December 2012






























"Promote Travel East?! What then, if I want to go west?" - Cybele

Boarded a plane to the Philippines almost immediately after my final exam. I slept for a good 9 out of 12ish hours on the plane. Blame mental and physical exhaustion.

We spent Christmas in Bohol and managed to go to all the major tourist attractions in under a day. The rest of our time there was spent in a resort. The food was great, especially at the Bohol Bee Farm. The place didn't actually have any bees. They all died, no joke. The food was still great, and I'm pretty sure I ate for three people.

It was a pretty relaxing trip, but I would say that 48 hours there is enough. Some bizarre typhoon warning was announced and my entire family and I got stranded for a extra two days (so much for relaxation - I was going to lose it). Torture. Cabin fever in a broader sense. I nearly yelled at the coast guard when he, along with the captain, asked all passengers on board to disembark, cancelling yet another trip back to Cebu on our second extra day there. I mean hello, look out your window, it was practically summer day! One more complaint - they ought to issue warnings more often than every 4 hours, for so many reasons. This literally ate up a huge chunk of my stay in the Philippines. Goodbye plans.





High school buds. Are we getting old or what?
