Well, my third successful trip to AC this year. However, for the second time in the row my connecting flight into Narita was delayed causing me to miss my connection in Japan. Spent a very uneventful night in Japan before finally flying out to Manila in the morning.

Staying at the Wild Orchid (CH Link) went straight to work by heading to one of the Santos BJ bars - Shadows (CH Link). After some ST (I took her back to my room), bar hopped until I found my next target. For the first time of any of my Asia trips hit a serious case of jet lag around 11:00pm in the Q Bar (CH Link), actually nodding off while sitting down. Not good! Headed back to my room with my girl, managed to get enough energy for a bang then slept like a rock until 5:00pm the next day. Amazingly the girl I was with slept right along until I woke-up....kicked her out as quickly as I could (after a bang, of course), as I really did not want to lose any more valuable time.

Overall the bars were relatively empty of guys and the girls quite eager. A week at a time, however, is more than enough for me. All in all, banged 2 a day with plenty of drinking in between. One thing I did notice is how much less I spend each time I travel to AC - this time I was down to 50% of budget. This trip Angel Witch (CH Link) and Eager Beaver (CH Link) were one of the two top bars for me.

One night after a little too much indecision I made the only mistake of my trip - I ended up going with the rather well know deaf girl. She roams Skytrax and Phillies. To me she was a pain in the ass, doing little things to annoy me like turning off the A/C a couple of times in the night which caused me to wake-up feeling hot. Or waking up early and turning on the TV..... I was so frustrated in the morning wanting to sleep, that I kicked her out without getting my well deserved second round.

I did meet a couple of guys that I hung out with....it was their first time to AC and they were absolutely blown away by the Atlantis Bar (CH Link). One eventually barfining a girl from there. I almost ended up with one hot waitress, but for some reason decided against it....maybe in retrospect it would have been a good date! I loved all her tattoos and somewhat nasty girl look....reminded me of some of the Rio former Help and termas girls.....

I never asked about bareback and just assumed it....this time around it was 100% success without being asked for a rubber. Just did my first round of STD panel testing ($220) a few weeks after returning and so far so good....nothing to report! Chlamydia & Gonorrhea should have shown up in the panel already if I had been exposed....so good news! None of the more serious stuff is there either, which of course would be more of a reflection of previous trips than the current one. Whewwwww.

After having tried different hotels, I do like the Wild Orchid. It just plain convenient to Santos for easy ST.....

As I keep going back, however, I do need to set better expectations with some of the girls I keep seeing....They tend to have a jealous streak when one of their co-workers "steal" one of their customers. The "keepers" are those that have passports already that can be company to some other destination. This includes one of the BJ Row girls who has been great company on a couple of trips, including one to Singapore, as one with whom I had a fall-out after selecting one of her co-workers. She can give who knows how many BJ's and fucks a day, but I can't bang someone she works with??? Oh well! Life is just not fair :-)

Not sure when I will be back.....my next trip is to Rio, but AC never has disappointed me! Most likely it will be the first part of 2013.

I just hope all AC haters stay away.....makes the girls ever so hungry for customers!

Photos?

On my way to Subic now...girls are younger, fresher and hotter per capita. Skipping AC from now on.

Made a few private videos instead.....I get more of a kick out of them now....

I like Subic as well, but it is much quieter than AC. This time of year, with daily rain and the floating bars pulled for Typhoon season (at least that is what I heard) I felt it would be too quiet in Subic. When I go back at the beginning of next year, then I will be splitting my time between both AC and Subic.

LM: I am curious about your daily budget, can you break it down for me? Since I thought the EWR rates are up from the 1000-1300-1500 from 2010 plus the annoyingly poor exchange rate.

blazers. I ve made same decision. I no longer go to AC much either and just go down from Manila to Subic. I like the laidback lifestyle alot. Be glad this November the floaters will be back for some daytime action. Good report Marvin.

Thanks for the update. I take it you're no longer living in Brasil?

If you really want to enjoy yourself next trip, spend what you're saving on budget and stay at the Lewis Grand hotel. It's almost like leaving AC and the Philippines to stay at a Western resort.

I moved from Rio to Miami last year.... I was getting a little bored. Since I love boating, fishing, and riding motorcycles South Florida was a better fit. Still go back to Rio every month or two..

As far as my budget, I pretty much always count on EWR being around 1500-1800, x 2 a day. But in the beginning when I first started visiting AC, I often got suckered into Ladies drinks, then the double lady drink bullshit, hanging out at the bar where I picked the girl (resulting in being asked to buy drinks for her bar friends, bar manager, etc) which impacted my budget quickly. Also now I kick the girls out much quicker avoiding extra breakfast, dinners and such. Doing the latter more because I want to move on to another girl and not have them hang-out with me. I also no longer over tip as I did initially.

So I am spending less simply because over time I got to know AC and how things work better, not necessarily specifically trying save money. I am also seeing my preference most definitely moving more towards ST over LT.....

To me the exchange rate pretty much seems the same...in the 41-43 range on all my trips. I do not really recall much of a difference from trip to trip. I do remember some of the lower EWR in some bars, but then in others even a couple of years ago I recall paying 1500 on average. So again, not much different now.

Video!!! Video!!! Video!!!

Thanks for the trip report. I'm heading out to AC in about a month for the first time in about 7 years. I've been curious as to how much it's changed (or not) and am looking forward to going.

In some recent posts around PI some comments were made about the increases in barfines, so I wanted to put this in context for newbies. The US currency hit a 55+ peso to 1 USD ratio about 7 years ago. Just like it did with other currencies (thai bhat and brazil real) it started to drop in the more recent years. I just started mongering in AC and Subic (to a lesser extend) about 3 years ago when the USD had already settled into the 41 or so range. While barfines have increased, keep in mind that all night barfines are still only 1500 to 1800 on average. That is only about $43 USD ....plus a tip of about $10. This, at least for me, is always all night. I personally have not had any runners....just the opposite, i want to get rid of them. A bargain in my book for what you get. No arguing about BBBJ and all the other BS you encounter elsewhere.

Also what I like about PI is the unspoiled red light feel to it.....always a new batch of fresh farm girls ready for action.

Rarely have I found the real hardcore girls...

But on the flipside, fucking a Filipina (or any Asian) rarely approaches anything like a Brazilian girl. So there are trade-offs....but then again good luck in finding CONSISTANT $50+ all night pussy service like a filipina hooker in such a turn key mongering environment.
