Overseas line of the 2006 Travel Philippines-Manila, long beach (end)

The first five days, from the long beach back to Manila:

On the morning of the day, used the hotel for the last time after breakfast, 100P/a dozen Mo's original road when we returned to the harbour port of long beach I., in simple ticket office 23P/person on the other side of the ticket, or the transition back to sit on our last card standing wave of minibuses, 150P/person, noon we are back to card making waves at the airport.

The aircraft was 3: 00 p.m., we advance to this cause is to see here are sold very cheap Jumbo crab, and who is not good to miss such a good opportunity. Crab sell 150P/kg, is crazy fresh, for the first time we bought 10 only 5 kg, handed over to a nearby hotel, boil processing fees according to the time worked like we only accept 200P 8 personal rulangsihu fighting over eaten 10 big crab, but not enough, and continue to buy 10, get a second time, the quality is poor or no holds barred are we destroyed, by the way, at some point in the hotel cuisine and beer in the Philippines, a premium crab feast eat our content.

Lessons learned when airport formalities and checks of cumbersome, access to the airport 45 minutes ahead of time, the door before the first closing will be security check ticket, passport and boarding pass to collar, there is no counter like Manila airport so crowded, and soon obtained your boarding pass, but the receptionist also prompts the backpack to shipping, do not take in hand, to security, check the more rigorous, Ms. cosmetics, a wiring supplies also have to check-in, we've been on a trip, bring some electrical appliances and cosmetics to counter check-in post-registration, alas, this is the reality of the Philippines.

Even more annoying is back for a second queue security, there are two whites accounted for one column per person, when I had finished in front of a security check, but left him for another is of another queue quickly plugged up, I told him, "you can't plug it came in." He was called up, Grandma 's, it seems that the quality of the Japanese, but also a much more insidious is the security of Penn sister just as I lay hands on the side that they are on the Pro smile just let him to jump the queue, it seems that the Philippines white Devils is also used to give preferential treatment to, remember we own a lot of people in China, could it not be sad, as Asia!

Little episode is also part of the experience of living through such details to survive in the global village of various people, etc., and will have a deeper experience.

Here at the airport of departure as our station as simple, but the aircraft very punctual majestically, today in the sky is clear, look down from the sky, a size is not an island framed in light green sea and the Islands constitutes the Philippines country. Suddenly discovered a Rainbow in the sky, more magic to see the wings of a circle appears next to the circle in the middle of the Rainbow are we are the shadow of the plane, which is actually the legendary Buddha, when my Emei is heard on Buddhism in Emei of looking down on the top of the cliff is able to see the Buddha, his shadow in a circular ring, so that there are believers consider themselves have become a Buddha, jump to jump off the cliff, and the cliff was named the famous sheshenya. Really did not expect, in Mt. Emei Sheshenya not Buddhism to appreciate to the phenomenon of Buddha, arrived in the Philippines was able to see such a rare sight, although the shadow is inside the Halo aircraft rather than me, but also to make their own feelings and the Buddha would be somebody, aircraft, flight of passengers is also!

Dozens of minutes of air time flights, returning to a peak of Manila domestic airport, and the taxi price 230P sent us speaking to already booked, the first night stay of CHERRY BLOSSOMS HOTEL, the last time we had before leaving is booked two each 1500P standard room, but said the front desk staff on arrival, today there is no standard room check-out, or back to the first night of the two-storey twin suite, also well, according to a price list price 2365P arranged for two to the US (buy one get one), HA HA, sometimes think the Philippines is really strange, because before the PLS basic unused, front desk staff can easily remember remember, nothing needs to be registered, it's time to say directly on it, then we are all worried about this way too casually, the results came back to see it really is free, but not simple! admire them.

Tonight we good easy, first to a casual dinner, walk to the streets of Manila's food culture is also very rich, inadvertently see a relatively large Cantonese seafood in the restaurant, we should try to support compatriots ' table there is a surname after week came to us to order the boss, he himself is the people of Hong Kong, with his ancestral hometown in Panyu, we joke South, barbarian, with the natives. Here's cuisine is authentic Cantonese cuisine, from the menu at prices not too expensive, so the way each quote a home cooked meal try, try really served for our liking. When an episode, we all like to eat a plate of fried beef noodle, plus a companion asked boss this dish next week noodle when he needed and how much money is answer, but my impression 200P look menu is just because this 100P, the restaurant's menu is bilingual, with a companion for future ordering convenience, we have the menu with a digital camera before you shoot down, results from the camera to find out the price of the menu, but the proprietor 100P parsing said to us in the brand on a component, so is he said 200P we did too, to fill your stomach is complete when paying the Bill, called the waiter call boss out we are going to ask him how to take the light rail to tomorrow we take the bus to the bus station, airport, Clark results here, and I think the quotation just Shahe powder, suppose the bosses fear we withhim evasive tactics of hell, well, another "ugly Chinese", a strange encounter feel sad!

With the map on the hand, sitting on several station light rail will turn over to find us on the first day of the arrival of the bus station (at that time we have mistaken the station name is VICTORY, the results of the second day of play to VICTORY station found drivers drive us to VICTORY station and not here, resulting in a lot of twists and turns, and now we don't know the station name is

What's the name, in the hope that the next bit to the tourists must pay attention), found to Clark airport ticket also very tense, and the station of conductor told we now buy to the airport ticket counter business hours, on enquiry our budget buy 11: 00 of the departure of not only set 11: 30 the remaining few location, good chords! the conductor told us with her handwritten orders will get directly at the door, she has made a record on your computer, not no location, and then the car to pay.

The final itinerary well, back to the accommodation, two arrangement tonight: one is a good taste of MALATE district of night life, the second is the handle on the remaining pesos.

MALATE district is indeed a paradise for travelers, bars, open-air along the Manila Bay Beach countless so much music, performers, men and women have different styles, we can see overall health entertainment, relaxing and charming, really good! consumption remaining pesos in a 24-hour convenience store is complete, because the product is too rich, here we found nothing better to buy a home, left to pick the right choice, and finally decided to each handle several thousand pesos on most bought back the production of chocolate in the Philippines were neighbourhood, his first bought so many chocolate that convenience store's clerk at us that several Chinese people laughing from time to time, because the chocolate on the shelves are we bought. Hehe.

Sixth day, Manila Chinatown and the return journey:

Our plan is to this day the morning 10: 00 departure from hotel, 11: 00 arrival to the airport by bus stations, and then ride the 16: 00 of the Tiger aircraft flight back to Macau.

Wake up in the morning, companions early missing, also in sleep does not dare to bother, I walked up the penis on the way to Chinatown.

Chinatown in MALATE district in the North, all the way to go about a half hour journey, or after the first two days of Independence Square, the capital city of Spain, and then a long bridge, you can see the features of the hamlet of China city, inside the shop signs are mostly Chinese, not too busy, some old, although some of these look like Chinese, Chinese Mall when I found are not read what I said, from Chinatown's seemingly have the traditional Chinese culture, but estimated that they have been isolated and let's take too long, maybe from a deeper perspective on the impact of the Philippines in China, resulting in Chinese descendants may have on the Chinese sense of belonging is not strong reasons, cursory take away a ring, or you may just see twice.

From Chinatown to the hotel I'm in light rail, as the Chinatown station is large, and the station name indicates that it is hard to understand, those results I not find North, queued and buy the tickets, I took the map ask row behind me who aunt bought which stop and buy a ticket on the bus in which direction, the Philippine's aunt is very kind and warm heart, all the way to carry out the necessary guidelines even took me to the exact location of waiting, and tell me the Manila light rail and train stops the door is different, and I find it hard to understand that she was afraid of me to get off at the wrong station, also especially in local language to me a bit to go with the direction of the local people remind me to get off in MALATE district, from this small things can make the person feel alien to the people of the Philippines is very friendly and helpful!

10 points, the companions in the hotel set on the return journey, two taxi drivers drive us to VICTORY station take the bus to catch the plane.

The results of our two cars before and after the arrival of human VICTORY station is not found we have set the station ticket, and then ask the station a few staff are there other station there are buses to the airport, the answer to the Clark we say are not only here to depart departure, but here also not directly to the airport, only to a town near the airport after you also need to change trains. This change brought us to engage in Mongolia, but last night we reserve a parking space orders is handwritten paper, does not give the station name, station of conductor she can't understand, Oh, sorry, we also give confused, and I in the hands of the map also shows the station is VICTORY station, the station's station name too, but we could not find the first day of arrival and the station last night booking!

See us as hot den Ant-like, it was to get enthusiastic middle-aged Filipinos live active shouted, he saw us our packages look like small package know that we are going to Clark airport, while he was sitting in the bus is passing through the towns near the airport, to tell us what we should just sit this car, but he does not know which other station departure to the airport and the station's staff told us the same helpless, we had to stop buying the bus ticket, 140P, than directly to the airport of departure of a lot cheaper (350P), so a toss, 11: 00 Hogan: multipoint, we sit on the bus departure, out of the station and probably a few hundred meters, I finally see our booking direct airport station is across the road opposite to that of VICTORY station diagonally opposite, you sure do have do not see what is the name of the station, perhaps we're not holding the handwritten orders instead, buy a ticket, the ticket should write the name of the station, but other Filipinos and taxi drivers are read? who knows, HA HA, can't sit it's a direct train (if it is paid for the ticket, it's not good, because we've run out of pesos, I do not know where to find it sat our now this bus, our experience is worth joining them this way and from the Philippines in the overall mix of reference, that here there is a lack of travel conditions, you also need to constantly improve, but fair to say, our travel conditions are better, just imagine this kind of thing could easily happen in our country, as a foreigner, do not understand Chinese, lack of warm heart, really appear when this condition we should be more difficult to deal with).

Along the way, my wife and guide us in the Philippines has a lot of talking to people, know that this time he was sitting on the bus with his little girl home, he worked in credit card companies in the Philippines, the work in Taiwan a few years, also visited Hong Kong, mainland China, not only know

Shanghai and Nanning, he and other Filipinos as prolific, gave birth to three children, he also told to sit in the back of the cute daughter up and greet us, simple exchanges, at the same time, the Filipinos also to our understanding of the US and China, expressed the wish to have the opportunity to walk in and understanding of China. Unconsciously, probably 2 and a half hours in the car on station, here is the Clark city near the airport, the enthusiastic Filipinos also dedicated a car to take us to find the locals as we lead the way, transfer rental jeeps to the airport. And then he went back to the car bus continued his return trip.

Locals to 800P price as we find a jeep, 20 minutes to go through twists and finally reached the airport, the airport door and bought some simple dry food-filled stomach, then enter the lobby successfully for a check-in, buy a departure tax is not found when we expected, but pay 300P 350P, all knockouts trouser pockets barely raised enough, enough reason just sit on the wrong and the savings and wanted to come back with some pesos to mark the occasion of the part, anyway, the time of the Philippine tour of small problems from time to time we add a lot of seasoning agent, deepened the journey of memory.

Cheap Tiger aerial rare aircraft take off on time, on time in Macau airport landing, snapped, today is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival-rush home and young reunion Ah, finally in full moon sky night before another overseas!
