It is part of the perils of the season ..

Ha ha, its only Sept and already Christmas shopping for them. But when it comes to crime, its always Christmas for them. Best to beware and only carry as much as one needs for the days use and even then, wear cargo pants with 10 pockets and spread money all over them--thats how I survived in AC all these years.

Cheers to all and Merry Christmas

AC could be unsafe for those that don't read many of the warnings already posted in this thread and the original AC thread. ex such as walking alone between some isolated bars and streets late at night or wander into small dark streets anywhere in AC that are not meant for foreigners to go into. etc etc.

As to worse than Indonesia, well that depends on where you want to compare as there are many safe places there and some not as safe. ex: most of the Indo places cater to tourist such as Bali are very safe and some cities do have their shady areas.

They are always waiting for christmas.and Christmas to them is just another season for them to ask for gift,money for nothing so that they can be merry,yet forgetting the real meaning behind the Xmas day.

I experience that 2 trip for 10days of being constantly ask for donation,girls after girls putting thier stupid hat out asking for money every 20second upon entering & seated in a bar,donation box get shove right in front of your face,people explaining thier 1million reason for more expensive goods when u try purchasing something.now I avoid that period.

2weeks ago when I was returning with a girl to xx bar to pay the continue barfine,the so called sister pound on me like a mad dog together with the mamasan asking me to barfine them both when she learn that I'm going to Angeles town theme park.made a joke with them that I need a lovely romantic private date with my barfine only.

Next she just comment since u can't bring us there just give us 100peso each like I owe them.I ask give 100 peso for what,she still dare to say for nothing,just give only and laugh.ask her she think my money grow on tree,she say yes!I have many money.comment to her that I don't give out money for nothing,she can go find another sucker.and I'm not Santa clause.she can still say Xmas is coming!

Now I hate people asking money ask nothing but when I met those I love a little banter just to see what kind of shit comes out from thier mouth & thier mentality.

This type girl is 100% to avoid when I 1st saw her I already have some spider sense about her and I'm right.she can ask my girl for money when she herself got customer everyday & pulls a runner everytime.the reason she ask for $$ becos my girl has continue barfine(me) and she doesn't!

Mentality zero.

Just a short shout out to all the brothers (Ziebart, Datou, Guapo, etc).. Miss cheonging with you guys.. now days super duper busy.. No chance to escape.. but desperately trying to find a chance to go.. sigh...

In the mean time till I get to go.. I'll experience AC via all your wonderful posts! Take care all..

[1NinBKK]

Any generous bros here willing to come up a FAQ post in this thread to share their valuable experiences for newbie in AC? Example: Places for dinner, Bars, Hotels and general damages etc? Thank you.

To all bros on the ground in AC, do take care and hopefully avoid being "collateral damage" in the turf wars presently going on.

The owner of the Golden Nile group of bars had an attempt on his life last night.
The hired guns fired 17 rounds of 5.56m & 9mm calibre bullets into his vehicle while he was on his way home. Luckily Richard Agnew managed to escape from the ambush with just minor injuries.

Richard's business partner David Balmer was similarly killed last year while sleeping in Richard's home and the latest attempted hit was believed to be related to the previous murder of David Balmer and the acquisitions of the bars owned by Richard's group.
