Welcome back!

Well! Here I am again, back in the Philippines! I left beautiful Bangkok at 2AM this morning and arrived around 7AM. I slept terribly on the plane, the turbulence was pretty bad. (But granted that's because there is typhoon is coming) I felt utterly disgusting in that red-eye-flight kind of gross. Then, the long trek to the hostel with the big back pack didn't help. But alas! The super nice hostel was happy to let me check in early and I settled in, took a shower and the was the best thing ever.


burial jars

Somehow I had the energy to wonder around. I went to the National Museum of Filipino People. It has lots to offer. My favorites were the totally bizarre burial jars that were found Palawan. They are so curious and detailed. Also there was this contemporary artist Roberto Feleo had an installation and other works in contrast to the "Basi Revolt Series" by Esteban Villanova in 1820s, which is apart of the museums collections. I really like his work.

It was nice on Thanksgiving Day here to feel thankful the entire day for this trip and appreciate what a gift it is!
