Makati City, Philippines - Page 64

slang · 03-15-2008, 06:46 PM

I'm officially back from my big adventure. Thanks for everyone's contributions and comments to this thread. It's been fun being able to show and tell all those cool things that I've seen in the Philippines.

There are some more involved projects in the works with the Philippines and going back there again.

As much as I like this place there just isn't the time for me to hang out here nowdays.

If by some small chance you need info or opinion about Luzon or related topics contact me through my yahoo e-mail. I'll do what I can to help.

If anyone else is taking an extended trip or adventure I'd sure like to see your pics too. Especially from Pakistan or Aghanistan.

Later.

Your wife will be glad to hear that.

Cool. Keep in touch.

I think they were just lanterns. Really neat looking ones.

Slang, take care buddy...I've enjoyed the pics and discussions. Stop back in sometime.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-19-2008, 12:01 AM

Yes they are, very cool. Thank you.

So ... My first three days or so lurking here in the Cellar have essentially been looking through this thread.

The first picture in post #941 is -gorgeous-.

The cats and kitten are adorable ... And I love how kids are kids and will walk, talk, eat, act, and think like kids no matter where they're from or whate language they speak.

This has been a great thread to peruse, Slang. Thanks for it!

Thanks Shaeling. There are more than a few others that have made it interesting. Thanks go out to UT as well for the server space.

Do you know any pinoys out there in Cali?

Not personally, or if I do, I'm not aware of it. I'm in a thoroughly grandparent-infested suburb of the capital.

My, how I dream of the dirty air and the crowded streets lately.

There is a new adventure in the making although it's still several months away. This time my project will require more than 6 months and even more props and participants.

More research, more books, reference info, more contacts, more computers, a more complete schedule, more interaction, more immsersion, more diplomacy, more luck.

Maybe a bit of elephant riding as well.

Not in the Phils but a sidetrip.

I'm getting restless at the corporate site.

I want to drink a 60 cent beer again, eat pandesol and eggs in the morning and wander around the masses being a priviledged minority.

I'm longing for that feeling of freedom of escaping endless laws, regulations and company protocols.

And there is also the weather. The cooler that it becomes here the more I'd like to skee-daddle.

Well hello there -long time no see! Nice of you to check in. Sit down grab a cyber beer - they're FREE.

slang · 09-09-2008, 04:51 AM

Thanks CM.

It's nice to be back but there's no time for beers yet. It's still time for meetings and corporate-speak and rules and time targets and acting like the normal guy that I'm not.

Soon enough that will change though. Then while I'll not be completely free I will be a great deal free-er than now.

Then the adventure will begin again. And there will be more photos.

slang · 12-03-2008, 10:40 AM

I'm back in Makati for a few weeks for a warmup to the next big adventure.

There should be some photos to post soon.

Thank you Bruce. That's a very useful gift.

Oh! Where did we store the Imodium!

slang · 12-04-2008, 04:23 AM

Just landed in Hong Kong this morning.

It's much cooler and cleaner here than in Manila.

Radar · 12-08-2008, 01:02 AM

Nice photos slang. I'll have to post some from Vietnam. Yours remind me a lot of Vietnam.

slang · 12-11-2008, 05:38 AM

That would be great Radar. I'd be genuinely interested in not just your photos but also your impressions of how things work there and how you were treated.
