Luisa had sent me her phone number to have a micro-CGTG after getting settled in.

There are some tasks that need to be completed at the US embassy tomorrow and then afterwards we plan on having some Chinese food. Luisa says that the Chinese places are the safest.

After lunch I'm hoping to take some photos of some places of interest in Luisa's area. There are some that I've been to before and some that she suggested, one of them being the POW museum.

With a little luck we can all have a good photo taken together to post here.

This was lunch Monday. It's the "A" meal at Greenwich, a fast food/bakery place.

The pizza there is very good although for this ocassion just the light meal was plenty.

The cost? Just over $1! Nearly perfect.

The pizza looking items is pizza bread with pineapple and some unidentifiable meat slices. The spaghetti was served with a meat sauce and mushrooms.

As my waistline has increased over the last months it seems like the pinoy sized meals will be the norm while I'm here.

This is me and Luisa at her aunt's home.

Another micro-CGTG compete. Second one in less than a week.

Dude, you're like a virus! A really big one...

Hey Slang! Where is the chicken head? You can NOT miss posting that hilarious shot. :eyebrow: It was a fun day that we had. I hope we can do it again before you leave. I'll stock up on the ice cream! Next time, we will plan it better so that we can head to other places that you might find interesting ;) .

Everybody pelase pardon how I look. I was not expecting to have my picture taken on such short notice. Man I have such large teeth :p

Griff, I felt like a Lilliputian standing next to him. I was thinking he could pound me in like a nail anytime :thepain: (Joke!)

You look darling, Luisa!

Now, what's with the chicken head? :worried:

Slang ordered steamed chicken and ham for lunch. Took them a full hour to cook the thing. My aunt joked that the chicken was still avoiding the hatchet man in the kitchen which was why it took so long to get the food ready. Slang wondered if he would see any live chickens in the kitchen.:p It was quite fresh and juicy when it was finally served.

When it was finally served, we all dug in and then lo and behold! I spotted a chicken head on the plate.It was part of the presentation of the dish. Slang took some really good shots of the posed chicken head. it was hilarious! :D

Wow, I love chicken but seeing its head laying there might be a bit much. But, my family would launch into a never ending barage of chicken-head related jokes!

You have got to see the pictures to believe the amazing poses a chicken head is capable of doing in the hands of Slang :)

lol...must see!

Chicken head.

We all ate (and I drank beers ) at the Wan Tsi tea house in Binondo. The Chinese section.

The chicken was fantastic as it was so fresh.

No Zippy, I didnt eat the head. :rolleyes:

This is the Intramuros area, one of the oldest in the city.

Mrs slang was standing in line for some errands which left me some time to wander around aimlessly taking pictures.

This is Felipe. Some one thought so much of him that they made a statue of him with his globe. :)

More Felipe

You may be able to read the lettering on the arch but it reads "Filipino Chinese friendship arch"

One might expect a statue of two people having a beer or the like but this is it, the friendship arch.

It's interesting but doesnt bring friendship to mind.

Check out the nitro bottle on the tricked out bike there. :D
