[QUOTE=WickedRoger;2091157]I would agree 100% with your statement about the girls in your home country so maybe take one with you when you go back LOL but. Where would she stay and what would the other half think of you coming home drained every night LOL.

Cebu yes Manila and AC maybe but I can be biased there.

True things are cheaper but it can be a tad chaotic at times and some people prefer a quieter life. The thing with cheap booze etc is that is encourage some low life expats also that give the others a bad name etc. When I was in AC saw a few sitting around with a bottle, singlet shorts etc looking unkempt, dirty etc (same other places I know) and not a pretty sight.

Of course I compare them to myself BD and. Well no comparison LOL.[/QUOTE]WR is very correct about the appearance of a lot of foreigners running around AC they are very unkempt and look almost homeless some of them. Singlet shorts, a wife beater, and wore out flip flops nursing a beer all day because they don't have any money. A good example of this can be found at Vanallia bar (DMZ) 9 am to 3 pm for the 2 for one special they run. Same few dozen of fellas there segregated by a pole with the blacks on one side and the white on the other. Seems like to me they wear the same cloths everyday a really depressing sight. Need a ego boost go see these guys.

There is not a better pussy lubricator then Cash.

I am a regular 'Joe' back in home country, but in the AC alleys and by-ways, I am a 'dandy' , sharply dressed, and wealthy beyond anyones dreams (Pesos). Angeles for an ego boost, agree, agree!

In fact I will be there this Tuesday 10th October for yet another an ego boost!.

[QUOTE=BrainDrain;2091243]IMO this thread of looking for drugs in Philippines was a sad joke from the first post of Kelso1. [/QUOTE]But we can hardly fault you and Dg for stringling the joke along. I understood it was a joke, but I thought it was in good taste. What else are you to say when he thanked Dg for reference to the Duterte Jr. Brand, thinking it was straight-forward information? In the end, he will stay in Latin America and out of the line of fire.

Had something similar on the UAE board with the managers who asked 'where are the best clubs / girls / cheapest pussy / wild Arabs' etc.

Was a good chuckle.

I was planning on visiting the Philippines next year and was wondering if anybody can recomend a good city to stay.

My goal is of course mongering and diving. I'm really looking for a good Diving spot I hope somebody in this forum knows some good spots.

Hey all,

I have a question.

I'm thinking about coming to the Philippines for a longer stay soon, and leaning towards the idea of AirBnB (which I use quite a bit in regular business travel. I like the privacy, the sense of 'ownership' of the space, and most of all, the extra space to be able to work effectively from your room. I was just starting to type that it gets rid of the walk of shame, but actually many of these places are in condo buildings with security and receptions etc, so. Not so much. See'est la vie. Also, like the idea of being able to cook (read as: have a cute semi-naked woman cook for me).

Anyway, the one possible downside is cleanup. Not worried about cleaning up the place itself, but more thinking about sheets. Do many of you recommend AirBnB or the equivalent? How do you handle sheets? I guess it's just lots of laundry (depending on the girl! Need to make sure the place I get has washer / dryer? Just invest in a spare set on arrival (can't be expensive there I'm sure)?

Thanks,

BH.

[/QUOTE]Generally you can ask the condo owner to provide both additional towels and bedding / sheets. On airbnb the general cost per maid's visit is 1000 php which seems a bit much, so I went onto Craigslist and found a girl who does 2 hours for 500 php. She usually comes 2-3 times during the week I'm there.

Hi guys, anyone know a good company that can pick up at Manila airport and drive you to Subic Bay? What's the current approx cost and travel time?

I'm heading there in 10 days.

Thanks.

It pays to do your homework by looking for clues in the AirBnB posting. Sometimes you can tell what the building looks like or even find an address, then go to GoogleEarth and zoom in to get a view of the building from the side. Big buildings with lots of units often have such a flow of people that security can't keep track of everybody. On the other hand, I stayed in a medium-sized building on Pablo Ocampo, across from the baseball stadium, and a couple of the security guards were a major pain in the ass.

The company that owned it had Christ in the name and tried to live up to their name. Five convenience stores on the first floor, and none of them were allowed to sell alcohol. Condoms on clear display by the cash register, but no alcohol. I ponted out the hypocrisy to cashiers and these poor women just smiled and shrugged their shoulders. But a couple of the security guards actively challenged people to show ID if they didn't recognize them. Once they even challenged my squeeze, who at that point had been in and out a dozen times. But this is the exception.

Another time I stayed in a condo that was one of a half dozen at street level, all with private entrances. We had total freedom of movement, although it was a bit off the beaten path for transportation. Also did not have any laundry facilities. Only one of the half dozen condos I have used had laundry, and then only a washing machine with spin dry. Still had to hang clothes to dry out on the balcony. In Manila heat and with wind whipping up along these buildings the clothes dry quite quickly.

If you buy additional sheets, just plan on taking dirty linen and clothes to a nearby laundry. Prices are cheap, turnaround is often less than two days, and they do a good job and fold things neatly. It's hard to justify doing your own laundry.

Here's another soluton: buy a couple cheap bath towels and put them down on the sheets under the woman's fluid dischage orifices. Tell her you're doing it to avoid chafing her ass, since the towels are softer than sheets.

BTW, 500 pesos for two hours work is cheap by your standards, but a lot for average Filipinas. Clerks in department stores and even some waitresses get 300 or less for an entire day.

Fortunately, I don't need to worry about privacy / hide from a spouse, etc, so security would just be the annoyance factor if in a large building. Good point on laundry. I did have an outside place do a load (not that kind of load) for me in Makati a few weeks back, and it was around 80p a kg or some such incredibly cheap number, and back in 24 hours. Very good value.
