim he work there and also knew my name and room number! Been all staff a little look alike I said sure and he went with me to this club after that he said he knew this great place in Roxas blvd BAD mistake! The palce sucks! Two beers after I ask for the check 15, 000 PESOS! I said no way! And said I will call the police after paying 2000 pesos still a rip off I walk away, this guy follow me and said to give him 8000 pesos I said NO! He start to get violent so I have to push him away and give him a nice hit in the face and took a taxi to retrieve! I went to the hotel and spoke with the manager and she said this was pretty common of course the police did shit so I change hotels and pretty much my travel plans! This really sucks be careful and trust no one! No one!

I recently stayed at the Palm Plaza Hotel in Malate on my first visit to Phil and so was a little naieve as what to expect.

The Hotel was less expensive than others but it SUCKS!!

There were always 3 or 4 guys waiting inside the lobby who were i guess "Contract Drivers" for the Hotel. They are Sharks! They try to befriend you comming and going and try to sucker you into letting them guide you arround.

I made the mistake one night to use one guy to drive me and my date to a restaurant and back that was maybe 15 min away. Costed me 1000P. I learned to bypass those idiots and just step out to the street and flag a passing taxi and require them to have a meter and negotiate the price to my destination upfront.

I fell for a similar "scam" as Primusduve and allowed a taxi guy to take us to a Club that he suggested. It was East Asia Club. When we arrived he got out of the taxi as well and walked us in. Bad Sign I know now. He handed the Mgr. his id or whatever to get a commission on us. The driver then sat with my date and I at the club. I asked my date to tell him in Tagalog that we did not need him anymore. He did not leave.

The Mgr brought us a entrance charge reciept that showed a charge for all 3 of us. WTF? I crossed the taxi guys charge off and asked the Mgr. to ask him to leave. He stayed. I was drunk and having fun so I lossed dropped my guard a little.

I told the guy that he could stay and have a few beers that I would pay for and then he would take us home later for no charge. He would get some beers and be able to watch the naked girls in trade for the taxi ride. He said ok. Wich later I found our agreement meant nothing.

After two hours of drunken fun we paid the bill and left with the driver to go back to Hotel wich would be a 200P to 300P ride. He then started in with his shit in Tagalog with my date asking for 1000P.

I was drunk and started to get angry since I thought we had a deal. He drank 4 or 5 beers and smoked our cigarettes and had fun looking at the girls.

He continued to say he wanted 1000P. I became more louder in the car and told my date that I would handle it. When we got to the Hotel I asked my date to walk inside while I take care of it. The guy was kinda scarred and was rubbing his cross that was hanging on the mirror and saying a prayer. I was making him nervous as pay back for trying to scam us.

My date went into the Hotel and I stepped out of the Taxi and waited for the driver to come out to get his money. I said how much? He nervously said 1000P. I stepped on his foot and held out 200P and said take it or im going to kick your ass. He took it.

The next day I felt like a dumb drunk idiot. Oh well I learned not to trust anyone and not to get drunk and try to fight a taxi guy in the middle of the street.

It was an interesting night and had fun regardless of the incident.

Dont trust anyone espeacially the Taxi drivers.

Holy Moses, this is the eldest cheat in Manila! Never ever follow anybody who claims he (or she!) knows you and particularly don't invite a stranger 'as your guest' or 'your guide' to any bar, pub etc.!

Well, at least you did not pay him!

Cheers!
