Well 17 days after arrival and and about 13 house lookings later we have finaly found "the one" and I am typing this in the Diplomat Hotel as I wait for the taxi to arrive and magicaly transport me to phase two of living in the Phils I will post some pics when I have settled and hopefully the dsl will allow me more than intermittant acess to the net.
It was Alans birthday yesterday and we were invited on Sat to his "Film Premier" at Bigfoot Mactan and quite a do it was parking the Limo was complicated by the carabou taking exception to there traditional grazing being taken over by the plethora of stretch trikes and I would imagine the red carpet is still being clean from their enthusiastic contributions. Imagine my suprise when we were having a dual celebratory dinner at the excellent "Chink Palace" in Salinas road when a phone call brought the well deserved news that the film had won first prize,
The security did a wonderful job in not allowing the Parapattzi to intrude, (they hadnt realised who I had arrived with till then)and they had to content themselves interveiwing some pacific crabs who claimed to be related.
So all in all its been a momentous 48 hours. whatever next ?
to be continued...................
