I can only guess. It seems the tourist flow from most countries slowed down. But at about 11pm, there were groups of Koreans and Honkies walking Fields.
I glad the beggars are gone. Only pests left are the cigarette sellers and flower girls.

Bro Milkman...... was the promotion the 2-to-fly type....... sometimes these type of promotional fares have restrictions.

I oso bought a promotion ticket during x'mas eve last year for travel to AC on next month..... my friend oso bought the same promotion ticket...... when he found out he was unable to travel...... we tried to transfer the ticket to another friend but too bad they cannot amend the ticket because the T&C for the promotion states No Refund, Non-Transferable, No Amendment of travel dates.....etc

Is this common among all arilines or only Cebu Air? Unlike Bangkok , there are not much options to Clark besides Tiger or Cebu.

Day-4

As stated in the previous post, decided to BF Jan again for another night. Decided to pay her the BF and let her bring back to Ponytail and work for LD while I be doing bar-hopping with bro southaddress.

As usual met for lunch before heading out.
This time we are heading out to the far out at perimeter.

Lost in Asia(LIA)
*********
1st time being so far out. Took their main transport jeepney that cost 10p from the jeep check point to reach here. Ir's around 2pm, went in and there were around 10 gals dancing and not much customer, think there were only 2 customers back then. 1 gal, A, caught my eyes and thats the gal who was playing pool. bro southaddress start the day by playing pool with A. While they were playing pool, I started to take a quick glance at the stage. 3 gals caught my attention but still I was actually view A. Too bad I am not good at pool so no chance to impress her. Then bro southaddress invite me to play pool with A while she taught me where to hit and which ball to aim. Have a nice game with her, but being shy so nvr talked to her much and not even took the opportunity to buy her a drink. So after the game just went back and cont. sitting there drinking beer with bro southaddress. Have a miscommunication with bro southaddress that he actually asked the wrong gal down. So as a gentleman, bro southaddress bought the gal a LD and chit chat with her. And during conversation, we get to know the gal I like is called Mitch. Actually Mitch was being offered LD by a group of Korean customer, but not sure what happened(maybe he have too many gals), she went back up to the stage even though the guy was interested in her. So before we left, Mitch was with a American guy. Decided time to move on to a new bar as we have stayed here like 1-5 to 2.5 hrs

Back to school
***********
And in order to thanks bro southaddress for what he did in the LIA, decided to start buying a LD first. Around 8 to 10 gals were dancing on the stage when we entered, and have the same quietness as in only around 2 customers in here. Well before I picked the gal, decided to play a game with bro southaddress asking him to think whom I would buy LD. He chose the gal with the biggest tits, but was wrong, caused the gal I chose was a small cute syt. Cant remembered her name already, but have a nice time chatting with her. Bro southaddress started his pool again in here too with the waitress. But in the end, he bought a LD to another Chinese look aliked gal. Maybe bro southaddress have used too much energy at night, so he felt hungry and we orderd pizza and have it there. After that, bro southaddress decided to BF the waitress. Took a trike back to my hotel with them while they headed back for round-1. As for me just went back to the hotel and rested at the hotel.

Around 1.5 - 2 hrs later went over to bro southaddress hotel to meet up for dinner at a Chinese restaurant.

After that was a ??? caused I have accidentally deleted the sms on my phone, so not sure how many bars we have hopped before we headed to ...

Rhapsody
*******
Went in here again caused bro southaddress like here alot while, I am ok as able to see the B+ to C+ waitress. If nvr remember wrongly, think bro southaddress met a waitress that served him last year. Bro southaddress bought her a LD and chit chat with her. Nothing much for me to add on, as its always a look look see see for me in here.

La Bamba
*******
Went in here again as we love here alot with waitresses and mummy that we know. As usual was just doing viewing in here. Then suddenly got a sms from bro winfieldgold asking where we were. Showed it to bro southaddress and was discussing whether bro winfieldgold have arrived early. We guessed correct, bro winfieldgold have arrived in AC around 9pm + settled some of his stuff before he started the bar hopping. Have a short chat with him before I headed to ponytail @ 1130pm(promise to meet her @ 11pm) to meet Jan. So the rest of the night bro southaddress and bro winfieldgold were together bar hopping.

Nothing much for me to add on at night as it seems a norm, head to skytrax before bck to hotel.

... cont. again on the next post on Day-5 of my day in AC.

[Wetdevil]

Some quick info for 1st timer to AC.

1) on the plane have to fill up the arriving and departure white form.
2) on arriving, one can choose to leave the plane from 1 of the 2 exits(front and back) to the ground by the stairs. Then you have to walk around 5 min or so to the airport building as the plane are not park next to the building but a distance away.
3) like most airport, the immigration are divided into foreign and local passport. For my case I am lucky cause mostly are local on the plane I was.
4) immigration officer will return you the departure white form and yr passport.
5) when headed to the clearance zone, the officer there will take the departure form. So when you step out of the airport you just have your passport and no form.
6) $ rate at the airport is not as good as compare to the money-changers at field ave. So change your $ at the money-changers around your hotel area.
7) main transport is trike or jeepney. Trike cost more from 50p for short distance while around 100p while further away while jeepney cost only 10p. So if you want to go Lost in Asia or Back to school best to take a jeepney.
8) SML and LD varies in cost due to the place + HH. So do check with the waitress to be sure the price you be paying
9) 1 can choose to reject the waitress if they suggested that the gal like to have a 250p or 300p LD. Most time LD cost 150p unless they go for the bigger LD.
10) not sure is it a must, but its wise for you to leave 10p - 20p when the waitress returns to give you the changes after you pay the bill. for bro southaddress and I always leave 20p.
11) most gals there like to eat the green peas, so if you are kind enough you can either buy for them when the peanut vendors arrive or let the gals choose what they like. 1 small holder cost 20p.
12) when heading back, you will be issued a departure form "again" to fill in 11) then you can head and check-in 1st before you go and pay the airport tax.
13) after that can proceed directly to the immigration where they will collect the departure form.
14) then there will be 1 thorough check point, where everyone have to remove their belts, shoes, slippers etc etc.
15) another check by airline staff on yr passport. During my time it was split by 2 airline, SEAIR and Air Asia.

Happens to me not sure is it always happen
16) someone from the airport will approach you to do some survey
17) UNICEF personnel will also approach you too.

other info
+++++++
fast food restaurants over there.
KFC / Mc Donald / Chow King (like this alot especially the chilli that come with it. I always take combo A{pork fried rice + 1 drink + 3 siew mai})/ Jolibee(most gals like this. I like this too{set C2 where 2 pieces of chicken + 1 drink + 1 rice + 1 sauce})

Hope this can help. And if any bros spotted any mistake feel free to amend and update it.
