  1. Rates could change anytime but was 120php for an air conditioned newer model car, and 75php for a grab trike to nearly anywhere in AC with non sketchy, sober drivers... however during 'non demand' hours. It's like uber so grab has bullshit algorithm that determines times with higher demand and maybe in peak time your return fare could go up to 300php for a car. Use GrabPay and you just get in and get out, no tips or cash needed if you don't want. Takes 10min or so for them to arrive so perfect for food takeout, by the time your order is ready at Banh Mi Ngon restaurant grab trike is there to pick you up. Works for WeChat 'dates' too, have grab pick up your date and deliver using GrabPay, date pays nothing.

  2. Anybody going long term to Angeles who already has a g/f, and wants a real house, this place is $25/usd a night run by a German dentist in a quiet subdivision, plus you can rent his scooter if you're brave enough to drive in Angeles or just use grab app to book a car anywhere https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/22167611?locale=en it's a townhouse with him living next door to you, but you get full private access to the roof patio and that suite is baller. You wouldn't be bringing back street girls here obviously. It's located in EPZA (now Philippine Economic Zone) so affluent neighborhood where foreigners can set up businesses tax free. There's cheaper places on Olx (risky), and AirBnb but I found they had shit furniture and leaky aircon, or inflated electricity costs, or you were staying beside a bunch of roosters and dogs barking all night.

  3. I've found Google Flights is the most 'honest' of all the ticket broker sites, because Kayak, SkyScanner and the rest of them, if they see referral or cookies in your browser from other cheap flights sites they will hide the best deals. Make sure to always clear out your browser history completely if you're checking multiple sites. Another well known trick is use local IP. If you can get a Philippines VPN, or Thai VPN, then look at airline sites directly (like say, get Thai VPN then go to Thai airlines page) you will notice prices are lower as they are priced for locals, and inflated when you land on there with your European or US IP. Often with this method you get at least $200 off, and things like 'preferred seating' will be much cheaper, my reg IP they quoted $160 extra to get a legroom seat, local IP it was only $20. There is also the booking two one-way flights scheme if the country allows this, some countries don't let you enter one-way. Often an airline will quote you a really cheap one way flight to the Philippines then ridiculous amount on return, because that's where they make up the rest of their money. Use your regular internet to book Your Country->Manila, then load up Philippines VPN, and book one-way back MNL->Your Country. Often can save hundreds this way (clear all cookies too). Note, some airlines got hip to this scheme and now ask you to enter local identification info, like CPF number if flying Brazil airlines when booking to lock out the foreigners who don't want to get scammed by their inflated pricing. In that case you'd need a local you trust to book it for you. Also, sometimes just changing your location on the airline website and not even bothering to use a VPN will work as it did here: http://www.businessinsider.com/use-a-fake-location-for-cheap-airfare-2014-6

  5. what i find with La Bamba is the girls wont hassle u, and if u are in their with a few mates they just get on with what they are doing, unless that is u invite one over for a drink, Its not like say walking into Pookswan firm handed and they are all trying to catch ur eye, and smiling and shaken it abit more when they are up dancing on the poles....So sometimes then i think FM get the wrong idea about this place, and as they aint getting the attention they want they start to think the girls are cold or got attitudes etc....Go in there chill see a girl u like smile and invite her over for a drink, if u dont u maybe sitting on are bar stool the rest ov the night by yourself, I mean they aint mind readers are they? they may think u want to be by yourself for the rest ov the night.....Its a great bar with a laid back scene that u just have to adjust too ....To many FM and guys that go to Patts expect all bars to be the same where the girls will be throwing themselves at u because uve got the Baht, thats the case at most LB Bars but not La Bamba i feel....Regards Garry
