Trip To The Philippines

Destination: CEBU, PHILIPPINES.
Plane: CEBU PACIFIC
26 Nov- 30 N0v

I arrived at Cebu in the middle of the night. We took a cab to Microtel, our hotel for the first two days. The hotel Microtel was owned by the president of Cebu. I thought it was owned by Bill Gates. The swimming pool in Microtel was full of salt water as the water in the pool was from the beach! Next to Microtel was a beach. I found quite a number of shells. But the sand in the beach was not smooth; it was rough , and rocks could be found on the surface of the sand. So we went back to the salt swimming pool. For dinner, WM ordered spicy tom yam soup and fish and veg. The next day, we took a gypny ( or something else like that. ) Anyway, this strange vehicle is like a truck used to transport workers in Singapore, but in Cebu, they use this vehicle to transport tourists and citizens to different destinations. ( It's kind of a taxi, but the only different thing is that you have strangers taking a ride with you.)

We checked out the next day and took a taxi to the Crown Regency, our second hotel we were staying in. To get to our hotel room in the Crown Regency, we had to take different lifts, from one tower to another. ( There were 38 floors! ) But before we reached the hotel, we had lunch at the Lighthouse Restaurant, a restaurant that sells seafood. ( The shells of the clams were enormous!) I also visited a guitar factory. I bought a miniature guitar as a souvenir.
Next, our taxi driver took us to the 7D (TM) Mango Factory. I hate mangoes. Anyway, after visiting the mango factory, we went back to our hotel. The good thing about Crown Regency was that there was a McDonald's next to the hotel. I drank a Starbucks Ice Blended Drink. Starbucks was also next to the hotel.

The next day,( also our last day in Cebu), we went to Jollibee, Philippine's answer to McDonald's, for lunch. I never tasted such rubber- like pasta before. Bleccchhh!! We also went to SM City, a shopping mall in Cebu, to shop. Then after a long, boring ride .......

To cut the long story short, we arrived in the airport of Cebu. I had Chicken MSG Flavoured Cup Noodles With Glucose for dinner in the 'plane. When we reached Changi Airport, WM had to rush to another terminal to take a plane to Europe for a conference. The rest of us ( excluding WM ), took a taxi back home.
