5. Freelancer (Cafe)
Havana Cafe in Greenbelt 3, next to Starbucks, even Starbucks itself, are filled with freelancer every nights. Some said you can find OL looking for pocket money or rental income in these places, but so far I have no luck... I mean I saw them, but they are not up to my standard. Mind you that I work in Makati CBD and I have my fair amount of eye-washing moments with those oozy OL, but what I saw at Havana are not like them.

Anyway the saying is, OL will be there before 9pm. After 9pm and by 10pm, it'll be occupied by freelancer. Now OL means they are "part-time". Freelancer are full time. Once I talked to a freelancer and asker her where she worked she said "here!" haha silly me. very first time in Havana.

Rate: Saying is 2k for OL. As recent as Dec 2014 info. Freelancer is 3k up. Most will quote at least 4k to be begin with. As in anywhere in Manila, beware ladyboy in these place.

Another cafe filled with freelancer is LA Cafe (LAC). Although on map it's called Manila Bay Cafe or Cafe Manila Bay. Whatever. It's in Malate. LAC is great because
a. NO ladyboy, guaranteed. The management will kick anyone of suspect out
b. Upstair has live band and snooker table. Good for hangout. Live band entrance is 100P only, worth the price.
c. ALL and ANY lady in that cafe, except maybe waitress and singress (maybe?), are freelancer.
d. it's open 24/7. (for day roamer... maybe?)

rate: SML 125, no LD but beware some lady may hardsell you LD on behalf of the cafe, esp if you drink a little. Just insist what they can drink. definitely no BF. Typical price is 3k up, but surely you can nego depends on your skill and chemistry. Since they have live band and pool, it can be more fun interacting with the lady you like and invite to drink with you, hence make it seem like a date or ONS. quality or girl vary, but on weekend there can be easily 100 girls in there so take your picking.

... and if by say, 2am or 3am, you can find your cuisine, try nearby freelance spot... (to be continued)
