Im back from philippines... shiok... take a break from work... but go philippines also for work... but can relax a few days... hmmm... its a good trip, learn alot, met my customers and secure some orders... :) hehe... cheers...

Travelling with philippines Airline...

Reached Philippines around 8 plus as it only took 3hr 20mins fr SG to Manila... Shock to see their airport was so small, un-organise, "lock kok"..... disappointed... took a cab and when back straight to hotel....

Here my hotel lobby... hmmm.. their security was so strict, you have to go in through the metal detector and baggage check and their was even a dog to smell you... haha... Called New World Ren Hotel... Under the company of Marriot...

Is a USD 105 per night wor...

my hotel room... staying alone...

What a Bed!!! with 5 pillows!!! how to use!!! whahaha

View of Manila Makati from my hotel room... 21 storey... Nice... They have early sunrise and early sunset compare to SG... Thought i was late on the first day! whahha... 6am and the sky is bright! 6pm and they r dark... :P

When shopping on the last day... had around 3hr before checking out of hotel and when to airport... to my surprise they have GAS at manila... bought a polo t... damn expensive, but i love it... who cares! whahaha... :P when for a drink at starbucks and head back to hotel...

Travel on a ecomony class (they call it the fiesta class) when going to philippine.... But travel back on a business class (they call it the mabuhay class)... shiok... all the ecomony class is full and got a auto upgrade... Wooot!

Onboard the business class back to SG... view from my window seat...

Sum it all, i had a good trip... Nice experience, meeting peoples, learning their way of working... a few things dont like about philippines-

1) Very bad Traffic Jam, and i mean it!!

2) no chilli sauce in Mac!! and a few fastfood...

3) bad weather...

Manila (makati area) is not that dangerous... everywhere there is security checking and patrolling... Ciaoz...

>to Kat thanks for accompanying me shopping during my last day and the dried mangoes! :)
