Stay clear of the "buy-me-drink" bars. They're Philippino hookers, some possibly used to be men. and to buy them a drink its at least $20. And thats just for them to sit and talk to you. Anything else... you will pay extra. and they are very annoying. Mama-san doesnt like when you try to haggle the price down. But go to Center Stage. its a great club and the women love Americans

Prepare for great storms and diving. Here is the third best place on earth for scuba. Also, terrible for tropical storms and typhoons.
