2009 new year's day in Manila, long beach I. 6 days Miscellanies

January 1, 2009--6 January I brought my son went to Manila, Philippines with tours, long beach I. 6 days.

Travel arrangements through transportation, accommodation, other self-care Samsung. Before you leave, child his father gave us differently, said that the Philippines is a third world country, economic backwardness, poor diet is not used, the hot ... Between the lines, not worth a go.

Children his dad said that only accept US dollar, don't accept RMB.

I am now looking for-dollar. Poor family Fu Road, just in case, alternate with RMB. Before you leave checked dollars exchange rate Philippine peso is 44.5. Flew to Manila airport, discover Exchange Office of the premium is 1 dollar 45.5 pesos. Still later, found that the airport exchange rate is highest in the Manila hotel is a 1: 44, in the long beach I. is 1: 45. Also, some of the long beach I. Exchange Office also don't accept US dollars, euros. It appears that the impact of the financial crisis in the United States is huge. However, local tour guides from the Philippines. Simply exchange rate is 1 RMB 6 pesos. The difference is quite large. Guide to change money is a huge profits. Unfortunately, he met me in trouble. Didn't give him a chance. Tip no less to own expense also participated, took pictures, also want what? never end?

The children of his father said, Philippines weather hot, with summer wear.

I had a mind to give himself and his son brought a long dress trousers. When I am out of the Manila airport, and no heat waves rushing feeling. Suddenly remembered, also in January, when went to Sanya. Sanya weather is to wear long trousers, and rain clothes. Philippines and should also have similar in Sanya. Hugged took long dress trousers. My experience is that if you go to the Philippines in the month of January, with 1 set of long dress trousers, but be sure to bring a thin jacket, windshield rain. Later, in long beach I. have always been "cloud chail," and "Breeze", temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius. Sea fishing at sea, thanks to a jacket from the wind. Also, in the sea playing with wet clothes must be clean, that day can not wait to return home to wash again. Sea water makes the clothes are washed out. Washed clothes not hanging indoors. To be placed in outdoor blow dry. Because of the long beach I. near the sea, very wet, clothes hanging indoors is not dry. Time has a musty. We live on the first floor, there is a small outdoor patio, the clothes hanging on the balcony, let the wind a day.

Long Beach I. now only STATION 1 and STATION 3 second terminal.

STATION No 2 terminals. STATION 1, noisy, bustling compared, STATION 3 small, relatively quiet. Seaside fun projects mainly: banana boat, flying fish, parachute, motorboat, scuba diving, SAILING (see sunset sailing without power) … Locals will give you a look at a card has to play in the project and price. You can bargain, the more people playing, the cheaper the price. However, 1 month of seawater was very cold, Sun, clouds, waves and wind. Each comes to an end a project is frozen was fibrillation bucket, shaking their teeth. Here, a parachute, and when you're on your own hanging in the air, the following is the unfathomable Black Sea, the sea breeze blowing up layers of white spray, deeply feel the sea of a man's small and helpless. People in front of nature is so weak. There is also diving, I chose a Chinese coach explained. He said he is Ningbo. Chinese speak very well, but small books printed in Chinese is the traditional Chinese characters, presumably to Taiwan guests. Diving very tested my ears. Next to the sea, 2 m, my ears suddenly felt the same pain needle. At the time of reaction is about to return to the sea, no longer dives. Dive into the underwater 6 meters, the sea is my trembling, feeding the fish take hold of the bread. My son was very relaxing, carefree in sea water river, like a fish. Coach said that he first time diving in and doing a very good job. Dive with us is a person of Italy. He last diving lesson. His own latent, his coach just beside watching. He can speak a little English. So let me surprised. A question, he is working, living in Shanghai. I said that Shanghai is very good. He said that in the past, now in Beijing, Shanghai. This sentence made me want to for a long time.

Before you leave, child clown Let's go drink local mango juice, ice, very good to drink.

For the first time, met a little over 60 pesos a cup that is not good to drink, throw it out. Thought, dad said wrong! went back for his second of the cost! is a beverage shop, Haagen-Dazs, 80 pesos a Cup, a good drink. With the last drink. Cane chair next to the still can sit and drink slowly. Not to drink small stalls! nor clean! there is also a family fruit ice cream shop, you can taste and buy. Is English labels don't understand, can only be compared with the impression that the domestic eat points.

At the beach there are many restaurants, various flavors of the restaurant.

At the menu, regretted not good for learning English, the menu is in English. Had to choose to eat. You can shop, eat, or you can shop, eat dinner on the beach. However, large beach wind, we ate in the store. In addition, shop for rattan furniture is clearly better than the plastic tables and chairs on the beach.

Long Beach I. hotel swimming pool is open air, not large, shallow water, but water is disinfected water stifling smell.

Son a duck's swim very soul.

Before you leave, child his dad said, the shopping centre called SM Manila, great, but the door to security search.

Our tours also went to SM. But the door was not searched, just open the bag check. Shopping Centre's inside synthesis by price reduction, the cheaper than domestic. Son to pick up a pair of sunglasses, chose t-shirt. Pleased son learn yourself shopping!
