My first trip to AC proved one thing, it will not be my last.

In fact it borders on the surreal since you are in the orient, and yet everyone or almost everyone speaks english.
Disneyland east for adults, is what one guy called it too me, yeah, maybe. Angeles is not a fair comparision of what all the RP is like, it would be like saying Atlanta is what all of USA is like.
While I did not go to AC for it's cultural highlights, my curious nature always gets the better of me, and the social psyche of a people, their view of the world, of life, is something that always interest me.
Though I did interview a few TG'S on this matter, overall like one finds everywhere, they are trying to make better their lot in life, for them their children or their families. This point was not unnoticed in my obsvervations. Most of the girls told me that they were helping out their families, most told me they had worked in the club scene only two months,, some looked like that was true. Others, may have had a compressed view of time, multiply that 2 mos. by 30 and you might be closer to the mark.

The sights, smells, people of AC are worthy of a novel.
My bar scene experience focused more on some smaller lesser visited or reported clubs. And here IMHO, stuck paydirt. All clubs have stunners, yeah sure some have big butts, and no they are not out of the lineups of Neros and Blue Nile, which do have FANTASTIC lineups, but really I tried to observe if a TG from either of those places left with a customer, and to my knowledge or limited vision, I did not see one go out. In other clubs the comings and goings of customers, taking a TG out, or even bringing in a GF for a barhop was easier to calculate.

Overall, it was a learning experience, and while lessons learned the first time usually are sometimes shallow,here at least every bit of information was usefull.

My report to follow will not have any sorid details, frankly because what goes on in private is between you and whoever. I am not naieve to think I was the first or the last with some girl, but for that moment I was the only one that mattered, and in that case the respect should be savored.
I will give my impressions more on what unfolded overall, some of the adventures with a few amigos, and most of all, since it was all fun, spread some of the sunshine the RP leaves you with, cause once we are back here in our world, we suffer the same maddness that caused the Bounty's crew to mutiny and return to Tahiti for.
PPWS==Post Philippine Withdrawl Syndrome. It's only known cure... a return to what ails you...Thanks for all who gave advice and information, PTII will follow....

FYI: For those who may wonder what a TG is: On message boards that focus on mongering activity in the Philppines they use the term TG or "Tour Guide" when referring to the girls that worked the bar scene.

Rufus,

Nice report. Sounds like AC ruined your life as well! Welcome to the club...(prog)
