InterCon is a 'bit' away, vs - GB- area - but has a disco at the same place ..

Then again, as long as you are in Makati, you are ok ..

decent02 you can use the 3G Sticks there, with a local SIM Card - and it is freaking cheap .. don't ever use hotel Wifi unless your company is paying

mostly hotels who charge PHP 1000 per day for internet access, if u r staying such hotels, i think they r definitely on company expense.

the middle range hotels in Manila, by and large, provides free internet service. not exactly the fastest but general surfing purposes, emails, messenging, more than capable. so logically, u shouldnt need to buying broadband sticks etc.

for your smartphone surfing, just do the per day or per 3 days usage at PHP 100 or so i think + -

and for me, I'd rather spend the 1000 somewhere else if it is my money

And you can also pick up the Smart Bro (the 3G stick) for 3,000 peso if I remember correctly ..

and my hotel policy is - don't stay in expensive hotels, even if the room comes with major discount- as, after all, other expenses incurred will be at the regular rate

Hi everyone! I will be goin to makati for work for 3days. Where do i buy this SmArt Sim? Does it work on iphone5? And whr shud i go if i wan a gd rub plus extra of cos.

yellow5001 · #**3772** 09-05-2013, 04:57 PM

if me, i wouldnt take massage places. I prefer the girl bars of Edsa/Burgos to FL places like Havana/MBC and prefer Havana/MBC to the massage places which would rank last on my list.

For the bars, i prefer Edsa to Burgos.Bar Fines are PHP 1650 and ST and LT is fully nego between u and the gal but will prob range PHP 2500 for ST and 3500 for LT.

for the FL scene, i would prefer Havana to MBC. Havana is located at Greenbelt, any taxi diver will know how to get to Greenbelt.

But my top personal choice r still the Roxas clubs over all of the above. No fight.

Smart SIM - in Singapore, for voice, you can pick it from Lucky Plaza, minus data

For Data SIM, get it in Philippines - just get a 3G Dongle to avoid the hassle of switching, if you are using only for Data, so you can plug to your laptop when needed.

Check on http://www1.smart.com.ph/prepaid/offers/data

Of course you can use the Globe or Sun also .. somehow I been stuck on Smart

.

PBurgos girls now don't smile for less than 3,000 for ST

no kidding .. unless you have somebody to bring down prices .

As for the rest, if you can afford it, flaunt it

yellow5001 · #**3774** 09-05-2013, 06:00 PM

the Roxas clubs not that damage, was at Infinity last night. Lots of babes and lots of customers.

Blardi Cebu flight from Singapore supposed to leave 5.40 pm. only took off at 7.10 pm. 1.5 hours late !

Went straight from T3 to Infinity and place was about 60% full.

Took a chinita looking gal ! MingMing

Bought her 2 ladies drink, paid the barfine PHP 1200+ PHP 6000 = PHP 7200.

Had a coke for myself, PHP 200. Tipped Mami PHP 400 and waiter PHP 50.

Enjoyed oursleves at Cowboy Grill Mabini b4 going back to the hotel.

Tipped her PHP 500 in the morning. Good time mah !

All in damage = PHP 8350.

My take on Infinity club
8000 peso plus for one night LT is quite pricy
I got two nights LT from the same gal at 2nd floor Manila Bay Cafe or LA cafe
1st night quoted me 4000 peso...I paid her 3000 in the morning
2nd night never quote me and I paid her 2000 peso for LT (stay till 1 pm)
There are gems to be discovered in LA cafe...it takes some effort and luck.
My gal in LA cafe works only in the 2nd level. some gems there...one look like a student.. spotted a few fair ones too.
My recommendation is to first have one drink in the first level to survey the scene.
if No target, move to the second level.
They will just hard sell choc to you....reject it
beer very afforable at 300 peso per jar or they call it pitcher...
enjoy while it lasts....election coming

sappyd · #**3776** 09-05-2013, 07:57 PM

Where is la cafe located? Isit near mandarin oriental?

Hahahaha · #**3777** 09-05-2013, 08:00 PM

Smart will reply you the balance amount in your sim

4 or 5 star hotel charges very high on internet connection
My hotel charges 900 peso per day for unlimited usage
You can save by using your smart phone as portable wifi hotspot.
Get a sim card from smart and load up
300 peso could last a day of heavy internet usage
