Then you misunderstood my previous posts. AC is ****e compared to Patts but awesome compared to say Burgos st. In Manila or EDSA or malatee or the U.K.

And 7-11 microwave pizzas are terrible but i love them when drunk!

Overall the Phils is too westernized for my liking I dont feel like i am in Asia here. I guess that's why more Americans like it.

Because of this however PI is a great change and the restbite i needed after beeing in Thailand for so many years. It will never be home to me like Thailand is and I could rag on it all day but again its better than actually being in the west.

My main point is. AC somehow has this rep for being a hardcore and that imo is greatly over estimated and frankly untrue. It is tame to say the very least. And for my tatse the birds are rats I have been out all day and not seen a single girl I wanna be seen in public with. But i as say I still love it and will pay to **** a bird i would not take to the cinema. I have a got a jaquzzi room so some pissing action is defo on the cards too.

TURBO SMASHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

is there places in NCR / Manila that have cable / optical fiber and allow 50 or 100 mbits internet both ways? or perhaps even gigabyte ethernet

Overpriced, ugly birds and not much fun at all.

Jinxed myself for the better with my post yesterday. I actually ****ed the best looking bird in AC (well out of the 6 gogos i went in) and would happily been seen in public with her

Paid 1800 for the bar and tipped her 1k in the morning and a banana. Like an actual banana not weed but an actual banana i bought from 7-11.

They don't allow Local Bank Transfer anymore? Lame. It worked last year but I haven't deposited since then. If so, I wouldn't even come here to play poker unless you have money in your Stars account already.

you're right, that's kind of personal :P. I'll give my version.


close to nice shopping centers + restaurants. possibly some decent clubbing options nearby aswell.

close to a lot of sports activities (as many as possible)

safe, not too much dodgy stuff going on.

no crazy traffic 24/7.



I guess that's in order of preferance too

The Fort might be a good option.

-very safe
-good choice of restaurants in Bonifacio High Street, Serendra, and even Market Market
-good clubbing at the Fort Strip and Burgos Circle
-close to Makati for even more food/clubbing choices
-streets are decent and well thought out, unlike a lot of Metro Manila, so even when there is traffic, it's not a headache.
-not sure what sports activities you're into but if you're into swimming, MASA is nearby and has a 50m lap pool.
-downside is it's relatively expensive, and I personally wouldn't live there without a car

Some other area I like are Rockwell, Poblacion, Greenbelt, Crossing, Ortigas, and Kapitolyo, but they don't fit your preferences 100%.

I have given a few reviews in posts above striiing. If you are just referring to a the night-life area then it is basically a small, bad version of Pattaya is about 1/20th the size of walking st. and 1/100th as much fun. Its defo worth a visit tho.

clark is dirty, nasty, smelly, and disgusting

the girlie bars are pretty lame in that the girls just stand around lifting there feet a few inches to some crappy music, when i went there were very few other guys so everywhere you went people looked at you like you were there only chance to make money for the day


but the girls themselves were awesome so its basically heaven

yeah but be prepared to spend its just as much or more than here in America. It amazes me how things are no longer inexpensive in the Philippines, everything halfway decent to nice now costs

within the former US base areas it is nice, but all there is are resorts and casinos. No real neighborhoods or real housing there. Its as if Clark is a super nice gated community and outside waits the hell that is Angeles City..lol

Subic in Olongapo is much nicer, but outside Subic, Olongapo is just like Angeles City. Subic has more businesses, housing, and recreation that what is offered within the Clark base confines. Plus there is a nice poker room in Subic now.
