Yeah those fools deserve to be deceived by the girls they may have fallen in love with and just to rub it in they deserve to have some barang getting involved just for giggles .All those bargirls are lucky to have you around for support.Jamie_Lambo wrote: haha in Sihanoukville girls often give me their phones to message their boyfriends as they dont speak English well lol

I met up with a guy I knew years ago in another country who recently passed away in Cambodia. After a few drinks at Shanghai Bar, we stumbled over to the Riverside area hostess bars. As we were about to enter one, I heard him say "oh no" as a girl ran out and slapped him in the face and in perfect English said, you have a baby with me and give me nothing. Some how this dude who got me to pay for all his drinks that night pacified this dumb hostess within seconds. Off we went as she walked away shaking her head. It was fucked up... I asked him if that was true and he said yes, but he has another kid to take care and so and so on... It felt surreal and really wrong. It got me wondering how many of these girls are having babies with random monger dudes? What kind of life are these kids going to have? Occupational hazard? After the 10th beer...
Numbnuts all grown up

I wonder this too, but also wonder about the kids with Khmer fathers that have left the mother penniless and working in bars. How do these kids fair in their teen years in comparison to those living with mum and dad? The only case I'm familiar with is one teenage girl who is now sleeping around, drinking and starting to do drugs. I think she's on a one way street to doing what her mother did.

A Cambodian woman, who is in no way connected to the bar scene, once explained to me how much smarter the Vietnamese women (whores) were than the Khmer. Growing up in the Wat Phnom area, she knew both, and saw how they operated. She explained to me that the Vietnamese were much better at saving their money, and eventually buying their own house, etc. She also said that the Vietnamese would try to get knocked up by a foreigner, so that their child would be mixed and more attractive. They wanted to have a girl, so that they could then raise the attractive girl and enter her into the family business, and make a lot more money from her. Vicious cycle indeed.Nasty Canasta wrote:I wonder this too, but also wonder about the kids with Khmer fathers that have left the mother penniless and working in bars.

The article on Angeles isn't totally false or distorted, but there are a couple of factual errors and the general tone is dubious.
AC wasn't named as the city of angels; that's LA. It was named after its Spanish founder, Don Angel de Panteleon. The Clark Airbase wasn't closed because of the Pinatubo eruption. Together with the Subic Bay Naval Base, they were closed in 1992 by order of the Philippine government.
The statement that the entire city exists off prostitution is nonsense. The city's official main industry is the production of high quality wicker furniture, found in some of the world's best hotels. 15,000 bar workers don't entirely support a city of 350,000.
As usual, they claim that the industry caters to foreigners. The foreign bars are almost entirely confined to the suburb of Balibago and have about 5,000 workers. Workers in Filipino bars in the rest of the city outnumber them 2 to 1. About 2,000 Filipino sex tourists visit Angeles daily, mostly from Manila. Foreign sex tourists peak at about 200 per day in the high season. Most of the customers in the Balibago bars are from the 20,000 odd expat population, of whom about 20 are women; mostly lesbians.
They commendably didn't describe it as a haven for child sex, which it isn't. I became aware it existed, but, like Western cities, it was heavily under cover. Unlike Cambodia, I was never offered child sex. All bar workers, including waitresses,cashiers and DJs must be licensed and carry the licence at all times while working. To obtain a licence, they must produce originals of their birth and baptism certificates, proving they are 18. Some mamasans fake the evidence, but cases of this are relatively rare and the girls in question are almost always 16 or 17. I knew unscrupulous bar owners who ended up behind bars for trying that stunt-the bar industry is heavily regulated and policed.
The issue of abandoned mestizo kids is a very grey area. There is a long tradition of these kids, dating back a century when a US cavalry base was established there. Certainly in that region, kids with white fathers are regarded as a sign of good fortune, though kids with black fathers are despised and often abandoned. When I was there, very few bar girls used condoms or other contraception, as it was against Catholic teachings. Many became pregnant without knowing the father's identity or knowing the father would abandon their child. They didn't care, as long as the baby had white blood.
Don't take this as a defence of Angeles. The place is a shithole that attracts the scum of the planet; foreign and local. I lived there because the travel publishing company I worked for was based there and have no intention of ever returning.
Sorry to doubt the veracity of such a reliable source as The Daily Mail.
