Yeh.

Ugly chicks manage to find people to pay for their condo and schooling etc. Pretty sure the hot ones are doing just fine without burgos

Burgos is incredibly small, of the bars on the street only 2 or 3 are worth going to. The variance on who is currently working is huge and then on top of that theres the variance of who is booked or working on any given night. Sometimes it is great, sometimes it is what lol69 is describing.

Sorry you had a bad time, worth trying again if you are going to angeles though imo.

Is Rouges still good? And by good i mean still there, still cheap beer, and possible to get jerked off behind the curtain seats?

There is a newish gogo, forgot the name but Jspill will know it for sure, can get jerked off there and its quite fun, they have dancing acts and often tourist girls later at night.

Can't remember name of that new one either but yeah Rogue's was still there last I went and Tickles has a backroom for hj / bj

How’s Davao for sports bars / drinking?

Haven't been really any sport bar here, though saw one or two, there are some nice places for drinking and live music(MTS and near gmall), though nightlife kinda sux here as all bars closes at 1am

Thanks! Not a city for me then

Is it still impossible to open a bank account without a work permit? I tried 2 years ago and all the banks needed work permit and proof of source of the money. This was shortly after the central bank of Bangladesh heist.

I was told by Bank of Philippine Islands that all I needed was my passport, ACR, and a small photo.

1- what is the nicest condo building near Mall of Asia?

2- is makati a good option if i wanna play at solaire casino? traffic?

3- amenuities in both locations? I have a healthy lifestyle, sports, diet etc.

The traffic in Manila is the worst (I mean it), MOA sounds like a better idea. Once I stayed in the Henry hotel which is kinda halfway to Makati, even that was a grind back and forth to Solaire/COD. I'm just occasionally there over weekends, so no idea about groceries or gyms, but you will very likely find what you need in MOA or close to it

if u plan to be in casinos a lot u need to stay at or near casinos, but there is nothing else to do there and u will hate life.
If u wanna live in a lively area then prepare to be in taxis a lot

Think Makati is fine if you go max twice a week. If you plan to go daily its gonna be too hard with traffic. Most condos seem expensive near the casinos and not even very nice (average) I think cheapest is near the resorts world

Sea Residences and Shore Residences were both nice but you should just go see all of the apartments in that area because furnishings vary so drastically.

Moa area is nice, but you are trapped there until after 10 or 11pm.

Book an airbnb for a week in each area and find out for yourself, Shell residences MOA and Gramercy Makati

When should I visit imigration office here in Manila to extend my first 30 days? Does it matter if I go there tomorrow (day 10 or so) or on day 25? And can I pay with mastercard there? Also, is it fine if I pay with it wherever it's possible to do so or do I get fckd on fx rate too much? I do pay 4% fx at ATM anyway (no extra fee at HSBC, still 10k max tho at power plants mall).

And there was some discussion about airbnb condos being lady friendly when I asked a while ago - I can report that Acqua residencies is very good at it, no sign up book or anything, guest should just leave ID at front desk and get
a visitors card... or lately I've been just bringing guests straight to elevator with no problems (I've brought normal hardworking girls, no hookers).

And is there a club or a bar with good audio system (good doesn't mean loud) where they play techno or minimal house music? Not interested in hookers / drugs, just would like to have a drink, chill and listen to good music.

Thanks!

HSBC is 40k max withdrawal, best atm by far. (at least branch in BGC)
You need to pay with cash in immigration office and as far as i know u can extend any time

I think you should wait until 15 days are up. When I got my second renewal I wanted to get my six months and ACR right away but they told me I needed to wait two weeks, so that might apply to your first renewal as well.

Best currency exchange near Makati / Mandaluyong ? Look to get HKD to peso.

Not exactly Makati... but resort's world was quite good for HKD at least

Thanks think I go with century city mall.
