The Mail Bag
The oldest feature in the stable. Readers wrote in, I answered, and the answers were usually more use than the rest of the newsletter put together. It’s running again — same postbag, better spelling.

Mail Bag posts
The Mail Bag · Mick, Glasgow
'Is Angeles worth visiting in August or September?'
“Harry — the only time I can get off work is late August into September. Everyone online says that's the middle of the rainy season. Is it a washout, or is it still worth going?”

'My mate doesn't drink and isn't into bars — what else is there?'
“Harry — my best mate's coming with me for a week. He's a great bloke but he doesn't drink and go-go bars aren't really his thing. Is he going to be bored out of his skull, or is there actually stuff to do in Angeles that isn't Walking Street?”

'She asked me for money — is this normal?'
“Harry — I've been chatting for three weeks with a girl from Angeles I met online. She's sweet, we video call, and now her mother's in hospital and she's asked me to send money. I want to help but my gut's twitching. Is this normal over there?”

'Should I stay on Fields Avenue or at a Clark resort?'
“Harry — the Clark resorts look far nicer than the Fields Avenue hotels for not much more money. Big pools, gyms, casinos. But everyone says stay near Walking Street. Which is it?”

The Mail Bag · Dave, Manchester
'I land at Clark at 6pm Friday — what do I do the first night?'
“Harry, first trip. I land at Clark at 6pm on a Friday and fly out Monday, so three nights. What should I actually do on the first night so I don't waste it or blow the whole budget?”

'I'm 63 — am I too old for Angeles?'
“Harry — I'm 63, divorced two years, never been to Asia. Mates keep telling me to go to Angeles City but I'm worried I'll be the old bloke in the corner everyone feels sorry for. Am I too old for this?”
