Day 1- The flight to Manila arrived on scheduled. The first segment of the flight had open seats but I wasn't able to grab one fast enough. On the flight segment between Taipei and Manila was packed. Luckily it was a short 2 hour flight. I noticed on the customs declaration form that you must declare all dvds, cds, videos, vhs tapes, etc. upon arrive as importation of these items are forbidden under law. They sure got strict on this recently. I did however bring with me a portable dvd player since I didn't know about the new rules. We went to baggage claim and my bags came out first but we had to wait for my friend's luggage to come out. After going to the money changer we found our hotel pick up service. We were suppose to meet a friend of ours on his cherry trip to the PI but he didn't show up. After checking into Swagman Hotel in Manila we ate a quick snack and then got ready for the night out. We walked down MH Del Pilar to LA Café and stayed there about an hour chatting with some hustlers but we didn't take any offers. We then caught a taxi to EDSA and settled on 200 pesos for the cab fare. The security personnel at the EDSA entrance held my camera before allowing me to enter. We went into the Cotton Club first. It was really slow in there being that it's 10:30 PM already and Cotton Club is the biggest club in the complex. Of course being that it was slow the girls stood around us smiling and saying that they want to sit down beside us. We eventually invited a couple of the GROs to sit down for a drink. The lady drinks are now 197 pesos with the customer drinks rising up to 130 pesos. We chatted for an hour and the girls during the entire time of the interview stuck around urging us to take them out. We finally gave in and agreed on 2000 pesos. The bar fine went up to 1200 pesos now. I heard that if you don't buy the girl a drink then the bar fine is 1400 pesos. We grabbed a taxi for 200 pesos back to the hotel. The girl that I had was a real pro and was rushing things. She was receiving a lot of text messages so I assumed that she had a cell phone "date" lined up after she leaves. She then acted up a little and said that we agreed on 3000 pesos so I got a little upset and had to renegotiate the fee again. I finally got the price to 2500 pesos but then she wanted 200 pesos for the taxi which I grungedly gave up to her. I think I'll have to stay away from her when I return to Manila later in the week. My first night was a little lesson to learn even for a veteran like me. It's the rainy season now and having an umbrella handy is the rule. I'll be going to Angeles City tomorrow and hope I have better success over there.

 

Day 2- I woke up early and had a breakfast buffet in the hotel for 110 pesos. My friend & I checked out of the hotel and bought a ticket to Angeles City on Fly the Bus. It was a nice ride for once with an AC that worked and they also played a movie on the TV screen. My friend got lucky to have a seat to himself. Someone sat next to me so I wasn't so lucky but still more comfortable than a van. It took 2 hours to reach Angeles City and then we were transferred to a van for the short ride to our hotel. We checked into Central Park Hotel and asked the front desk clerk if our friend had checked in and they said no. So we still haven't found our friend who is on his first trip to the Philippines. After unpacking we went to a cell phone shop so my friend can get a sim card and load. He chose the cheaper Smart. I have Globe so I hope they are compatible. My friend went to Margarita Station for a bite to eat. I went to the internet café to catch up on my e-mails and such. We met at the lobby later on for dinner. We ate at Sub Delicious. I had the pancit bihon which came with rice but the pancit had too much shoyu in it. The first bar we went into was La Bamba. The other shift of dancers haven't arrived yet so only the first shift was present. I decided to buy my first lady drink of the night with a not so cute dancer. The lady drinks are 150 pesos and the average price for a beer is 85 pesos here. The exchange rate in Angeles is 45.30 to the dollar. The girls weren't that exciting so we walked over to Dollhouse to look for my waitress girlfriend but she wasn't working now so we just had a quick drink looking at the 3000 peso bar fine show girls. We next to Carousel next for a quick drink and my friend told one of the dancers that he'll come back later for her. We continued to see some of the newer bars such as Atlantis. Lots of dancers but the dance floor is too far away for interaction with the dancers. Next we went into Lancelot and I talked to the old time Mamasan that I knew from the old Tahitian Queen days. I didn't see anything I liked there. Next we entered Champagne and it was very busy there. I asked about a girl that I seen the last time but she was off tonight. They said to come back tomorrow and asked me to bring some chocolates with me. We went back to Carousel for my friend to pick up the dancer he saw earlier. he paid the 1300 peso bar fine for her. We then walked over to Icarus which is all by itself in an alley off of Field's Ave. The music volume was really low which made for easy conversation. There wasn't many dancers in there and it was a below average line-up. It was getting late now and my friend went back to his hotel room with his date. It's 2:00 am now and I'd better start hunting for my score. I strolled into Camelot and quickly call down a dancer. We were hitting it up pretty good and finally I popped the question of having take out. Then she hit me with the menstruation line. I had wasted my time in there so I quickly walked over to Crystal Palace which I earlier noticed had a lot of dancers. I scanned the dancers but I was wary of the show girls that went for 3000 pesos. Then my waitress suggested that I take a look at a waitress that walked by and then I had her call the girl for me. It's close to closing time so I'd better grab this waitress quickly. She had a slim body which is what I'm into. She didn't have much on top but I was getting desperate already. I quickly paid the bar fine and off we went back to the hotel. We watched a movie and then got down to business. It was a rather intimate moment compared to last night's girl in Manila. She told me in advance that she had to leave at 6:00 AM and I agreed to that.

 

 

Day 3- I didn't get to sleep until 7:00 AM this morning so I slept in and skipped breakfast. I woke up at 12:00 noon and took a shower before watching the extra innings of the All Star game on TV. I went with my friend to Clark SM Mall to check out the mall scene and the movie schedule. We ate lunch at McDonalds. They were selling the coke limited edition Olympic glass for 20 pesos with purchase of a value meal. I bought one and may buy another one on my next visit to the mall. After that I went to the internet café to catch up on the news and such. We ate dinner at Margarita Station and then stopped in for happy hour at Coyote Ugly. The name of this bar really says it. The girls are ugly and the bar wasn't really that busy for happy hour prices. We then headed to Road House for the last call for happy hour which was buy one get one free. The dancers there were an improvement from Coyote Ugly. Road House was busy and they play rock & roll music there. We then headed to Champagne to check if the girl I had from last year was still working. She wasn't but to my surprise I ran into my former girlfriend there. I always seem to run into her the last few trips. It was a welcome meeting, though, and she's not the type to rip me off. We caught up with the old times. We went to Typhoon next because my friend wanted to check on a girl he had last night. The line up was average at the most but the bar seems to be almost to full capacity. My friend went into Coyote Ugly again but I didn't want to go in there again so I waited for him next door at Brown Sugar. I entertained a dancer and found out that she was a cherry girl but what the heck-she looked pretty good and that's worth a lady's drink. Otherwise the line up was fair. I may try to visit this cherry girl every night for a drink to see if I can make some progress with her. My friend finally came in and said that he'll go back to Typhoon to take the girl he saw earlier out. I'm on my own now so I walked into Tropix and the girls were a little above average in the looks department. One of the door girls wearing those familiar brightly colored wigs of the Doll house trademark escorted me into the bar. She was chatting with me which is like GRO style. I stayed there an hour before heading to my last stop at the Blue Nile. As I walked inside I was surprised to see how slow it was for the popular bar. Normally around this late time at 2:00 AM this bar is really jamming with standing room only crowd and a dance floor packed with some of the best looking dancers (they also have an attitude problem) on stage. That's what surprised me so much was the lack of customers. I guess the slumping world economy due to record high oil prices have slowed things down quite a bit. There still were lots of maganda dancers but only a few customers. By 2:30 AM there were only 3 customers left inside counting myself. I left just before closing time and went back to my hotel to wait for a girl to meet me at3:00 AM. I had to wait near the hotel lobby as a bakla was bugging me when I waited near the hotel's entrance. Let's hope I find a nice one tomorrow night.

 

Day 4- I was awaken at 11:00 AM from a phone call from my friend. He wanted to check if I was ready to eat breakfast. I told him I'll be ready in half an hour. I'm still tired since I had a late night visitor last night and didn't get to sleep until 6:30 AM. I haven't been getting much sleep on this trip so far due to my late night rendevous. We had breakfast at Margarita Station and then went to Action Travel to confirm my hotel bookings for Manila on my final night in the Philippines. The money exchange rate dropped today to 45.35 pesos to the dollar. I've been changing a couple of hundred dollars a day so I'm over budget as usual. Prices for everything have gone up since the last trip. The bar fine range in the 1300-1350 peso range for regular dancers and 3000 pesos for the show girls. The beer prices range from 85-95 pesos. The lady drinks average around 150 pesos. I was going to check out the body massage place looking to see if I can find my special masseur from the last trip but it's getting late now so it's time to eat dinner at Margarita Station. After dinner we went to La Bamba for happy hour. The dancers in there were mostly on the slim side which is good. We next stopped at Camelot and the dancers there are mostly thin, too, with no chubbies on stage. We moved on to Coyote Ugly and the line up is just as bad as the bar's name suggest. We then walked on Real St. and went into Agasya Bar. It's Korean owned and it seemed that all the customers were oriental. It was busy inside with a constant show girl theme there. It's not my type of place to drink at but I guess I'll give it a try anyway. We then walked over to Champagne for a drink and to visit my ex girl friend. I bought her a drink and we talked for awhile. My friend took a girl from Champagne but will pick her up later. We then popped into Blue Nile which was busy this time. There were lots of dancers on stage but I haven't taken any from there yet. My friend then picked up her girl and went to the hotel. I continued on my quest to find my companion. I hurried into Brown Sugar to visit the cherry girl for a short talk. I didn't stay too long because it was starting to get late. I popped into Tender Touch which looks like a hole in the walk as you walk into the entrance. You then proceed down a short hallway and then enter the small intimate bar. There were about half a dozen dancers in there and 2 other customers. I got the girls going after I brought out some of my tricks. I also brought out my digital camera and quickly the girls wanted to have their pictures taken. I shot quite a few pictures and I'll have to get prints tomorrow to give to them. I then I waltzed into Lancelot and to see if I can find something. Once inside I set down and scanned the dance floor looking for my dream girl. The mamasan sat down beside me and she suggested a dancer for me. She came by and I gave my approval to buy her a drink. After some small talk I decided that she'll be my choice for the evening. This girl had the largest susu of the ones that I've had so far on my trip. I was told by the Mamasan that the girl will walk out first and then I'll walk out a minute later to join her. She said there were cameras all around the bars watching for customers leaving with the girls and then arresting them. This precaution is to play it safe. This girl was the first one that stayed until late morning.

 

Day 5- It's past the half way point of my trip. The first 4 days went by fast and my enjoyment in the Philippines is winding down. I'll have to make the best of it on my last 3 nights in Angeles City. I was awaken at 11:00 AM by a phone call from my friend. I took a shower and got dressed to go out for breakfast. The girl left a few minutes ago so I went downstairs alone to meet up with my friend. We then walked over to Margarita Station for lunch. While my meal was being prepared I went to the money changers and was shocked to see the exchange rate really dropped. Yesterday the rate was 45.35 and today it's down to 44.60. That's a big dip for one day. I reluctantly changed money at the much lower rate since I was low on pesos. After eating at Margarita Station we walked over to Clark SM Mall to meet up with a couple of girls from Tender Touch to develop the pictures from last night. I waited there over 30 minutes but they haven't shown up yet. I got some text messages but still they haven't shown up. Finally one of the girls showed up but it's not the one that I wanted to see. She told me that the girl I was waiting for is still on her way. It's already 1 hour of waiting so I went and got the digital pictures printed. It'll take 30 minutes to finish. The price is 7 pesos for each 4x6 print. We walked around the mall for awhile but the girl still hasn't showed up. Her friend is still trying to contact her without any success. I picked up the pictures after it was ready. It was pretty good prints. I finally decided to give up waiting for her and I walked to the internet café with my friend. I stayed in the internet café for 1 hour and was charged only 20 pesos. It's so much more cheaper than Pattaya. We had dinner at Margarita Station as usual. We then went to Road House for the 2 for 1 happy hour drink special. They also had finger food for snacks. We got to see their famous Thunderstruck dance on stage. Next we proceeded to Champagne so I can see my girl there. I chatted with her and got another free pass for tonight. We strolled over Tender Touch next and I gave the girls the pictures that I took last night. I even threw a basket full of ping pong balls for 300 pesos. It's amusing to see the girls scrambling for the balls. Also it helps to liven up the small bar with only a few customers. I took more photos in the bar and I'll get it developed tomorrow to give them then. My friend had left me as he didn't want to stay in Tender Touch. I called him up after leaving the bar and we met at Honey Pot. The line up was fair but I may stop by tomorrow night for their Aussie BBQ dinner since we didn't try the one at Viper Room tonight. Our next pit stop was at Doll House. There were lots of dancers on stage but they seem to have the same attitude problem that the Blue Nile girls have. My friend went his separate way to pick up his date for an early rendevous. I was on my own so I first headed into La Pasha which had a fair line up of dancers. Nothing really interesting in there. It was starting to get late so I then hurried into Carousel to pick out a girl one way or another. I just looked for one that looks interested so I don't have to waste a lot of time in the late hours. The interview of the dancer went well and we were off to the hotel. I picked one that seemed to have an above average susu but sometimes looks can be deceiving. Right after the deed she suddenly remembers that she left her cell phone in her unlocked locker. She said she had to go their immediately. To me I think she was just making an excuse to leave early for only a short time. I really don't believe the story otherwise she could have just walked back to my hotel after picking up her cell phone. The excuses just continue.

 

Day 6- It's one more night left in Angeles City and then it's off to Manila. I woke up early due to a phone call from my friend who was ready to eat breakfast. I didn't get to sleep until 5:00 AM and it was only 10:00 when he called. I got up anyway to get ready to go out for an early lunch. I reconfirmed my return flight with the airlines. I went downstairs and met my friend. We went to Margarita Station and I had pancit bihon for lunch. We walked over to the Clark SM Mall after I exchange some money at a much lower rate of 44.20 pesos to the dollar. We waited at Jollibees for a short while and then the waitress showed up with her niece who also works at the same bar. We ate a quick lunch at Jollibees before going upstairs to see the movie Hancock. The price of the balcony seating was 110 pesos. After the movie we walked back to Field's Ave. to catch up with our e-mails at the internet café. We ate dinner at Margarita Station which was the same as Thursday-Mongolian BBQ. After the meal we went to Champagne so I can see my ex girlfriend again. I wanted to check with her and tell her that I'll be leaving Angeles City in a couple of days. It's busy as usual there with average looking dancers on stage. I then proceeded to Honey Pot for their Aussie BBQ dinner which will be served after the dance show. The contest involves the customers buying 3 garlands for 100 pesos and you give a garland to the dancer of your choice. I'm one of those guys who route for the underdog so I gave mine to the dancers with no garlands. The show was running a little late so I bought myself another drink and also 3 more garlands. I chose the girls the same way giving it the underdogs. Finally the contest ended and the regular dancers returned to the stage. Finally the BBQ steak dinner consisting of a piece of steak (not sure if it was beef, pork, or kangaroo meat), potato salad, and a slice of french bread. It was just the right amount to carry me through the night. We then went into Tender Touch to pick up my date and also to liven up the atmosphere there. I bought some lady drinks and gave away the pictures that I took last night. The dancer I took was petite but still looked pretty good. She nice susu and had a nice personality. She ended up staying the longest of all the girls so far. I gave her a larger tip than the other girls. She's the first one that I went an extra round with on this trip.

 

Day 7- After waking up I went for another round in the morning with the girl before letting her go. I'll be meeting up with her and her aunt at SM Mall this afternoon. I checked my finances to see if I can make it through the rest of my trip without changing more currency. It'll be close, though, but I'll see how it goes. I made the bus reservations with Fly the Bus for 2 passengers-myself and my girlfriend. I'll meet her later tonight to give her the details of the traveling arrangements. I went to SM Mall alone ahead of my friend so I can meet the girls at 12:00 noon. I bought some pasalubong to bring back home from Dailey's Pastries which is a kiosk near Goldilocks. I also bought some ensaymadas to bring to one of my fellow Filipina coworker. I waited about 20 minutes for the girls to show up. I guess they go by Filipino time which is whenever they like to come. We ate at Jollibees but the line was so long and we had to wait for a table that we weren't able to make it to the Mama Mia movie at 12:40 PM. By the time we got to the ticket office it was 1:20 PM already and they close off the sale of tickets to that movie. Instead we went to the Tagalog language movie called The Monster Mom. I didn't understand what they were saying in the comedy movie but some of it was in English. By the way people were laughing in the theater audience I suppose the movie was funny. After the movie I bid the girls farewell and I told them that I may stop by tonight for a quick drink. I got a message from my girlfriend that she'll meet me a 8:00 PM near my hotel. I'll have to adjust my plans for the evening to accommodate both of my appointments. My friend and I walked over to the internet café on Field's Ave to check out e-mails and such. we headed back to the hotel. We decided to try out the Perimeter Road side of the city today. We took a jeepney to the Clarkton Hotel area. The jeepney ride cost 8.50 pesos now. We decided to check out Roadies which also had Wee George's, Lost in Asia, and Saikai next door. Inside Roadies seemed a little better than I had expected from an off Field's Ave bar. They had about 7 or 8 dancers on stage and they seem to be on the OK quality for an out of the way bar. The drinks here are much cheaper than Field's Ave. At Roadies the beer is 60 pesos versus 85-95 pesos at Field's Ave. The lady drinks are 100 pesos on Perimeter Road and 150-245 pesos on Field's Ave. After a quick drink we caught the jeepney back to Checkpoint. My friend went to eat at Margarita Station and I went to meet my girl friend on Real Street. I met up with my girlfriend and we took a trike to Luscious which is next to Jolly Frog in the Friendship area. It's really far away so the trike driver wanted 120 pesos. Inside Luscious they had about 7 dancers total but the Mamasan didn't want to the girls to go topless this time. It could have really been a nice party but instead the dancers were boring to look at when they were actually dancing. We were the only customers inside until a couple of guys came later. We decided to look for a different bar to drink in that wasn't as boring. My girl friend knew one of the waitresses working there and she came with us. It was late around 10:00 PM but my girl friend wanted to walk down the side street full of Korean bars, hotels, and restaurants until we hit Perimeter Road. She then insisted that we walk further down the road and we finally made it to Star Gate after walking about 35-40 minutes at night along a dark road. I was a little worried walking in that area at night but the trike is just too darn expensive. We walked inside Star Gate and I was impressed how nice the bar looked inside and the quality of the girls are just as good as on Field's Ave and it's only a fraction of the price. The prices at Star Gate is the same lower rates of the Perimeter Road bars. The girls are dancing and they seem lively despite the smaller drinking crowd. Star Gate is a rather larger size bar for this area. We decided to call down one of the prettier dancer to have a drink with us while my girl friend interviewed her. She was offering to let me bar fine this dancer but I used my good judgment and declined my girl friend's offer. Drinking in this part of town is really cheap and a good way to start off the night. It was closing time at midnight so instead of waiting a very long time for a jeepney if they have any at that time of the night we decided to catch a trike. The problem is that the trike driver knows that they have us by the balls so they demanded a high price of 100 pesos to take me back to Field's Ave even though we walked half way already from the far away Luscious Bar. My girl friend went back to her home with her friend and I went back to bar hopping. I called my friend t o find where he was at. He was a Coyote Ugly and told me that the Aussie BBQ for the evening was cancelled so I decided to order an Uncle Sam burger next door to the Bunny Ranch. I met up with my friend and we went into Atlantis. He took one of the door girls inside with him and bought her a drink. I called down a dancer and bought her a gateraid. She wanted me to buy her sister a drink so I also got her the gateraid. My friend changed his mind about the door girl and she he'll be doing his search early so he could get more sleep. I paid for the dancer and was shocked when I saw the drink bill. The lady drinks were charged at 245 pesos instead of the standard 150 pesos. I guess I was a victim of the Dollhouse Group of double lady drink prices. I guess I'd better ask the drink price from now on to avoid anymore surprises. I took the dancer to the hotel room and then she watched TV for a while before I did the deed. She then makes up an excuse that she has to go back to the bar before closing time. She pulled a short time on me. This was my last night in Angeles City so I'll be heading to Manila tomorrow. It was nice in Angeles City. The prices of everything was up whether it was food, hotel, transportation, drinks, shopping, and etc. The exchange rate took a nasty sudden dip in the middle of my trip so I wished I had exchanged more money earlier in the trip.

 

Day 8- I woke up early this morning because I'll be leaving on the 12:00 noon bus to Manila. The pick up time is 11:30 AM. It's 8:00 AM now and I'm still tired because I didn't get to sleep until 5:30 AM last night. That's only about 2 and a half hours of sleep. I walked over the an open internet café as most of the businesses are closed at this time of the morning. After catching up on my internet needs I went into Margarita Station to buy some souvenirs. The money changers are still offering 44.40 pesos exchange rate. I walked back to my hotel and ordered breakfast via room service. My girl friend will be coming to meet me soon at the hotel so I'll have breakfast with her while I also finish packing up my clothes and such before I check out of the hotel and catch the bus to Manila. My girlfriend shows up a little late but still before the bus comes. She said she'll wait outside while I finish checking out of the hotel. My friend also finished checking out so we all waited for the van pick up to take us to the bus. The van arrives around 11:30 AM on schedule and we loaded up our luggage before entering the van. It was a short ride to the bus that was waiting on the side of Field's Ave. We got in and it wasn't full yet. The bus headed for Swagman Hotel and we picked up the remaining passengers. We were lucky that we got on the bus earlier as the bus was full this time. I was able to sit with my girlfriend for the ride to Manila. The AC wasn't working that great this time and it was rather warm on the bus. We made it to Swagman Hotel in Manila in 2 hours. We then hailed down a taxi and the 3 of us barely fit into the small taxi but luckily my girlfriend only had a small bag with her. It was a short ride to the Executive Plaza Hotel. The taxi fare was 80 pesos which my girlfriend negotiated with the taxi driver. We checked into the hotel and unpacked, washed up, and put away our valuables in the safety deposit box in the lobby. We all then walked to Robinson's to grab a bite to eat. We ate at a Vietnamese restaurant that was rather expensive. The meal was light and not filling. My friend went to a fast food restaurant right after the meal to eat a light snack. We walked around for awhile in the mall and I picked up some pasalubong at Red Ribbon to bring home. We then walked back to the hotel to rest up before going out for the evening. We met around 8:00 PM and we walked to LA Café. It was really busy in there but we were able to find a table after the waitress chased away some freelancer ladies to make room for us. We had a beer over there and it was priced at 100 pesos. There were girls all over the place looking for a pick up. You can easily spot them as they try to make eye contact with their prey. My friend had a bunch of girls around him. Of course since I'm with my girlfriend, I don't have any girls trying to pick me up. My girlfriend did chat with one of the girls nearby and asked me if I wanted to hook up with that girl. I quickly answered that I'm with her and that I'm not interested in another girl (to save my butt of course). My friend finally picked out a girl that he negotiated for 1500 pesos. It's a lot more cheaper to get an LA Café girl than one from EDSA or Makati. My friend took his date back to the hotel and my girlfriend & I retired for the evening after another drink. I made an early wake up call so I can get myself breakfast before we go to the airport tomorrow. I checked out of the hotel along with my friend and guess who we see at the lobby. it's our friend that we were suppose to meet in Manila at the beginning of the trip. He said that after a day in Manila he bought a ticket to Bangkok and stayed in Pattaya for the entire trip and returned back to Manila on the final night. We exchanged some stories before arranging for a van from the hotel to take the four of us to the airport for 600 pesos. The ride to the airport was about 30 minutes. I kissed my girlfriend goodby as she stayed in the van that will take her to the bus depot for the return trip to Angeles City. We checked into our flights. The flight was delayed about an hour so we arrived in Taipei late and we had to hurry to the gate to catch the flight to Japan. I didn't get a chance to visit the VIP lounge in Taipei because of the late arrival. I found out the friend that went to Bangkok got lucky and got a seat on the upper deck of the 747. It was still economy class but with bigger roomier seats. My friend and I sat near the back of the plane. We arrived late in Japan because of a late departure. We were told that boarding will begin in a few minutes so we hurried through the security at the transit station and went directly to the gate. We waited there about 30 minutes passed the scheduled departure time and then was told that the plane will board in another 30 minutes. If I knew that I wouldn't have rushed to the gate and I would instead go to the VIP lounge to relax but they didn't inform us of the delay so I missed out on the comfort of the lounge again. We boarded the plane and it was 1 hour delay. My friend & I sat in the rear of the plane again along with a cabin full of Japanese tourists. Our other friend was comfortable in his upper level seat. There was a lot of turbulence on the return flight. Some of the turbulence was rather strong and shook the plane a bit. I was glad when we finally landed at our home airport. I had 4 meals served to me on the 3 flight segments. I passed on the final meal which was a Japanese breakfast as I don't care for sushi. When we exited the plane we were stuck in a queue because we had to wait for buses to take us to the entrance of the immigration station. I think it took over half an hour of waiting before we finally boarded the bus to immigration. The immigration and passport control was OK and our bags were already pulled off the conveyor belt as we were late to the baggage claim due to waiting for the buses. We were given the green light to skip baggage inspection and we were outside and ready to go home. All in all it was a nice trip to the Philippines. The airfare was a bargain considering the high cost of the other destinations. There were lots of available girls and lots of bars to see in Angeles City. After a day back home I'm already suffering from PPD (Post Philippines Depression).
