Speech therapy

Manila Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

Philippines! The country that made me fall in love again!

Speech therapy

The people which have met me know that i stutter. Not so much, but its pretty aparent... It not so much , but its getting worse while i get nervous (so.. no good first impression), but today a man from NZ working with speech therapy told me some things and we had a conversation for like 5mins and not even i trace of stuttering.. In english!

For me this is amazing.. The trick where to lift the shoulders and look people in the eyes and just relax.. This is easier said than done since alot of people will thing you are mad if you look straight into their eyes.. But.. this was a great experience..

Hard to leave this place

Its getting harder and harder to leave this place! I have been planning to just get away from Manila since the day ive got here ,but its so hard to leave! Yesterday we went barhopping in Malate and the first try was a Bar called office grill.. Did you know it is a gay bar? With 3guys in girlie clothes dancing up and stage and talking..  Inviting us (a dutch guy and me) up to the stage to get a blowjob and sing... It was actually loads of fun.. but after 2 beers we went on to the next bar. The next bars where just in the tourist area of malate since we didnt want to enter annother bar with either girls or gays.. better to be safe than sorry :)

After a couple of beers we went back to the hostel and found out the some of the staff and some guests also where sitting there and drinking.. We joined them and sat up and drinking untill 5 or 6 oclock.. And i booked one more night since we where planning to go out together on a disco.. so most of the time we are drinking and no time for sightseeing.. It should have been the other way..

Dont know how long these people will be open here in Manila, but they have quite a good show at the corner of Roxas Blvd and Costal Road (tell the taxi driver Bayview Tower and you will see it, stress that its not the Bayview Hotel)..

This is just alot of lights and its impressive to watch all the things they have done with lights.. They have small modells of The Tower in Paris and Tower Bridge (which according to them is built in 100year to late , and after i confronted them with it, they said that i was wrong..). If you dare you can enter this big ball and get turned around by some people who works there (its alot of fun, its worth doing)

Every 30mins or something there is a new impressive show on stage and its worth watching.

Entrance P200
The standard of the building isnt great ,but the service from the staff sure is. There is room from P180 for Dorm and upto P950 for the most expensive room. The rooms are clean, but should have been refurbished some time ago. The matress in the cheapest single rooms (P350) are very thin and not comfortable.

Some services offered:
Internet. 10p for 10minutes
Laundry 300p for everything.. They even fold you clothes perfectly! But go to the laundy shop down the street and do it yourself for P80
Home cooked meals for P50-160
And a fridge with beers and water.
No curfew

The standard isnt good ,but the nice staff is making its hard to leave this place.
Located isnt great, you have to hail taxi or jeepney to get into the tourust area. Its around P70 for taxi so is isnt that bad. Lying on Roxas Blvd 201 near the bayview tower.
We decided to go barhopping. We took the jeepney from baclaran and the jeepned stopped right outside of this place. There came some guys out on the street and told us it where live music inside.. We gave the bar a change , but ut was bnot the kind of bar you might expect.. It was a gaybar..

Most people would have left at this point, but we decided to take some beers. With the entertainment on stage where composed of 3people. 1guy dressed like a normal guy , 1guy dressed in girl clothes and one guy who looked like a girl its really hard to leave because you want to see them dance. Oh.. it was so good.. We where invited up to stage and the floodlights where pointing at it was hard to say now because the entire crowd where looking at us.

The food typical pubfood ,but its not good. The beer is Normal San miguel , san mig light and red horse. So.. Go here to have a good experience and something to tell your friends.
Once you are here to might think you are in heaven.. But its only Nirvana, and we had such a great time here.. Its expensive with P250 entrance and the beers are like P100.. We where there for 2hours and me and the dutch guy split the P1500 that the check was.. so P2000 in a couple of hours!

There are girls in bikini dancing on stage.. normally five at the same time. And when you are dancing on the dancefloor its just to look up and you will see the stage (its just 2meters away).. The only problem is that the girl you are dancing with will catch you doing this since im 180cm and most girls are like 150cm.. so you are looking down the entire night and this short moment you are looking up.

Well.. just a really expensive place , buts also so nice that you dont want to leave. We left around 3AM beacause someone where going to pick us up,but they never showed.. We where so angry beacause we left ,but just kept on having a party at the Hostel.
