Stayed with my dad and aunt last night at my aunt’s apartment near manila bay. Pretty sweet place aside from the lack of wifi… we went on a day trip to my aunt, uncle, and father’s condo in Pico de Loro, Batangas. It was about a 2.5 hr trip on the way there but holy shit, Filipino drivers are crazy. Even though I was sitting in the back, I was basically scared shitless. Im not exactly sure how to describe what was going through my head while riding in the truck… but it made me value the organization of the American highway system. The condo itself was pretty bare, they had been slowly been moving things into it. But the country club that was on the premises was nice. Multiple pools, a beach, and patio areas to chill at. Not to mention the food there was pretty good. Kare-kare is the best, no way any other food can beat it out.
On the way back home there was so much traffic heading back to manila, it probably took us four hours. But we stopped on the way back in tagaytay to buy some fruit, some random guy was walking up and down the sidewalk trying to sell knives. He had a pretty nice balisong but I didn’t want to bother bringing that with me everywhere. My dad on the other hand bought two knives from him. the packaging said they were made in the USA and I guess I found it a bit ironic that they were supposedly returning to the country they were produced in. ( they were probably made in china, and not made of stainless steel).
