Winter vacationing in the Peens
Happy New Yeah!
Winter vacation: Manila, I heart Philippines
Weather: hot
Reaction: thumbs up
Key phrase: “Here in the Philippines…”
Key question: “How’s my driving?” (bloody awful, mate)
Pardon?: “Come again, sir?”
Breakfast treat: champorados (chocolate-flavoured glutinous rice porridge)
Breakfast untreat: champorados with sardines
Not far behind it: purple salted duck eggs
Culinary freak-out: soft-boiled chicken embryos (completely fowl, boom boom)
Street treachery: tricycles (lawnmower-engine motorbikes with loosely attached sidecars…makes Bankok’s tuktuks look like they could pass health and safety with flying colours)
Not far behind it: people hanging out of jeepneys (ex-U.S. military trucks painted with grafitti-esque Catholic imagery which serve as buses)
Beware: potholes
Shopping shocker: being greeted at the shopping mall by a guard with (yes) a machine gun
Shopping extravaganza: Mall of Asia (no surprises from the name, the biggest mall in Asia. Oooh, me achin’ bones)
Staple: mangoes with yer mangoes, including (of all sacrelidges) mango sushi
Unescapable: Jollibee burgers (no mango burgers, though)
Undiscernable spelling: the Philippines Vs Filipinos
ちょっとビックリ: マニラ空港の足マッサージの人は「マイドーオーキニ」と言いました!!!
Happy New Year: Me (to room service): ” How did you spend your New Year?” Room service (to me): “Igniting 3 bottles of butane.”
2008 off with a bang, then.
Alternatively if you don’t fancy the excitement of the peens then you could always try cabin rentals in idaho. Idaho vacations Offer you the great outdoors at a reasonable price and convience. If you’re ski mad then there is still a chance to get on the piste at jackson hole skiing resort which has fine slopes and snow.
