World famous restaurants...some mall of asia...flying monkeys!!!

They have a skating ring in the Mall of Asia!! And all the girls skating need to be on a world stage. Not a single person in the rink was an amateur. There were probable a couple hundred people watching them too! We only were at that Mall for about an hour for a few essentials after watching Harry Potter, but we are going back next week for some intense shopping. Since we've been here I dont think weve actually bought anything from a mall...the things here are alot different clotheswise.

This scary guy is a Makak(not sure how to spell) and is chained up to the house next door to Grandma Ifurung's office! He really wants to escape! But he does pose for every single picture! Look at that grin!

This is that restaurant we ate at...Cant remember the name at the moment, but I do have a menu so Ill know later...anyways. Anthony Bourdain from the food network travelled to eat here...and it isnt even a restaurant. Actually it is a home! A husband and wife (mostly the husband, Claude) make traditional filipino food. They only serve 1 group of people per day and its an 8 course meal that takes about 4 hours to eat. Apparently they are really famous in the Philippines and are getting some fame all over the world! It was all delicious and the atmosphere is just awesome! Claude himself built their house out of scrap wood and stones that took him over 10 years to collect!

More of the house...

Claude, his wife, and Anthony Bourdain

Me and Claude

They have the largest collection of antique ladels

Claude is also an artist...he created these acrobats himself. Actually all around their house are circus pieces!

Sorry mom...as I type I am getting my hair fixed back to normal....along with Niki and her sister Jazmyn! haha all of us hated how light our hair looked...and the pictures below did not even show how light it was. Lets hope i come out looking halfway decent. This time were at the mall. I kinda miss the trannies! But these people are really nice too!

Oh yah! Were having a rain storm. Which is actually just drizzle, but none stop. Apparently the water systems arent as good here...SHOCKING...so some streets have flooded in Manilla, but Niki's cousins are all happy because they are dismissed from school until the rain stops! The only scary parts of the rain are the frogs that got into our house!!! And the bamboo trees make the wind really loud! haha

Ok well ive gotta get my hair rinsed! But I love you all!!!

Happy Pictures!!

HI! Since my last post was clearly a downer here are some fun photos of all the things weve been upto and where were staying! I am having a really good time here, but i miss being home already!

We got our hair colored by really sweet transvestites, however, we aren't the biggest fans and will be getting our colors put back to normal IMMEDIATELY!!

We ate Spanish food at this famous restaurant called Alba and ate baby suckling pig.

This little piggy went in our bellies! Ain't he cute oink oink!!!

We ate camarillo...aka Cricket rice bugs...and we didnt stop at just one. They were actually pretty tasty considering they still had legs and antennas!

The beautiful house where we are staying...not at all like the pictures from my last post!!
Thank God for that!

Some Photos!
