I spent a wonderful winter in the Philippines with my family. Well it was wonderful to an extent.. Our 9 hour flight landed us in the congested city of Manila. A run-down van took us to our family friend’s apartment (who kindly let us stay at their place till we left to the province). The temporary home was definitely one to remember. Our family friend had not stayed in the home yet, so hot water and extra blankets were unavailable. Nevertheless, the following three days was fun!
Our view was amazing! The city of Manila and the golf course was beautiful. Each morning there would be a herd of golfers traveling in their carts with their delicate clubs. Their outfits looked as if they were handpicked from the movies!
My mother’s close friend who lives in the building invited us to a small Christmas party. We happily attended, what else were we supposed to do as a jetlagged family in a house without cable? The dinner had two guests, local opera singers! They were quite young. After what almost seemed as a never ending performance they finished, and the staff went on stage to sing some carols.
haha priceless
