Barrio Barretto, Subic Bay Philippines Evening Walk

Here's a few links for my favorite credit cards. I try to check the links often, but let me know if there is a problem. If they change the offer on the card, I may need to update the link. Full disclosure, I get a few airline miles for referring a new customer. You should get the same public offer at no additional cost. Thank you very much.

Thanks for taking me back Shipmate. Used to hang out at the Riverside Bar near there. Way cooler than Magsaysay.

[@EagerExpat]

Cool man, thanks for watching. Good to see the old base. We had some great times in the PI. We worked hard and partied hard too.

[@bigbobw9253]

In the Navy thru the 70"s and did 2 WestPac cruises and home ported in Japan..visited the Philippines many times. A special place i my heart for the people I met.

[@EagerExpat]

That's great. Thanks for watching. I'm living in Thailand today. I'm sure being stationed in Japan, you may have visited Pattaya or Phuket. I have Patraya videos and Phuket soon.

[@MichaelMitchell-ks5it]

I was on ship called orient express. Uss white plains afs4
Japan was my homeport.we went all over orient being mars class supply ship

[@MichaelMitchell-ks5it]

My favorite city was freemantle western Australia
We docked there 10.nights.for rest and liberty

[@EagerExpat]

@MichaelMitchell-ks5it That's great. I was there myself. During the America's Cup in the 80s. My ship pulled in

[@bradh9800]

Olongapo was fun for a short night, but the Barrio was the place to be when you had the time.

[@EagerExpat]

Thanks for watching. I have a PI Playlist. Barrio, the old base, Angeles and Manila

[@invader440]

Barrio was my hangout from 81 - 84 whenever my ship would pull in to Subic. Had a gal from a bar called the Buzzard that I would hook up with that took good care of me.

[@EagerExpat]

A lot of people still love that area. I get it, I'm a beach guy. Thanks for watching

[@terrencewdonovan]

Man its a bit sad to see how so much has changed since I used to frequent Barrio Barretto 30 yrs or so ago.....but it's nice that there appears to be modernization. D'Riders was our main stop out there when in port I'm sure it's long gone.....back then I don't remember many if any streetlights, but lots of little fires up and down the dirt road and music playing from the bars, the smell of meat cooking and of course all the cuties......little slice of paradise from 86 to 90.....thanks for the update!

[@EagerExpat]

Yes, everything has changed in 30 years. Not just in the PI. San Diego has really changed. Thanks for watching.

[@dougseskey5925]

Was there in 81’ and 84 off the kitty hawk Cv-63

[@EagerExpat]

Nice. I was there with Kitty Hawk in 84. Back with the USS Iowa in 1988

[@MichaelMitchell-ks5it]

Looks like nice small hotels now that was not there before in 80s

[@EagerExpat]

Lots of hotels

[@wayneheidler8832]

Caught your Olongapo and Barrio video. Thanks for bring back the memories. It sure has changed. I was off the Midway back in 84-87. The Barrio was just a dirt road and I had a run in with the cops one time LOL. But I would go further out. There was one place past the Barrio and I cannot remember the name. But it was peaceful. Loved my time there.

[@EagerExpat]

Yes, this was just a fast look around. I live in Bangkok. Go on over and take a look. You only live once. I landed on the Midway in 1985 as a passenger on an CH-48 a few times. Good times

[@fittekowner]

I hope you feel better soon Joe. Semper Fi

[@EagerExpat]

I feel fine. It was just a cold. Thanks for witching

[@hectorcarranza5870]

Man?! appreciate the walk around. Had a girl friend here,1982. Deployed back to Camp Schwab, Okinawa. Thanks! USMC

[@EagerExpat]

Thank you very much. It was great to see the old area

[@justsayingforafriend7010]

The Barrio was outside of Olongapo and had dirt streets in the 80s.... Not a lot of bars but the place was fun and cheap....

[@EagerExpat]

Ya I remember. I was there in 1985 to 1988. Good times

[@gregpraetz5342]

I lived in Santa Monica subdivision there in Barrio Barretto for several years during the 90s and early 2000s. I really miss that place. Thanks for sharing. I live in southern Philippines now but plan to visit there soon.

[@EagerExpat]

Thanks for watching. I was going up that way to surf, but I ended up going to Angeles City. Today I live in Bangkok

[@eddier9455]

That was useful to watch, made a note of two eating places I want to try out when I get the chance 😀

[@EagerExpat]

Glad to hear it. Have a great trip

[@charleneforrest9522]

Oh my, NOTHING like Subic Bay looked like many yeas ago (1960-1962} when I lived there as a military dependent, age 16-17.

[@EagerExpat]

It's really changed. It was good to see the old area

[@asmxh]

I use to run in the Barrio back in ‘85. Always went there instead of Olongapo & Subic. It’s amazing the change. Had a lot of good times. We use to frequent the Flame On hotel. I’m sure that’s gone by now:(

[@EagerExpat]

Ya,, lots of changes. To be fair, San Diego doesn't look the same either. Or Bangkok, where I live today

[@allenvideos]

Love your channel Joe!

[@EagerExpat]

Thanks for watching Allen. More to come

[@rickman2267]

Great vid mate! Cheers, Oz.

[@EagerExpat]

Thanks for watching. Just came back from Sydney and Melbourne. I love Australia, but Thailand is great

[@RoxanZafra-fl3ib]

Nice video

[@EagerExpat]

Thank you very much

[@RoxanZafra-fl3ib]

You're welcome

[@mikewood4242]

I wanted to return in June but flights now are crazy,$2500 from San Fran

[@EagerExpat]

That stinks. Did you try this trick. Check SFO nonstop to Hong Kong. Then book a $200 Air Asia rt to Bangkok. When you add that flight from Tokyo, Hong Kong or Manila often times the price doubles. I just flew round-trip to Manila for $200. Maybe Sfo to Manila is on sale

[@EagerExpat]

I just took a 5 minute look on google flights. Long flight in coach, but SFO to Singapore is 16.5 hours. $1454 on United 6/22 returning 6/29. Air Asia is $132 roundtrip to Bangkok. $1586 total. I know that's only a week, but play around on Google Flights. Or you can fly the other way SFO to Germany to BKK. May 31 to June 15. $1370 on Lufthansa. Best of luck

[@EagerExpat]

Oh shoot, you meant the Philippines. Sorry about that

[@mikewood4242]

@@EagerExpat My work wont allow any leave till November so got a flight then for $800 return January

[@EagerExpat]

@@mikewood4242 Perfect. That will be here in no time. Take a side trip to Bangkok. Cebu Pacific just started a non stop from Clark to Bangkok. If you get it early it's cheap. I think it's 3 hours. Or just enjoy the Philippines

[@stephenstaat63]

When I was their last in 1990 it was not like this 1 USD = 200, pesos

[@EagerExpat]

Those were the days. Thanks for watching

[@thedailylifeofalonelyman6870]

Oh ..The Midnight Rambler Already closed?...maan...

[@EagerExpat]

Is it gone? I had only been to Barretto a few times in the 80s. We kept to Magsaysay

[@TheGuyMullins]

The BAR GIRLS!!! Where are THE BAR GIRLS???

[@EagerExpat]

I like to get paid by TH-cam. That's an instant strike. You'll have to make the trip

[@user-ei2tl7nv9h]

Pls visit @ Greenwich sm olongapo ndowntown

If I get back to the area, I will. Thanks for watching
