Part I by Polona Back at Friendly's After landing back in Manila, we arrived to a rainy capital. The plan was to take a taxi and go straight to the bus station on the other side of the city and get a night bus up north. Well, that was the plan, but you know how it goes with plans.

Rice Capades 2011 2012

After talking about it for ever and ever, we are finally shutting up (surely all of you will be glad to hear that), picking up our mahoooosive backpacks and going to check how much rice we can actually handle (and one of us hoping it might turn out to be a great way to diet as well . So y'all, we are on our way to South East Asia and we promise to keep amusing you with brief reports about the trip while you slave and sweat behind your desks - what else are friends for.

You got there before I did!
see.... you reached Batad, Banaue and Sagada even before I visited the place. Glad you enjoyed your time there. I can't imagine you doing the "topload" (riding on top of the jeepneys). And it's BALUT not Batuk. :)) Hope our paths cross again. who knows? Maybe you'd come back and meet those whale sharks after all. And eat the lumpia (egg and seaweed roll). Safe travels!

Balut
Hi, thanks for the 'spell check', I fixed it to 'Balut' :) Sorry that we didn't manage to see each other again, but please don't feel bad about it. When you do go up north, you really should check Batad, its is incredibly beautiful! Especially if you need some quite time :) Hope to see you again, either in Europe or in Asia. And yes, i do think i will come back to Philippines one day. Not just because of the whale sharks.

Greetings from Slovenia
Hey cousin, hey Jan. I love reading your blog and the fact that you're enjoying yourselves so much. I wish I'd seen Polona climbing down from the jeepney. Keep having fun and I'll come see you when I win the lottery :P
