Cebu city
I tried to remember what it was like when i was 12 when i first came to this city. It is very different now to what i thought i knew about the place. Things are more crowded and there are about 500 more chidlren here than when i was here. Its weird because im so much older now. Every one i was friend with is pretty much married with kids.
Well what you are all asking about is if i recommend this country to all of you. Well for me its a family cultural discovery about my past and reconciliation with my family members that i met when i was a child. The other main things for me is to pay my respects to my lulo/ granda father. I will get this opportunity at the height of the fiesta. Oh by the way is fiesta, so that means that there is a celebration nearly every night. The first night there was a dance competition and last night there was a singing competition. I however didn't go to the singing competition because me and a few of the boys (cousins) all went out drinking and playing pool.
So about last night - they have a system of drinking called tagay (tah-guy). this incolves buying heaps of beer. They then only get one glass, half fill it and then skull it down. They take it in turns and follow the same circle each round. This when i asked is done because it creates more of a bond between the drinkers. Its a trust thing. But you also get really drunk. I kicked there butts at 8 ball but they beat me at 9 ball. We then went to a place called halo which is pretty much like a cool nightclub but everyone there is asian instead of being white. And i felt like the token white dude, actually the only white dude. One of my cousins who is cheeky was tryingt o get me to dance with this chick. Its didn't feel right and nothing happened, then later i found out it was a guy. That the fucking heavens. Bloody cousins, gotta watch them.
Anyway there is a concert tommorrow and a wedding and im sure some day im going to the beach but im spending money way too fast.
Just one last point for clint. The mayor of the town is fuendes as they are a ruling family that own half the CBD. Every mayor is from that family and has always been. Like america you need lots of money to run for mayor and they have more money than anyone. Cant complain with democracy hey america. Thank you for freeing us from the savage and primitive lives we once led.
