4. Would definitely check bars - but will try non pro pickup first - tips appreciated..

Cheers
This what I did on my trip.

1. I paid the subscription for a Pinalove account. Be sure to ignore any girl that asks for money to be sent before meeting. They are most possibly located in a Mynamar/Laos boiler room operation. Regardless any girl expecting money for nothing is not a girl to meet.

2. I carry a wad of AUD cash to the country and put in my hotel safe upon arrival. Change enough every 2-3 days. ATMs are around but they all charge fees like P290 per 10,000 max withdrawal. so $7.50 charge on $250 plus a home bank charge of 3%. Cash was be a much better exchange rate, not at airport. Just be wise and don't advertise that you have cash.

3. Makati is a nice introduction area. Lot of clubs and bar in the famous Burgos St but be prepared to pay if you want lookers. I had good times in Angeles. The pinalove game has a huge supply.

4. Be a pleasant and fun person. Things happen with an open mind.

Have a good trip.
