[QUOTE=Firedick]Gents,

It's about time for a return trip to the RP to save my sanity (some might say "too late"). And I'm finally planning to make it down to Cebu. I'll be around sometime around the 20th of Oct. Anyone that wants to hook up for a beer or to punch me in the mouth may be accomodated.

I am ReadingTFF but may still have a dumb question or two in the near future.

Keep ya posted.

CL, your PM inbox is full.[/QUOTE]I would be more then happy to hook up for a beer or so,I have a beer buffet in my hotel we can hit,The record is 14 bottles,from 10am to 10pm,want to try and break it ????PM box is free Cheers CL

Howdy CL,

No sweat. But I am a little embarassed for you that 14 bottles in 12 hours would be a record. Clearly...we hang in different circles.

I'll shoot you the PM I wrote, if you have space in your box now. Ouch...I don't like the way that sounds.

Anyone that would like to join, pls get details from CL. He is still leading a professional life (as you all know) and should have "veto power". I, on the other hand, tend to shirk all responsibilities.

Sorry all, drinking tonight.

Spent four days in Cebu. Stayed at the Raja (formerly Park Place/Garwood). I stopped staying here a number of years ago because it fell into disrepair, however, the new owners have really cleaned the place up. The rate was 1700single/2000double. If you are going to bring a girl back get the double. They will ask the girl to register, but it is no problem. I was treated with the same courtesy or, that is to say, the staff still respected me in the morning. The rate also includes a buffet breakfast and a foot or back massage (no happy ending). A double room entitles you to breakfast for two, if they do not give it to you ask for it.

Did the Clubs on Mango Ave. The Black Hole has new owners, their appearance is somewhat scary if you fear soccer hooligans. They have brought some new energy to the place, but not much.

Exotica had a nice girl with rather large boobs, however, when I inquired about her I was told that “she did not want to bar-fine tonight.” Guess she is independently wealthy. There was a little more drink pressure than last time. When I did not see anything, other than big boobs, I liked the girls withdrew and pounced on the next customer who entered.

Dimples, Papillion, Love City are the same, tourist traps.

A new bar, Sisters (next to Black Hole), was interesting. It had some really nice women and it was very friendly. However, one night all other male customers were young Filipino guys. We all know where that can go when the alcohol takes affect. Noticed a distinct increase in Filipino male customers at the Black Hole also.

Went to the Silver Dollar which again, for atmosphere, was the best place in Cebu. The girls, albeit not all stunners, were friendly, and so was management. At 9 pm the owner came around to remind everyone to order because happy hour was ending. A real straight up place.

Decided to take a trip down memory lane so I went over to the St. Moritz. I walked in and saw four Filipino guys sitting at the bar. It was a shame because a very lovely lady wanted me to stay. Again, being the only Caucasian in a club late at night is not a good idea.

Before leaving I was told the St. Moritz now offers “short-time” rooms @ 650p for three hours.

[QUOTE=Spam Hog]I have seen LOTS of chinese tourists lately, if one goes to Casino Filipino you will notice that many of the game tables (Mah Jong & Fan Tan) cater to them (and Koreans) while only one blackjack table exists.[/QUOTE]

Where was that blackjack table? I don't remember seeing it. Or is the Casino broken up into different rooms and I only saw the room with the slot machines?

To think I was there and I missed the card games? Dang!

Hi folks.

Hi CebuLocal,

Can anyone out there give me a good advice where and how to rent a car for a good price in Cebu? I will be soon there again and I am really sick about all the troubles I had before renting cars from neighbours/relatives/friends etc.

CebuLocal

I will be there in October. If you like we can meet there.

Thanks all.

I would advise against renting a car in Cebu. Taxis are everywhere and cheap so why have the hassle?

The fact is that I want to be independent and that I am not staying only in Cebu City. I have to travel to and from other villages. Taxis are mostly not willing to drive outside the city and if so, they ask for crazy amounts or deny the service.

So, I am still waiting for advice.

Thanks

Hi!

Arrived rom Cebu City about a month ago and have to say that it was great. I'm sure to come back asap.

Got a question to you experienced phil travellers: Concerning bargirls AND regular girls, does it make sense to travel to Cebu (& Angeles City since I want to make a short stop-over there) from Christmas to the middle of January?

In a lot of countries it is NOT recommendable to travel during this time, that`s why I am asking. I am not really interested in seeing empty bars with ugly girls and/or going to the bar at 6 pm just to be able to pick up a cutie.

I spent Christmas in Manila and had a great time. I think a lot of working girls are expecting extra tips and gifts because of the holiday. Then I went to Cebu and had relatively few problems finding women. As Cebu L says, there may be fewer than usual.

While in Cebu, I inquired about bars being open New Year's eve. Some would be. This is where you want to be careful. There were few girls in the bars and most bars closed before midnight. Second warning is stay off the streets at midnight on New Yr eve. It's like a war zone. I watched the carnage from the top of Holiday PLaza (the roof was closed for the holiday so I could enjoy the fireworks while feeling up my date). The next day my date and I went to Bohol so I don't know what you could expect the first few days of the year. My guess is that it could be dead.

I would say try to have something steady lined up before New Year's Eve. You've already been to Cebu so I assume you have a few phone numbers.

As for myself, I've a late December "appointment" with a absoluty stunning young lady (22) who happened to work at a hotel I once stayed at. She's assured me her family will go to the province during the holiday which would enable her to spend a few days with me on Borocay or some other place.

I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm also a little wary. This girl is so bright and so hot that I may find my self getting tangled in HER web, rather than the other way around. Wish me luck!

I should be in Either Cebu, Davao or some other southern location around New Yr 2007. Send me a pm with your email and/or phone and maybe we can hunt together.
