That's all for now.

We will soon be going to the provinces to meet with an architect. This is someone that I've been in contact with via e-mail but have not yet met.

Our visit will include brainstorming about some techincal details that we'd like to have in our house and more details about "how things work" when building out in the rural areas.

To be sure, there will be more photos.

There was an explosion at the Glorietta Mall today at approx 1:30 pm local time. That mall is just a few miles from here and we do go there regularly.

In the big scheme of things it was a very minor event although it's been playing in the news here for hours and relatives from all over the world are calling and texting to check on us.

It was first reported as an LPG gas explosion but that has not been confirmed until the investigation is complete.

Here is the link.

We were in Mandaluyong at the time and were not involved.

The highlight of today was going to Snow World at Star City.

The cost was P160 each. The temp inside was 5 degrees F. There are two slides that you can ride down.

It was a great time but we only spent about 20 minutes total inside.

We will probably go again and at that time will wear warmer clothes.

The slides are a very cool experience and I was amazed at how fast I could get going without wiping out.

Thanks to the staff of Snow World. They do a great job.

We had 3 pinoys and me in Snow City. Three of us guys and Pinang.

There are jackets there at the entrance but there was not one big enough for me.

Next time we will know what to expect.

"taking of pictures and videos not allowed inside"

Get the F out of my way.....I'm with the cellar.org

Seriously, there was a nightly news clip on this about a week ago. My guess is that since then there has been a big increase in business that they have needed.

Why not have photos of the inside anyway. It's a big advertisement for the Snow World. How silly not to allow them

I put my camera away on the walk in and about 2 seconds after gettting inside saw camera flashes going off everywhere.

If they are not enforcing their own rules, then I will bend them.
