The TownhouseMy god,that takes me back a bit,the owner Bill once took me on a tour of manila,I cant remember what his car was now it was so long ago,he is a VERY interesting individual
I first went in 1991?I was based in Hong Kong,and Pinas was closer than LOS(Land of smiles AKA thighland)so I jumped on a flight to manila,I remember asking the Taxi driver at NAIA to take me to a decent hotel,he took me to a brothel in del pilar street he also gave me a quick single mans guide to tagalog but had lots of fun at my expense which almost got me beaten up several times I should have known what sort of trip it was going to be when I tried to book into the hotel and I was asked by reception how many hours I would stayMy room had mirrored ceilings I dropped my bags in,walked down the street and straight into "Rosies Diner"I truly thought it was somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat,Mayor Lim hadnt cracked down on Ermita at that time,it was quite an interesting place for a single guy
