General Information

[QUOTE=Frenzy3; 1162387]Damn I wish this site had edit.

I use to go there with other local boys and their gf, if you try pick up a locals gf at a disco expect the worst.[/QUOTE]Great info. This will be well appreciated by those who might never have been to a disco outside of their home country.

Altho of course in a great many cases, we have picked up the locals gf in a great many places, done them, made a contribution and then let the local boy have sloppy seconds. . LOL. Guess you might want to forewarn the local boys. Extra large LOL.

Went there last night and I have to mention the foreigners I saw act like jerks, I was in the que with 5 of my girls and 2 guys with their bar girls decide to jump the que. Prob thinking the pina girls where just locals, the pushed their money into the cashier, I told them there was a que and the cashier gave them their money back.

We had our table inside and while dancing on the stage some foreigner guy with his barfine sits down at our table, despite us having our drinks there, we decided just to get another table. So we moved to a out side table.

Out side there was guys just fishing for locals at one time was 5 tables in a row with a single guy just trying to pick up girls, one was calling out to any girl even girl with their pino boy friend and you wonder why some pino boys attack foreigners.

One of the 5 guys picked up some ladyboys and started kissing mouth to mouth in public. 2 of my girls saw this and said something to me, I think they prefer not see gay men in public kissing, I also think the guy did not even relise he had ladyboys he looked drunk and dumb, he did not look gay and I had seen him trying to pick up other girls before the ladyboys sat down, to me it is quite clear which girls are freelancers there rather than sit down and not move arround go to their tables and order the girls some drinks, talk to them they are humans, if you sit and not move you will be targeted by the lady boys,

The reason you move around is you find a lady only table, try your "luck" there, my gf1 had a guy try pick her up on her way to the CR, when you see two girls walking it does not mean that they have no dates, they do leave the table to move around, so go look at the table they go to see where they are at and watch. No one tried to talk to my girls at my table even though I had 5 girls with me, I use to go there with other local boys and their gf, if you try pick up a locals gf at a disco expect the worst,

Then some really drunk staggering foreigners walk up wanting to get in, but was turned away as one the guy was being prompt up he was legless, they came back with out him and latter one guy fell over on a local table smashing the drinks and injuring them, they then ran off, a few locals once they realized that they bolted went looking for them.

I not been there for 2 years now, my gf1 told me that prefers the local discos where foreigners are not welcome, it will be interesting to see what happens in the next 2 years.

Ps admin you can delete the other 3 post I did bellow

You can edit your posts and delete them but there is only a short window of opportunity to do so, I think it is about 1 hour. Once you submit your report, preview it and once you have edited it you can post it. Even once it is posted you can edit it or delete it during the 1 hour window. I find it surprising how many guys forget to use this function.

As regards foreigners picking up girls at local discos, I don't think it is such a minefield as you suggest provided you are not rude, not drunk and keep your conversation polite. It you make eye contact with a girl and smile, if she has a bf in tow she will normally not reciprocate. If you do talk to her and you are not sure about her status then just keep the conversation that you initiate polite and bland so that it cannot be construed as hitting on the girl. Sadly some foreigners do think and act like they are superior to everyone else and sometimes behave like morons. I once had the misfortune of meeting such a guy myself but soon offloaded him.

He sits there most nights before midnight watching discreetly who goes in and possibly making sure that everyone pays the entrance fee.

[/QUOTE]I agree things have changed alot in the past few years for the worse both around Mango and in Cebu City. Gone are the days when a foreigner walks around and gets that "surprised look" that now exisists only outside major cities and into the provinces.

Too many drunken idiots around for sure and those who do not treat everyone with respect will one day figure out the hard way when they step on the toes of someone who is connected just how cheap life can be in the Philippines. Either they will wake up beaten some where because they were rude drunken idiots and tried to pickup a woman and her BF and his friends decide to teach the guy a lesson. Maybe the girl you just promised to marry then dumped after banging her silly for the last week gets her uncle who is PNP to make a search of your bags at the airport and finds planted shabu and you will be facing serious jail time.

I am surprised more foreigners don't end up that way for there bad behavior, but most of the time locals treat the foreigners with respect and often look the other way when they act rude or misbehave. But attitudes and patience is wearing thin.

You wondered what Cebu will be like in two years, my guess is it will all change. With the 30+ condo towers already planned and alot more to be proposed before the condo deadline 3 yrs from now comes into effect things will look very different. Even Mango will change with the addition of the massive Horizon101 twin 58 story towers to be built next to Mango Square.

Realizing that everyone does not have English as a first language could we try to use some basic writing skills. Examples are periods, commas, and capitol letters at the beginning of a sentence. I don't believe these are english rules of grammar only. It is really hard to read a paragraph that is one sentence.

Ok, now you can fire away

You might want to start with yourself. The word 'capitol' used in the context above should be spelt as 'capital', the word 'english' should be capitalised as 'English' and the word 'realizing' should be spelt as 'realising' (unless of course you are American where slightly different rules of spelling apply). I have never heard of the word 'period' in the context of grammar, only as an excuse from a bar girl who did not want to be bf'd!

Ok, now you can fire away[/QUOTE]Apart from misspelling "capitol", you should also have put a comma after language and a question mark at the end of your first sentence.

[/QUOTE]An Americanism (is there such a word?) for what we frenzied foreigners might otherwise might know as a full stop. That little dot that separates sentences.

[QUOTE=Red Kilt;1162742]Apart from misspelling "capitol", you should also have put a comma after language and a question mark at the end of your first sentence.[/QUOTE]And, he should have capitalized English, which is a proper noun.

All you nit-pickers should test your English skills and enter a spelling bee! :rolleyes:

Filipino owned and operated with better beats and sound system IMHO. Top notch security and the food is decent too. They also own the KTV next door so you can have some quiet time with the girls!

Ok, I made a few mistakes as I was typing fast. This has nothing to do with using a period at the end of a sentence. A capital letter at the beginning of a sentence. It does have to do with making a long paragraph into one sentence. Much easier to understand if those are used.

Also someone never heard of put a period at the end of a sentence when they were in school. Amazing. Otherwise I stand corrected

Should have use the word punctuation instead of grammar. Now we are finished

I love it when someone corrects another and then comes up with a great new word of their own. SPELT is a word, however, it means a kind of wheat species and therefore will pass a dictionary check. Check it out in Wkikpedia. However, within the context used here, the correct word should have been SPELLED, which is the past tense of spell. Just thought I'd put in my 2 pesos.

I really enjoy the banter going here and have learned a whole lot from all of your experiences and escapades.
