Woke up with a hammering head and sore throat his morning - I blame it on the air conditioning, of course. And no, I wasn't even part of the crowd who got stranded in the "Last Man Standing" pub last night and found some trees in their way (there actually is one mean tree right in the middle of the boardwalk on the way to our hotel...).
Got some strepsils at the drug store and it's getting better now. So for today, only a few pictures. My highlight was the skype call (without sound) and conf call (with lots of sounds) with Boyax and Pasali, both calling from different places in Mindanao. Let's put it like this: They have very active roosters in Mindanao - the constant "kikkeriki" and "cock-a-doodle-doo" (some dogs barking in between) was heartbreaking and mouthwatering at the same time. At some point all of us were considering to have chicken for lunch:-) Really a different kind of teleconference experience, for sure!

Some pics from the Monday night out at Barbara's and Manila Hotel (for some reason I could not turn the picture of Vineet doing the national Filipino dance):
And some week-end pictures from Intramuros, starring Andrie, who joined us as friend and tour guide; Minion (happy and fluffy), famour tour guide Carlos (ran into him); Senior Rizal - the national hero (he translated Andersen and Grimm, Goethe and Schiller from German to Tagalog and was a doctor, philosophist, artist, and alleged revolutionary); lots of families at Luneta Park.
And the real, nice camera pictures from SOS Children village:
