Manila!

I'm back...with chickenpox... drat. I have a new job, but obviously I'm off work for a couple of weeks until I'm all healed.

I got to spend time with my mom which was great...I miss her terribly already. As all people going back home do, I went to see our family doctor and dentist. Obviously nothing very exciting about that. Michael had loads of fun too. Everything was new for him and he kept on taking pictures of things that I take for granted. Growing up in Manila you never think that what you see everyday is actually something new for someone else. I saw everything for the first time thanks to Mike. Here's some of the pictures he took...

A palm tree...


Jeepney (ok this one was a giveaway)


Armed guards (specifically because they had sawed off shotguns)
