However, outside the hotel room there is nothing to do there - sightseeing, sex venues, etc. Given the horrendous Greater Manila traffic, isnt the nice area akin to a golden cage? I have a couple relatives who live in BGC and that's the same impression I got. One grew up in NYC and stated that BGC "reminded him of NYC" a lot. Quote
EricV Posted February 6 Posted February 6 BGC is the Nr1 area to live in Manila, with the most sought after condos, the best restaurants, cafes, bars, stores, spas, hair salons.... It has a pedestrian area at the center, small parks, wide streets & side walks, no street parking ... It's also the cleanest and most organized neighborhood... Makati is the former it-neighborhood, now eclipsed by BGC. It also has all the above, but with old street layout, narrow streets and narrow or non-existing sidewalks, less clean more traffic chaos, older buildings,... Both areas have plenty of educated, middle class (and of course upper class/wealthy) locals and expats. As @bkkmfj2648 has discovered and described in great detail in his Cebu post, your best bet to meet locals, paid or unpaid, is online - and in Manila, your best chances to meet are in BGC & Makati... There is no comparable gay scene to Thailand, with regards to gogo bars and sex clubs. There are a number of spas for men with wet areas/sauna with male masseurs, including in Makati, Infinity Spa is one of the chains... jamiebee 1 Quote
