Halloween in the Philippines

I was Shokoy (merman) for halloween. The costume was made by the agents at the call center as part of the haunted house contest at work. How cool huh!?

Pinas.

Wow! Here's a picture of a pineapple plantation. I've never seen anything like this. I really enjoyed the beautiful landscape of rolling hills on the way up the hill. I had to stop and take a picture. My tour guide said"Don't try to pick the pineapples it's private land!" So I bought a fresh one at the market for 20 pesos (about 50 cents.)

Tagaytay Pineapple Plantation.



Cycle rickshaw aka Pedicab.

The pedicab "poor man's taxi," is a very popular form of transportation here in the Philippines. This one holds 7!


Fun in the Philippines!

This is how we have fun. LOL.

25th Year Anniversary!

The hotel had a 25th Anniversary party last week, here is a picture of me and the people that have been taking care of me for the last 6 weeks.


Dampa - Seaside Market and Restaurants

This is a seaside market, Dampa style! Here you can pick your seafood, order by the kilo and take to your favorite restaurant where they cook your seafood to perfection! I paid 550 pesos, around $11 dollars and got to try crab, prawn, mussles, pork belly (ribs) and more! Yum!
