Cebu city, Philippines
Cebu city is the second largest city of the Philippines located in the Visayas region. The Philippines is a country located in south east Asia in the western Pacific Ocean. The climate is tropical and is usually hot and humid. There are some great beaches to be found on Bohol island only a 1 hour boat trip away from the city. Boracay is not far away by airplaine and has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!
City population: approx. 900,000 inhabitants
Island (province) population: approx. 4,000,000 inhabitants
Currency: Philippine Pesos (1 US$ = approx. 43 PHP)
The city is not big but it has many little side streets, this makes it feel big while driving around in a taxi but it actually is not. There are only a few big main streets and areas. Fuente Osmena is the main city centre where there is alot of traffic and street vendors in day time but still, is very small compared to other big cities.
Filipino people are different from other south east Asian people, the majority are roman catholics and almost everyone speaks or understands English. Keep in mind that the Philippines is a very poor country, the majority of the people earn less than 100$ a month. Filipino people are very patriotic and welcoming and most of them love to get into a friendly discussion with a foreigner.
There is nothing more to do in the city at day time then going to shoppingmalls, restaurants or going to private resorts a short ride out of the city to enjoy the beach side or hang around the swimmingpool with some friends and drink some local beer. Keep in mind there are lots of DTF Filipinas online looking to meet foreigners in Cebu and ofcourse Manila.
I.T. Park is the business district of Cebu city where some large american and local companies put up their call centres and other I.T. related offices. This is the nicest area of the City, this area is spotlessly clean and there are some fine restaurants and bars to be found but it's quite small. The Marriott hotel can be found here as well and has direct access to Ayala shopping mall, this place is great to go out for dinner or to go out in day time and to get some phone numbers.
Night Life
There are quite a few nightclubs in Cebu city that are open 7 days a week, they are open every night at around 10.00 pm. Keep in mind there are alot of professional girls at Mango Square at Maxillom Avenue, here you will find the hookers and the lower class girls who are very easy to get. There is also Pump club near to the Watefront hotel, lots of Korean guys (English students in Cebu) dancing robot-style with Filipinas. Keep in mind Korean guys ALL pay for the girls in Cebu. These places are open 7 days a week. You don't need to dress up to go to these places.
You can meet the more upscale and mature clubbers in weekends at The Loft club in I.T. Park and VooDoo club in Banilad.
There are alot of bikini bars located at Maxillom Avenue. Very beautiful girls, theres something for everyone. You pay a barfine and take her out for the night at a ridicilously low price, most of the time you don't even notice you're actually hanging out with a professionnal because they are actually looking to meet "Mr. Right" while working in the bar and surprisingly it happens quite alot when some Australian or American guy actually falls in love with one of these girls. After 1.00 or 2.00 pm these bars close and you find these girls hanging around in the nearby nightclubs just having fun. I never took one of these girls out but I did get their phonenumbers and met them later on in daytime or afterwards.
Local beer prices range from 1.20$ to 1.80$ in nightclubs. The most expensive beer I ever drank there was at 5$ in Jaguar, a stripclub with private rooms upstairs full of Koreans, Japanese and some old retired American men. Cocktail prices range from 2.50$ up to around 5$ in some upscale little bars who cater to a very local and usual public.
Getting around in the city
There are aircondionned taxis everywhere and they are reasonably priced. They start at 35 PHP. I'm not sure how much they charge per kilometer but a taxi ride of about 11 kilometers is about 160 PHP.
Taxi drivers in the city are straightforward, ask him politely to turn on the taxi meter. There are also little jeeps that you can jump on and they can bring you around for as little as 7 PHP a ride.
Accomodation
Accomodation is cheap and plenty everywhere although there are lots of shitty places. I reccomend the NS Royal Pensionne in the middle of the uptown area. Aircon, WIFI, hot water, TV, for about 1300 PHP a night, i've stayed there and it's perfect.
Filipina girls & women
Well I really love Pinays, they are funny, loving and hot little women. Some of them look Asian, some of them could pass for Latinas and others are just pure Pinay which refers to dark skin and bigger tits than all other Asians. Most of them want a serious relationship with a foreigner for several reasons: financial stability or just because they seem to be more attracted to foreigners. I had a longerm relationship with a Filipina, she was one of the reasons why I actually went there and lived deep in the jungle with her family for a while. These people are very warm and friendly although poverty is everywhere around them, they smile and just make the best out of every moment. It's easy to get girls in the Philippines, they speak much better English than their Thai and Vietnamese couzins and on top of that most of them look up to us Amerikanos (i'm not American, but they call every white man like that, even if you are Russian or Swedish). If you go there just to have as much sex as possible in short period of time then you are maybe better off in the "bikini bars" where you can find girls and take them to your hotel room quickly for a ridicilously low price, they will treat you well because somehow they are doing this to make money but also to find their "Mr. Right" so this way you actually contribute something to the Filipino people instead of trying to get laid for free. If you stay a little longer and want normal girls than just hang around in the shoppingmalls, private resorts or anywhere in the city and start talking to the people. Online dating is also great, there are alot of Filipinas online looking to meet foreigners.
Filipinas are actually the only Asian women who know how to dance, maybe the Spanish influence? If you want a more upscale lifestyle and more educated women than you should probably go to Manila instead of Cebu which is more provincial.
