Philippino styles
Hiya its good to back in blog world hehe, didnt see any internet cafes in Philippines so Im going to overload on photos this time.
We have just arrived back in Singapore after an eventful time in the Philippines.
We were extremely late for our flight to Manila, my fault wanted to catch a train so didnt have to walk as far with my ridiculously heavy bag hmmmm anyhow, sprinted through the airport, too late to checkin our bags so took them on as hand luggage.
Arrived in chaotic Manila, and got a taxi to our hostel which turned out to be in the whipwhops, no big deal a half hr taxi ride to town is like 50cents.
Decided to do a horse and cart ride round the park, they guy said 20 we figured he meant peso (about 50cents) he didnt say till the end he meant usd!!!
Despite the ripoff it was a good tour, he bought us beer, showed us around the shacks and shantys 'real Manila' we even saw kids shitting into the river, its used as a toilet - charming eh!
Also our meals got mixed up, I ordered sweet and sour fish, Jase sweet and sour pork. I ended up eating 3/4 a plate of meat!!! I was horrified as you can imagine.
We caught a boat to Sabang beach which was cool, met some great people, I learnt to dive which was exciting but quite scary. On the last day of my course Jase came along and we explored 3 shipwrecks at 20metres under, which was wicked.
Couldnt resist puting in the pics of Jase looking like wheres wally in Chinatown, Singapore, and me dressed in Jases clothes (to avoid the stares of Philippino children??) looking at giant fish.
Im off to read everyone elses blogs now, man its better than woman's day ha.
