We are coming up to the end of our three week trip to the Philippines, and it's hard to believe all that we've achieved. The second week of our training went well, and the students all enjoyed the course. We were treated to a Boodle fight ... Read more >

Manila

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 | By copperowl | Views [269]

We woke early-ish as we had (finally) booked the tour of Manila. So off the ship and onto Philippine soil. The tour took us to the “Old Spanish Quarter” where we saw the place where Rizal was kept and executed, and there was a collection ... Read more >

SIARGAOS RURALE FARVANN

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 | By bota | Views [524]

Side om side skuer vi bekymringsløst utover havhorisonten. Vi er definitivt nord for Mikronesia, og blir enige om at det fra vår horisont og utover er fint lite før Hawaii – det er i all sin enkelhet en ganske kompleks tanke. Medvandrer Constantin ... Read more >

I bølgetrav

Det sparkes forsiktig på bambusdøra mi. -Wake up, lazybones, hviskes det utenfor. Det er Nettie. Klokka er 06.20. Vi skal surfe. Hun har allerede vært oppe en snau time for å sjekke vind, bølger, strøm etcetera, og er sikker i sin sak på at det er helt ... Read more >

Jeg begynner å kjenne den nå. "The Phillipino Routine" som Johnny kaller den. Hvor er jeg fra? Hva er navnet mitt? Hva gjør jeg akkurat her? Er jeg gift? Hvorfor ikke? Hvorfor reiser jeg alene? Hvorfor liker jeg å reise alene? Liker jeg ikke ... Read more >

One week down

As some of you may know, before we left the UK way back in November Lydia had arranged with a friend of the family that we would help out with some teaching in Manila. Well, after 6 months of preparation and much nail-biting we're here and the first ... Read more >

Throw me a coin

Ferja ligger til kai ved "fastlandsdelen" av Mindanao, og det er straks klart for avgang over til øya Camiguin. Jeg sitter på øverste dekk og har rigget meg til helt i akterenden der jeg har en hel benk for meg selv. Brått fyker en skikkelse ... Read more >

Manila downlights

Thu, 3 Apr 2008 | By bota | Views [766]

På vei inn fra flyplassen var jeg i et noe urettferdig humør. Det som skulle være en forholdsvis enkel etappe fra Bangkok, hadde plutselig blitt en uendelig lang dag grunnet forsinkelser etcetera. Jeg kjente derfor temperaturen stige betraktelig da jeg ... Read more >

Hi friends! From one of the three places in the world (next to Antarctica and some place in the Amazon) where worldwide servicing FedEx and UPS do not deliver, I'm writing you this blog entry. Yes, El Nido is a pretty remote place, although still quite ... Read more >
