After a 11 years absence I'm back here in the PI, AC is allot diforent now that the base is gone.. I actually think it is better now than it was back in the 80's , $20 all night/day is hard to beat and some of these girls are so sweet. I had to take 3 last night (they need bigger beds here). Well I'll have a detailed report of the sceene up in a few days.

Scooter

Please have a report soon. It's been 9 months since I've been to the PI. I've been to TJ about 8 times since, but it just doesn't compare at all. Where else can you get undivided attention and GFE all night long for about $25.

Huh,

Thailand!

Harry

Yeah, I forgot about Thailand. However, my vote is still for the PI. The girls seem much more sincere and honestly loving than the Thai girls. Just my opinion.

Haven't been to PI. Have to do something about that.

Harry

Hey Scooter,

When are you going to post your report?

Harry

Working on it now, but I'm in BKK so I am spending my time wisely (if ya know what I mean) I will get it up in the next few days.

Scooter

Scooter,

If it's taking you 'a couple of days' to get it up while you're in BKK, you might want to pick up some of those little blue pills. You know, the kind Bob Dole keep telling us about.

LOL

Hope you're having a GREAT time. Looking forward to that report. Good to hear that you made it out of the PI safely.


StrikeEagle

Of course he made it out of the PI safely. I've met Scooter. He's a sensible guy and he's got a good head on his shoulders.

P.I. Trip report.

Angeles city was slated for the first part of my Asia tour, it had been 11 years since I had been to the P.I. and didn’t really know what to expect. Well it turns out I was more than happily surprised, honestly I think it is better than it used to be when the bases were still there. Anyways here is my report on the 10 crazy days I spent in Angeles.

First off the logistics of getting to A.C. I chose to use Margaretville’s car service that I arranged over the net. There are cheaper ways of getting to AC but for convience sake it can’t be beat. The driver will pick you up at the airport with a cooler of beer to drink along the way (cost about $30.00). If you are skittish about the way people drive then you might want to take a large bus. Driving through Manila makes Bangkok seem like there are strict rules, actually I believe there are no rules in the P.I. not even suggestions when it comes to the road. The one big change I noticed was the old area in Manila we used to party in is now run down and basically abandoned. It seemed several years ago the mayor outlawed nudie bars in Metro Manila. So now that knuckles are white I arrive in AC about 2 hours later. On first approach I think to myself, um I am spending the next 10 days in the ghetto…. Some half constructed / destructed buildings, potholes that swallow cars and motorbikes whole, the side streets not even paved. Well it took about 5 minutes in a bar for me to forget all about that. And for the rest of the trip I didn’t give it much thought. As the car pulls up to my hotel “The Orchid Inn” I noticed street vendors and people bustling around the street , every one seems to be happy, lots of smiles about. I check into my room and decide to upgrade to the new portion of the hotel rooms at the Orchid range from $24 to $34 a night, the quality is very good in the new portion and the demand there is heavy, they are generally booked up months in advance for many reasons. First is location, right smack in the middle of the bars easy walking distance everywhere, which means you never need a trike (motorcycle with a side car) second would have to be the pool, life in the day time can easily be centered around the pool and if there is one thing I found out is the girls love to go swimming here and finally the food at the hotel is excellent. I have nothing really to compare it to but I will definitely stay there on my next visit.

O.K. on to the good stuff, the bar scene in AC is well, unbelievable. There are around 40 gogo bars with 10 to 75 girls in each, the girls rotate dancing on stage in Bikini’s so you get a good look at the girls bodies. You do have to do a little searching to find a “stunner” but the search is half the fun. Now what makes Angeles stand out over all the places I have traveled is how friendly the girls are and the fact that most of the girls speak good English so communicating is much easier than in say Thailand. I also like the fact that the girls are not to shy when you get them home and to say I had some wild adventures back in my room would be the understatement of the world, the level of enthusiasm in the sack was incomparable to anywhere I have traveledand to call it girlfriend sex would be an injustice. Also if you are interested in the company of 2 -3 girls at the same time it doesn’t take too much coaxing. One night I had so many girls staying in my room I actually had to sleep on the floor my fav (long story and much Sanmiguel/Rum later).

No report on AC would be complete with out mentioning the infamous East Santos Street also known as blow row. There are about ten small bars (if you can really call them bars) located on a dirt road. The price for short-time is 400 pesos or $8.00 and contrary to some reports there are actually some attractive girls there, often they come from provinces a little farther out so their level of sophistication is not the same as many of the girls at the gogo’s but for a afternoon quickie it’s quite a bargain. I really didn’t have the opportunity to spend much time there because my days were usually occupied at the pool with other frinds.

Finally a word on freebies, they can definitely be had it really depends what you have to bring to the table. If you’re a younger guy and have a outgoing personality plus being American will go along way, but I met some older guys who really knew how to treat the ladies to fun and I’m sure they got the royal treatment back. Keep in mind that many of the guys in Angeles are Aussies and they don’t treat the girls the same way as us Yanks (they think we’re push overs) I personally just think we have more respect for women, chalk it up to cultural differences and to be honest it just worked to my favor when telling the girls I was from California.

Over all my trip to Angeles city exceeded my expectations.
Ratings.
Fun factor: 10+
Girls looks several 1-4’s, mostly 5-7’s and enough 8’s - 9’s to keep the finicky happy a few 10’s here and there.
Girls attitude 9-10, only one disappointment the whole trip.
Hotel - 10

Scooter

Scooter,
Good trip report. I've been to AC three times last year and actually found my future wife in one of the bars. Most of the girls in these bars work there out of necessity and are looking for a nice guy that will take them out of their situation. So, if you treat them w/ respect they will do ANYTHING for you.

As far as GFE goes, I don't think anything in the Zona even compares, except for perhaps a session w/ Sofia of CC.

The only bad thing about AC is the fact that it's a 14 hour plane ride.

Damn, Scooter! I guess Costa Rica is off.

C-Ya,

Harry

Now if I can only get Ez to join me.

Scooter,

How did you get to the PI? I'm thinking about making a 2 or 3 day stop in Angeles City during my upcoming Thailand trip. Any suggestions on airlines / prices? I'll be in Thailand the first couple of weeks in September... (prog)

Prog,
I would book the ticket in Thailand, you can get better rates in Asia than in the U.S.. I have some friends I met in AC who are meeting me in Pattaya in a few days, thier round trip was $220.00 Manilla to Bangkok. You will love the place.

Harry,
I am going to cut back my Costa Rica trip to 2 1/2 weeks and head back to AC in Sept for 30 - 60 days. Drop me a mail.

Scooter

Scooter (and other who can help out),

Do you remember which airline your friends got for $200.00? I've decided to include AC with my Thailand adventure this September. Should I look into it as soon as I get to BKK or buy them the same day I want to leave for AC? My itinerary is staring to look something like this (recommendation are very much appreciated):

9/06 - 9/07: ...Fly to BKK
9/07 - 9/09: Bangkok
9/09 - 9/13: Pattaya Bch
9/13 - 9/15: Phuket
9/15 - 9/16: Bangkok
9/16 - 9/19: Angeles City
9/19 - 9/20: Bangkok
9/20 : ...Fly back to LA

Also, how did you find Margaretville’s Car Service? Can't remember but did you recommend The Orchid Inn? If so, can I book over the internet? Thanks in advance for your help... (prog)

Scooter,

I saw you rated The Orchid Inn a "10". I found the web site for it. It is http://www.orchid-inn.com/ for those who are interested... (prog)

Sounds like this might be the place for my summer vacation this year. Even have an uncle living there. Any suggestions on airfare. It's around $1,000 if you just pull up cheap flights on Yahoo.

Dreamingeagle,
The cheapest by far is a courier service. They average $400-450. Jupiter Air of San Francisco runs routes. It's great if you are flexible and you need to carry documents for the courier company.

Also try these:
http://www.asiaairfare.com/
http://www.psnw.com/~farmtours/airfares.htm

Plus, check in your local area for LBC Mabuhuy. They are a freight and courier company exclusively for Philippines stuff. However, they had some great airfares. I was just in there yesterday and they had airfare to Manila from LAX for about $650.

Good luck. Just remember, the cost of the vacation may seem cheap due to the exchange rate and just how economics are in the PI. But, if you fall in love, it will cost you more than expected. I went last year for a "summer vacation". Well, I fell in love w/ a bargirl. I've been back 3 times. Spents wads of money. And soon to be married to that girl. A rather expensive summer vacation.

Happy hunting! Make sure you check out angeles2.com for more info on the Angeles City scene.

china air should be around $650.00

You can live like a king for $100.00 a day.
