The dry wet

Day 2 is done, and what I can conclude after my second day here is that the Filipino people are generally lovely. But that they must all be liars. I am in Manila in the wet summer season and in almost 48 hours I have not seen a drop of rain. We have been limited in the places we can go (or at least schedule) because apparently there are places that you cant get to in the wet. But it hasn't rained a drop! Liars! Or is this another global warming phenomena???

Well I wont complain, as it makes it very easy to get around, but I think its very suspicious. Vote in the poll - how many days will it be rain free? We are only hours away from reaching the 2 day mark and the sky is blue so 2 is a safe bet, but lets see how far these shenanigans will go on for.


Work was busy today, so I didn't take many interesting pics, but here are a few to tell more stories about Manila.

This is a shot from yesterday. For those camera nuts out there it was one of my many experimental shots playing around with my camera. And to add extra interest, this is a tomato plant that I planted. Yep, see how hard-working I am!


And while this may be a pretty crappy photo, it shows what a typical street looks like. This was taken from a car window, but its on a main road and there are places like this everywhere. This one is average. There are many worse and some better.

But I don't want to paint a totally gloomy picture. There is a nice buzz about Manila. And I only joke about the locals being liars. They are just obviously terrible meteorologists!

Well, vote now and I'll hopefully bring stories of rain soon.
