Originally, I had scheduled a crafty post for today (per my brand new blogging schedule)... but I'm in the Philippines! So far, I have only had about a day in Manila. It consisted of sleeping, food, and a short walk around town before the entire city practically shut down when the Pope arrived. However, I have a few pictures to share with you already!
To keep up with all of my adventures, check my Instagram feeds at both @vintagezest for the sights and @theepisodiceater for the food!
Here is Day Zero (at the airport) & One of the journey so far to whet your appetite...
- Left from LAX, where I actually did a little celeb spotting! I did get pictures, but no... I'm not about to name drop. :)
- Uploading some old pictures on to my computer because no, I couldn't quite cut the cord...
- On the plane with three travel essentials: hydration, nuts, and Chris Pratt!
Ate a ton on the plane. Seriously, I'm surprised at how pretty this plane food was! Also, this is what one person was given to eat, minus a couple of courses that you can see on @theepisodiceater. Granted, this was a long flight, but really? Plus, I could order from the snack menu whenever I wanted. It was bananas! Irony: I skipped the banana during breakfast.
After touching down in the Philippines, we got acclimated to the hot weather, the time difference, and the money! Fun fact, the two 500 peso bills below are both real currency, but they change the money so often here that you'll often see different bills with the same denomination.
On a side note, aren't the bills pretty? I just had to share on @vintagezest because I thought so. :)
