There is also some truth in your statement...I prefer to think of Ladies Drinks as some kind of tips to them. Do you notice that they never ask for tips?

Actually the newer Boeing 777 models are all 3-4-3. Just got off one of these sardine cans. Wish I could afford the business seats as they are 1-1-1-1 with all fully reclining seats (or flat beds as the Americans will call it). Oh well, gotta play the lottery again today.

Totally true. Cos you will not give her any tips since you have already bought her LD. Was in one of the perimeter bars during happy hour. This is what the dancer told me: P45 for her, P5 for mamasan, rest is the bar.

Just got back from a weeks trip there. Prices of everything going up. Beer up. LD up. EWR up. Going rate of EWR in perimeter bars is P1500 & Fields at least P2000. No problem of getting BF in any bar. They even say out the word loudly. You need to pay first before they get changed. Not like last time where you pay together with your drinks. One bar even ask me to wait outside for my BF.

Weather was cloudy with occasional rain. That doesn't stop me from barhopping even to the perimeter bars. I only went to bars on perimeter & upper fields this trip. Had a great time there. No problem of beggar on this trip. Just say "alis" if one pester you for money.

I was just there for a 2 day layover to see some old friends but not enough time to meet up with all of you guys. My impression is the bars are more relax now than about 3 mts ago when the raids were still in force. I didnt have enough time to scout out my usual fav. bars to talk to some managers that I know so not sure if the prices will continue to increase or not due to payouts to city hall and "inspectors" to keep bars open. Its the price of doing business but at least its still cheaper here than almost anywhere else.
And yes, some bars will not let girls walk out with you together as they dont want spying eyes to associate your payment with bar with release of girl to you so it will be the new normal for some bars. Don't sweat it as bars have to at least try to protect themselves--can't blame them as they are constantly under pressure. So just roll with it and be thankful we can still get the girl

Will try to hook up with some of you guys again when I can get away from work.

Note: not all bars will respond to "barfine" if they dont know you as a regular so try to avoid saying those words if unsure. It could mean being turn down for service. Remember some bars that were hit are still on edge. Just a reminder to all so not to be confused why they turn you down, now go out and have fun.

Cheers all

Not really. Drinks is a big part of the bar business. They need this to stay afloat. BF helps the bars bottom line but its only part of the profits, drinks are the major part.
So if you like a bar, order a few drinks and LDs, this will help keep the bars alive and open so they can survive , don't forget drinks also help the girls out as they are there to try and make some money for themselves and family. Also, you will have more fun doing so as it will loosen you up and also loosen the girls up.

Note: even a cheap charlie like myself can have alot of fun, just order a few drinks here and there at the right time and with the person you like. Being a Cheap charlie means "control spending" but it still means you still have to SPEND to have a good time--just my take on this matter.

Cheers

Hi FZ,
Yeah, know what you mean. I was stuck on one of those 777 on last trip. They stuck me in the middle of the 4 seaters. What a bitch to try and make it out to bathroom as everyone on my row was dead sleeping.

Cheers buddy, let me know when is your next trip so we can hang out again.
