Philippines - Angeles City -- Afterthoughts
Some afterthoughts:
There's a lot written about AC and many User Guides. I'm not going to
start a new one. Just want to put down some of my own opinions raised
from my first 5 days trip. Plenty of good stuff already in HK forum, thank You guys
for writing these and helping me. I'll try to pay back with these reports.
Also remember, I've travelled around and around a lot. I can take care of my self.
It may look that girls where leading me but I had full control all time.
Wasn't really never drunk in AC. Had just beer. We finns are really heavy drinkers,
if needed. Have tested couple times in UN forces. Others where under table before
me. Same here in China. These guys are always sleeping and we are just about to start!
Does anyone dare to meet me anymore in HK, remember I'm a nice guy!
My whiskey was a present to China!
WOULD I GO AGAIN
- Yes, Yes and again Yes
WOULD I DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY
- not really much, I learned step by step and found the way how
I enjoyed spending my time there, it was my needed holiday
- big mistake for April, I should have gone next day and EWR'd her just to give her
a free day with her kid. This is the only thing I really regret, I didn't realize to do it!
I'll do this to April when next time in AC. Also promised her the Paul SImon cd
with "April Come We Will" song. It's his first solo album made in England in the 60's
for long time only in vinyl and only in Europe (I have the vinyl + cd), now back to topic
You must think I senile just thinking history stuff!
PRE PLANNING
- did too much, a little is good but then just go with flow and find Your way of going
- my list of Bars was useless. Don't trust on others tips, bar is as good as it when
YOU enter, not 1 week ago, not yesterday, not tomorrow, ... It might have been just
me that EWR'd all the hot 10 girls into my own party at ABC just before you came!
ABC HOTEL
- as the motto "You only live once"
- would do it again (see from report the girls actions!)
PHOTGRAPHING
- much easier than I was prepared for, especially in Perimeter, go early and follow
what bar people say and stop when asked
- the bigger the camera the easier it seems to be. I guess the girls think that way?
Mine was Canon 1Ds III with flash, the pro version so it's heavy and big.
'Left my80 mega pixel home. What happens with that - straight to heaven I guess?
- took care not to photo customers and deleted the 2 photos where I accidentally
was naked with the girl (watch out for mirrors)
- find help like I and girls will arrange through friends more open doors to photo
BEGGARS
- just be hard and don't stop or give money (You can't save the world alone in AC)
I give to charity through other channels back home
IS IT DIRTY
- no if compared to many other places to world
- yes if compared to places like HK, Singapore, ..
- not in my eyes, some dirt but no problem (not much rain while I was there)
GIRLS
- respect them, there choices in life are really limited, give and you'll get plenty back
- all I met are really nice ones, also I was treated very nicely by them
- don't play games, don't hurt girls feelings
- truth hurts but lies even more in the long run; we are all human (I hope so)
- hope You see how being nice leads to something more like visiting girls homes,
grouping with your girls friends (J plus friends and me was really nice time)
STREET WALKERS
- exist, but keep away (maybe not clean, might scam, scam with police,…)
- bars are full of girls, these are old enough, registered and somehow controlled
MONEY
- use it for right purpose, reward the girls correctly, tip, by LD's
- don't over waste, throwing money is stupid, you just loose credibility in girls eyes
- girls are used to reasonable life, eating and drinking (barhopping is cheap)
ALCOHOL
- don't get drunk, know your limits
SAFETY
- felt very secure all time
- spoke with local guys and had nice time with all local people
- took photos of kids and local people with no hassle, seemed to like it
POLICE
- wouldn't trust if drunk (wasn't, so never had real contact)
WHAT NEXT
- I didn't follow my own warnings and went there, so have to go again
- will take hundreds of prints to girls (a bit worried what after that?)
- try to meet some of the ones I met .. J, April, Judith (have to take a beautiful pic of here)
also check that the girl is not pregnant, plus daughter is okay and …. Jesus it's going to be
a long list with lot of activities!
- next time a different agenda, I have a plan but let's see how it works, sorry don''t
want to tell now. But a different way of spending my time there as now I have contacts
and know the system; can I ever get lost?
- already emails flowing from PI
