Thanks Jmac all of your info helped make my trip a smooth success. Next time I go If you are there beers are on me.
Well after 30+ trips to CR under my belt I finally made it to Manila and AC, I can not stress this enough, the Phillipines blow CR out of the water you cant compare the two its like comparing gold to dirt. (not hating.. I still like CR better than US but comparing the two is like going from a AA farm team to the Major leagues.)

A) First off the people in PI are genuinely friendly with almost no undercurrent of hate and despise and "can I rip you off mentality" like the Ticos, it makes the trip much more enjoyable, everything is said with a genuine smile, not fake.... and its always helloooo sir Mike hello Sir Mike how are you? Everyone remembers your name everywhere, they are just happy curteous and mindful people in PI. I felt truly relaxed on this vacation unlike others very cool feeling. In CR I have fun but I always have my guard up and my head on a swivel, and I never truly get to that relaxed state that a vacation should yield, euphoria and fun in CR yes, but truly relaxed without being on the look out...not in CR at all. This was a huge plus for PI over CR for me (and over RIOs crime for that matter).

B) The food in AC was really not so bad Kokomos had a good jack daniels burger and awesome lasagna.

C) The girls are not mercernary as in CR, yes they like money but they never mention it and will accept whatever tip you give them without comment. They all will want to be your girlfriend and stay over night. Many of them are new with no K*ds (CR its impossible to find a good looking one without K*ds). AND there are not many Ugly fatties, the DR is half fuglys at anypoint in time, in PI there are no fattys. To be fare though there are a lot of 6s and 7s in the mix, but you can find plenty of 10s with out going through the endless bickering you would get from the 10 in DR. Very user friendly.

C.5)And for those of you that enjoy your level of game and have something to prove then there are many girls who say no all the time and are just working there to earn the pesos from the bar and maybe the rich korean once a month who will not wear her out. So pac and all you can test your game on these girls and trying to win them over the reward may be great because most of these girls are low mileage and not harderned.
My friend is a normal looking guy and a pilot, he is also funny and has "game" but I saw him get turned down at least twice a night. Many dont go at all or only with koreans.....but big deal there are so mannny girls.

D) Ditch Subic it is not that great too many cargo ships in the harbor dumping and there are more guys than girls there on the weekends, I went to broadway at 9PM and ALL the girls were barfined already not one girl just a bunch of British punters.

E) Lastly it "seems" much safer in AC than CR, I dont feel I always have to watch my back and wallet.

The only draw back is the flight is expensive and you will spend two days traveling on a plane for a 10 day trip,that 20% in transit if not more...bummer...

So CR definitely retains its niche as more accessible with low airfares. On Everyother count the PI blows CR away its not even worth debating, flame away ID et al but this place beats out even MDE and comes close to rivalling Rio, (Rio has hottter chicks though but with more crime and 3 times the cost.)

Remember the first time in CR and how different and nicer you thought the putas in CR were compared to the US putas, well......take that same upgrade difference as that and place it on top of the CR chicas and you then you have the lovely friendly PI girls. And there was heavy spanish influence as well as US influence so you do see girls that are stunners and not your traditional phillipino look, so there is something for everyone here.....just a bitch of a flight :cry:

I really like the food in AC, I could eat lumpia nonstop. I also agree the girls over there are more apt to give gfe's.

I don't think I feel any safer there though. I generally don't feel my safety is in jeopardy in either place. Definitely never get in a card game in AC though :shock:


Glad you had a good time 8)

Cujo

Exactly. I live in Orlando, so getting to CR is $99 each way and 3 hours non stop on JetBlue. Since my only intention is to go bang hookers and gamble, you can bet I'm going to CR instead of a round the world trip to the Phillipines. Even if I have to put up with a little more BS in CR, the savings are worth it.

True, but when you are sitting in California, not Florida, the argument is a bit different.

I have not been to the Phils. but I can say that Filippinas just don't do it for me in general. It's personal preference, nothing more. And correct me if I am wrong on this, but aren't most of the mongering spots near sea level, therefore hot and humid? If so, there is another reason I wouldn't be inclined to go.

NY... actually...

If I lived in FL I'd be in CR EVERY weekend, not just every 3rd or 4th...

Jejeje - great answer :lol:

However if I lived in Florida, I think I'd also check out some of the other spots like Colombia. Brasil would also be much easier I think.

Living on the west coast makes the Asia flights tolerable. Not easy, but tolerable. And once there, it is incredible.

From California I can go to Tijuana. It is only $45.00 R/T on Amtrak and trolley, and three hours. If I choose, it is less than two hours driving. My personal preference is for Latinas, so TJ works very well for me. :D I know that many will get a good chuckle about that. There is a lady in the Hong Kong Bar that has given me a better session than I have ever had in CR. The more that I go, the more that I know.

If I lived in Florida I would take the extra hour and be in Colombia rather than CR. IMJ, the only thing that CR has over Colombia is the good fellas from CRT.

You want to talk about a journey to PI. I was one of the very unfortunate few in the Vietnam era that went there by ship. It took twenty-one days Long Beach, CA to Subic Bay.

Basically, I love all the mongering destinations. Maybe someday to the East.......

Health & happiness to all...

SB, I was at Cubi Point Air Base during Vietnam, I don't know what AC. or other PI venues are like now, but they could't be any wilder than Olongapo was then. Quite a blast for an 18yo.

Correct Humidity is a bitch, you basically duck indoors all the time because everyone has good air conditioning there, but walking the street EVERYONE breaks a sweat and it smells near Kokomos of asian funk.
However, there are girls that look Latin, and Chinese, or whatever, and there are lots of tens. Sadly you will not find the Medellin beauty types with the large breasts so if that is your deal it is lacking. But if you compared the DR on a friday night and then 300 of the hottest girls in AC then the DR loses big time

I'm filipino and never even knew AC was such a hot spot. I'll definitely check it out when I go again this winter.
