Asia » Philippines » Manila October 12th 2011

So we spent two nights at Carlos place and then we headed for the beach. San Pedro a lovely resort with basic huts on the beach. When I say basic I mean, no flush toilets and not hot water. Believe it or not on the day we checked into the huts (Saturday) it was raining. We get our hut and it smells of damp and the floor was covered with ants that were looking for shelter from the rain. So ants everywhere and everything was wet or damp. SO anyway we said that we would give it one night at least. We didn’t sleep much at all. Sunday came and we started our diving course the weather changed to the better and we did an introductory dive at first and then started the real course. Peter ... read more

Asia » Philippines » Romblon » Romblon October 7th 2011

Arrived in Manila on Wednesday afternoon, took a cab to the hotel … It was an interesting experience. For you guys who know how much I like the rules you must follow when you are driving and how mad I get when people doesn’t follow them, well let me just say that I would not be able to drive a car in the Philippines because NO ONE is following any rule what so ever… On a road with two lanes there were four cars driving next to each other. Anyway I was sad to see how some people have to live here (even worse than Peckham). Anyway we arrived to our hotel after sitting in a traffic jam for 30 min. When we checked in they said that they were going to give us their suite ... read more

Asia » Hong Kong » Kowloon October 5th 2011

I am now sitting on the flight to Manila, Philippines. We have had two hectic days in Hong Kong. We arrived on Monday afternoon and went straight to the Hotel. After checking in we took a taxi down town and walked the Star walk and saw the Hong Kong skyline very impressive. And then we went for some dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant was we had a lovely vegetable curry. After dinner we were really tired and just went back to the hotel and went to bed. Tuesday, I woke up at 4am and couldn’t sleep so read for a bit and finally fell asleep around 6am. The alarm went off 7am. Up and out to see Hong Kong Island. We went on a guided tour that covered the Hong Kong Island so first we went ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » England » Greater London » Surrey Quays September 28th 2011

So back in London … It feels very strange to be back and not to work or do anything else useful e.g. apply for jobs. We arrived on Wednesday the 21st Sept and at least I have had something booked every day. On Friday Sharmini and I went to Bermondsey antique market they open at 4 or 5 am and close at 1pm. We came there when they had start packing up so I think we missed a fair bit but it was nice to look at some silver cutlery. I have now decided that I am going to learn more about silver and what the different silver marks or stamps stand for. Sharmin has also inspired me to do an upholstering course so in January we are going to be looking for courses, I am ... read more
