The nightlife scene in the Philippines

I hardly ever go out at night. I am out and about doing the day. I do my best never to even drive at night.

Reason being I am a senior 65. The only hot chick I need at night is my 59 year old wife. I don't do night clubs or day clubs.

I do occasional go out in my fenced yard and light my teaket torches and watch the stars.

Where I live in province there are no night clubs anyway. And I sure am not driving to city to look for one. Just saying foreigners need to be really aware when they are out at night.

If it's your thing go for it! But be alert!

Back in the UK  as a single chap I'd be out most nights for a beer in the "Local", however when married we'd go out only occasionally.
Here in the Philippines I miss the activity of "Popping down the pub" for a couple of beers.                  The way of rubbing shoulders with other at the bar doesn't happen and there is no "hussle and bussle" of activity where its easy to make acquaintances. 

We have to settle for contacting another expat and arranging to meetup. As previously mentioned it is not so good for an expat to wander round at night.

There are "bar areas" in Manila and Angeles where its OK to wander for a beer but safer with company and of course there are plenty of our own "species" to make u feel at home.
