Manila

Anyone staying / stayed here? If so how did you find it? I arrive in 3 weeks.

[QUOTE=Hutsori;1746457]Casinos. I'm most familiar with Resorts World casino. Most times when I've been there I inevitably get the very direct eye contact seen at places like LA Cafe and Havana from a few girls. I wouldn't call it a good place to hunt for girls, but there are a few. If you are a gambler there are freelance assistants who work the casino (they are NOT casino employees); their job is to be your personal assistant such as carry your chips and whatever else.

Bars:

Plenty of them at Mall of Asia's (MOA) baywalk area (Seaside Blvd). No easily conspicuous working girls but plenty of regular girls.

Blue Wave, a outdoor live-music complex. No easily conspicuous working girls but plenty of regular girls. Map, [URL]https://www.google.com/maps/place/Blue+Wave/at14.5373961,120.9879568,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x3397c958019fcd25:0x10b65701eb227511[/URL].

Nightclub, Universe Gastrolounge & Nightclub in Resorts World.

Working girls are at EDSA International Entertainment Complex. Your next nearest spot is Remedios Circle where the nightclubs Exklusiv and Zzyzx are located. Working girls there. A bit further is LA Cafe.[/QUOTE]Any update on City of Dreams? Going back to Manila this week and considering staying there as alhough I don't gamble the ambiance in the casinos in Macau is more my taste than what I saw of Makati.

Is it easy to get though? Also how far is it from Edsa?

Thanks for all info.

I was there yesterday and wasn't that impressed frankly. On a better note, I had 2 sisters spend the night both regular girls from Mindanao. It was special holding 2 sisters all night Shakeys Pizza for dinner and 1 k taxi gift just now.

PC out.

How much it cost approximately going from:

Airport to greenbelt.

Greenbelt to MBC.

Greenbelt to EDSA.

Greenbelt to resort world Manila.

Also what is the best time to go to MBC and avoid traffic!?

I saw this chart and just wanted your opinions.

If you had any idea about city traffic in general Moh you would know that answers to these questions are highly variable because, in Manila, distance is measured in terms of time and not actual kms or pesos.

For example, SM Megamall is around 500 meters from my condo. By taxi it is 60 pesos, and can take 15 minutes. Walking it takes me between 3 and 4 minutes and costs nothing.

In general, at (say) 11 am, it will cost between 100 - 200 php for every trip you mentioned (by the way, MBC is back to LAC).

Between 4 - 9 pm, it could cost anything up to 500 php and take more than 1 hour for the longest trip you asked about (GB to LAC).

If it's Friday, or it's raining, then it could cost anything up to 1000 php, if you can find a taxi.

With a regular taxi + zero traffic, you are looking at 100 PHP on the low end. The airport trip with a regular taxi will be the most due to a higher flag drop and getting out of the airport area. With traffic, it could be around 300 PHP.

If you aren't a lazy millennial, you can google map distance and approximate off this site.

If you read between the lines of RK's post, try to avoid higher traffic times if possible.

And congrats for the 2 sisters!

Hey,

First post in the forum. As a frequent lurker, though, thanks for the all of the great info!

I will be visiting Manila in a few weeks. I've been there before, but I'm not familiar with the nightlife and will likely be staying in the Pan Pacific or nearby (though I may possibly stay in Makati). Given that I'm pretty unfamiliar with the area and that I'll be by myself, can anyone recommend a bar or two that would be best to hang out in alone? I'll have a free Saturday night, so I might as well enjoy it!

Thanks!

Thanks![/QUOTE]The Pan Pacific in Malate is just a 5-6 minute walk from LA Caf and Amazonia bars. Another 3-4 minutes walk from G-Point bar. All of those are FL places, with food / drink.

If you're in the mood for Makati, St. Giles Hotel is a 2-minute walk from the P Burgos gogo bars.

Hi,

I have one night in either Manila or AC. Question: is it worth the taxi fare there and back to head out to AC? It looks like the cost of the taxi's cancels out the extra's in bar fines!?

Thanks in advance!
