Some food for thought for bros thinking of going in April. Obama is making an official visit to the PI in April and going by past history of US leaders coming for visits..... the PI will wayang wayang and step up its efforts on human trafficking to show to the visitor.

Be prepared for intensified raids and crackdowns on the bars and FLs.

There are many money changers near your hotel. Out of Devera towards Fields are about 8 changers. I usually use Zenny. Highest last week was 35.50 but slided to 35.20p.

I have used a numbers of money changers at Fields Avenue/Walking street (quite a numbers of them around) and, so far as I know, the best rates given is the one (don't remember name) next to High Society.
It's tiny office, but the rates given is highest that I have come across anywhere in that area.

That moneychanger actually is Walkabout's blackshop.... so called because the shop is painted black
Yes it has the highest rates in Fields Ave for certain currencies like USD, £, A$, Euros. As you can see they do more of the angmo business. For S$ it is still acceptable to change with them as the rate is reasonable but of course you can get better rates further down fields nearer to checkpoint.

Breaking news !!

RAID in progress at Nemesis (formerly Genesis)..... 6 jeepneys fully loaded with girls are brought back. Also brought back are 2 Korean men (not sure why they were detained but rumours are they did not have any identification with them).

This latest raid signals a wind of change as previously Korean owned bars are left alone. It looks like they are starting to target the Koreans now.

A reminder to all to please carry some form of identification with you at all times. NBI regulation states any foreigner without identification is guilty of an offence punishable by up to 3 years jail and 100,000p fine.

Lovers Paradise has closed again. Apparently they reopened prematurely a couple of days ago but has now closed as City Hall did not approve their permit. (Rumours are it could be months before they can reopen as the amount they offered was not sufficient). Aby Lynn & Jack Flash remains closed.

Shadows on Santos is still closed and strangely Heaven bar next door is empty now..... abandoned.

Hi bros. Im going for my virgin trip to AC this april. Just wanted to ask is it advisable to go solo as im planning to go alone. Also, can anyone recommend a good hotel for a newbie like me ? I was thinking Pacific Breeze ? Lastly, will there be raids in april ? Apologies for the many questions, any advise is greatly appreciated. Cheers
