Angeles is only 50 miles from Manila. 120 pesos (less than $3) by bus. I've made the trip several times. This is a small city (but still crowded) where you see guys carrying cues everywhere you go. There is a 9' table in every bar and in most hotel lobbies. Money games are few and far between, but just about everyone plays on a bar team. There are league matches going on day and night.
You will even find cue makers with their own little stores right on the main drag. They have cues on display for sale and are building more right on site. Every shop has a photo on the wall with the cue maker alongside Efren, holding one of their cues. :smile:
You can stay in Angeles for $20-25 a night in nice small hotels. The bars are full of beautiful girls hoping to hook up with a nice guy. Did I mention that the main drag (Fields Ave.) is one bar after another. The old Clark Air Force base is now a commercial air field with flights all over Southeast Asia at bargain prices. Super cheap flights (try $50-60 RT) to all destinations within the Philippines, like all the nice resort areas - Cebu, Boracay, Palawan etc.
Our dollar goes even farther here than in Manila, much farther!
