Manila

[QUOTE=Sir Lancelot]If ever anything like this happens to you, the key is to maintain your composure and smile as much as possible. If I had started shouting and acting confrontational, the situation would certainly have escalated. [/QUOTE]Great report. Yes, keep on smiling. Never forget saving face is all important in Asia, even as they scam you off. Getting angry is not going to lead you anywhere but trouble. This does not mean you should give in. Be firm but keep smiling :-)

[QUOTE=Fast Eddie 48]To X,

I think there is one at Malate near Adriatico just a small bar mostly local teen no WG, there are also one at Baguio city near the university see many foriegner here and many young college girl want to meet aussie, I am not sure this is a franchise or chain.[/QUOTE]There are many Padis point. Malate, Quezon city, Antipolo. Mostly young people. No WG but you can still pick up girls. Of course it takes more time. You need to make friend first, bla bla. I am not surprised it seems to be the LA Cafe of Baguio as there's virtually no real bar life in that city yet so many students. The only draw back if you go in Malate or Quezon is that you'll look like the grand daddy of them all but people would stlil be interested in you (and your money).

[QUOTE=Westcoast1]One of the pimps gave me her number. She has kept me in fresh supply with girls for almost two years now. [/QUOTE]Good idea to get the pimps number instead at Harrison plaza. They can indeed be incredibly rude on public display. It's an embarassement and they don't seem to realize it.

[QUOTE=Fast Eddie 48]Richard 2008,

I totally agree and I am Chinese also, I like place like AF1, Phoenix and don pedro massage parlor, I like miss universe and KTV at Malate also many Taiwanese and Japanese go there, I use to like the old LA cafe 5 yr ago but it is going down hill even then I don't see too many Chinese or japanese there mostly korean.

Fast Eddie 48[/QUOTE]Greeting to you Fast Eddie.

I've been surfing on this great site for years and stick to Thailand or Phlippines threads since I travel to these two counties a lot. I notice you have make lots of great contributions to this site. Some did gave me a great help.

During my last trip in Manila, I found that EDSA complex had much better selections than other famous places in town. The girls there I picked were all cute and have great personality, which is fun for me. The price went up a little but still reseanable compare to the bars in Burgos area.

For me, LA Cafe is a good place to hang out. The drink is cheap and the band is good. It appears to me that South Korea guys love these places and the girls on the second floor welcome them as well.

During most of times, I travel alone. So it won't be fun for me to go to the club you mentioned. Hope next time when I am in town, I may have the chance to buy you a beer.

It was strange to me that the pimps and the girls kept walking. Maybe they are fraid of the securites i guess. On that moment, second floor is quite compare with the ground floor, the pimps also kept their voice down.

The price was P1000 for ST and P100 tip for the pimp. Some girls looked cute for me. I asked the pimp for the cell No. But they decliend. I had no idea why.

Richard[/QUOTE]Are you sure they were pimps? You managed to get a price, somehow, but as they were so reluctant then it does pose the question how genuine they were.

[QUOTE=Spook]Are you sure they were pimps?

The male pimp said he didin't have a cell. But the girl told me latter that she did work for this guy. Maybe some experienced mate can give me a lesson, I will be glad to know what's really going on.

[quote=peet man]i am at the same hotel, keep me posted to what you find out!

thanks[/quote]how close is the edsa complex to the edsa shangri-la? what city forum would have this info?

thanks!

i thought i gave you that information on post # 5982 peet but i guess it wasn't so explicit.

edsa shangri-la is near edsa in ortigas center which is mid-way between cubao and the southern-most end of edsa (the road) at which you will find the edsa complex.
distances are measured in the philippines in terms of the time it takes to travel from one place to the other.

from edsa shangri-la to edsa complex will take you varying times at different times of the day and night and on different days.

it will take you around 30 - 45 mins during most days except monday and fridays when you can add on at least 15 mins.
between 5pm and 9 pm it could take you 30 - 45 mins.
saturday and sunday it is faster and you could expect to cover it in 20 - 30 mins.
the reverse trip (edsa complex to edsa shangri-la) if taken after midnight to 1 am will take about 10 mins and can be hair-raising because cabs tend to speed like crazy because it is the only time they can actually drive instead of creep along in 1st gear.

Why should he give you any cellphone number? Since the price was ok, simply choose one cuty and go straight to the next hotel! That's the game! The rest is not important! :)

Last july I contacted Miss N again, to try to get her to travel to Manila. I had seen her once before and as can be read elsewhere, she is a true PSE. That is: IF she shows up at all.
I personally was disappointed twice, having sent money for the bus trip (and more...)and she never showed. Fellow ISG members were also having the same difficulties, sometimes even sending large amounts of cash. RTTF if you want to know.

This time however, she showed and was desperate for cash (as usual). She did not offer much of an explanation for scamming all of us, except by saying she had had a difficult time.

I tried anal with her but she somehow couldn't, was too painful...she said she was 'out of practice' since her UAE times.
Plenty of CIM though, as can be seen in the photo section.

I understand from WR that she has seen a few other members in the mean time and she seems OK now. She's willing to see other members and said she has cleaned up her act. She asks about 2000PPS a day for which she will try anything, just be nice to her.
She is now doing a secretarial course so she'll probably only be available in the weekend.
Be prepared to receive lots of SMS begging for money, both before and after seeing her. I recommend to send her only bus fare, that's about 1500.
You can PM Wicked Roger for her number.

You better believe it. The very worst thing that you can do is give her your cp number. You will be bombarded by texts all of which ask for money, load, bus fare etc.
I just ignore her texts now (on advice from WR).
The latest one was 2 days ago. "Please pasaload to me as I have no load left". I ignored and then an hour later I was asked again. Ignored. 2 hours later I received about 6 texts in a row asking me all manner of things. Load has mysteriously arrived.
One of her texts told me she hadn't eaten for 1.5 days and could I send money for food. This came after she had told me several times that she had no money for load.

Super sexy woman guys and very very skilled at her "work" but she carries an enormous amount of "baggage" with her.
Go for it if you wish but remember Josh and I warned you

Just to enforce the comments from Red Kilt and Josh. I have helped Miss N in the past when she was much more reliable. I continue to get bombarded with texts for help with all manner of reasons. Some may be true for all I know, but I'm also ignoring them.
