I see. I was thinking bout using a VPN but they can detect it. 1xbet works in there but they're Russian Mafia scammers and it's not safe to deposit 5figures in that site.

AFAIK PokerStars works, so I'd assume their sportsbook works as well, but I have no definite knowledge on this issue.

Hi,

are there any portable wifi boxes where you put a sim card in which you pay on monthly basis?
Just curious if they have something similar like in thailand.
I got a sim card there for 1600(?) with 300 mbps from TrueMove which saved my ass a couple of time.
Just looking for something similar for money.
Any Ideas?

I bought one a few years ago as a back up internet. Think it was Globe.

Was basically useless in terms of having a stable enough connection to grind online.

This was like 4 years ago tho, maybe they figured it out.

They call it a pocket wifi but one I used wasn't good. I'd just get the fastest 3G package on Globe SIM (don't get Smart SIM) and tether your phone in the event you need a backup, and stay in an Airbnb with private PLDT broadband, not hotels

I recommend getting 4G / LTE mobile data with Smart. I just bought a cheap 4G capable phone here, for about $80 USD, but you can use your own cell phone with a smart SIM card. Despite not getting full bars in my condo it is pretty solid, and I get 2 GB for 100 pesos ($2 usd) using promo card GIGA99. And they give you a free extra GB for youtube only every day.

Some quick Manila observations as I complete the sex tourism grand slam:

1/ Makati sucks. I went prime time. Kojax, Plan B, Bottoms, I went to all of them and they all suck. Quotes of 4k bar fine and girls wanting another 6k. I know that's not the right price, but it sets a bad tone. I couldn't be bothered. I wouldn't **** most of them for free.

2/ Beer is cheap. Even in the gogos compared to Bangkok. The regular bars (with freelancers lurking most of the time) are relaxing spots to drink and beer is a bargain. Makes for a much cheaper night out than Bangkok. If I ever become a deathpat this will be a good place to commit to alcoholism.

3/ Danger factor is overrated. Some people jump at shadows. Didn't feel vulnerable walking Malate at 4am 15 beers in and looking for food. I wouldn't walk an unlit steeet with no activity, but I wouldn't do that anywhere. I wouldn't do it in areas of the city where I clearly stand out.

All these horror stories about how you must use Grab, cab drivers will rip you off. Jump in a white cab and tell them to put the meter on.

Some people must never travel outside of Patong or Pattaya if they find Manila sketchy.

4/ Some cute girls in Manila in malls and restaurants. They definitely don't hang about makati.

Have you got any suggestions?

I should have been specific. Burgos gogos suck for girls. Average quality, few stunners, insulting prices. Fine if you want to get drunk.

I don't have time for dating apps. I need to inspect the produce.

What's with seeming normal white guys with ugly and fat Filipinas.

Makes me think these dating apps heroes exaggerate their catches.

They're worse than the Issan girls you see dragging around their white boyfriend/customer in on nut

almost everyone ive met here in asia has absolutely awful grades for girls, those 4s that u see with normal looking guys are 7 in their asia, me and Jspill have pretty much the same scale yet like totally different type girls.

There is like a totally different breed of Filipinas that go clubbing in bgc. Go to Revel on a Saturday night and you'll actually see real talent.

I've always thought tinder/dating apps were a huge waste of time and energy in Asia. Hit or miss as far as actual appearance, topped with the flakiest girls of all time. Not nearly the best option if you're youngish and reasonably well put together imo.

Also of note, the competition pool for foreign dudes on tinder is much worse than you'd expect. Tons of guys using tinder in their home country before they arrive - competing for the same small % of good looking girls.

I had so much good luck with Scout in Manila it was sick. But i am a solid 7.5/10 plus a freaking cool dude, so maybe that helps?

Hmm I use tinder and have better success than I thought I ever would. Pretty easy to arrange meet ups. And I’m probably like 4 or 5 in West. So imagine if you guys are as good looking as you make out to be, you could have much better success and tinder would be easy.

I would advise paying for it to see who likes you though instead of swiping. (Yes I know they appear closer to the front anyway, but just less time consuming, and added benefits of 5superlikes, picks of the day with hotter women etc)
