Leaving

All my bags were packed, I was ready to go...standing there outside my door:

Sorry about that - I couldn't resist saying those lines after I went through my camera and saw this picture. In case you were wondering - yes, those are my bags, and yes, this was taken right before I rode the cab to the airport. The cheesiness is appropriate.

Here is what my street looks like at 4am in the morning - I took this short video just moments before boarding the taxi:

A quick disclaimer before I continue - yes, I am home - I've been here for 3 days, and I am writing this from my apartment in Manila. I will continue to update this space with some of the other stuff I saw while I was in Poland - haven't had time to write about everything yet. So keep checking back for updates.

Anyway, on with the post. My flight was an early one - departure was at 6:20am. It was freezing outside - 0 degrees C, with lots and lots of wind.

You couldn't exactly see the wind in the picture, but trust me, it was there. You can hear some of it in the video I posted above. When I saw this thermometer, I started debating in my mind whether to wear 5 layers of clothes (since it was so freaking cold), or only 3 layers (since I was headed to a place where it was 29 deg C). I wore 4 layers - hehehe.

Guess what I did the moment I landed in Manila?



I met up with Mr. Sisig and Mr. Lechon Kawali. Mr. San Mig Light was also very happy to join us. Sarap!

Sorry for turning this again into a food post at the very last minute - I guess its now clear why I gained 10 lbs in the last 30 days.

See you guys around!
