Thursday 20 April 2006

08:56 -- We've spent several days in the Philippines. Tuesday morning we got up and made a short trip into town to get pandesol. On the way back we ran into Orley, who let me pedal his tricikad, which was quite amusing to all involved.

We made our first long shopping trek into Cebu that day. We met up with Sandro and Mina at Ayala in Cebu and had dinner. We picked up Ma and did a little shopping, then headed back. Wednesday Ninoy and I went took Ma, Ayee and Suyen into town and dropped them off at SM. We then went over by the Raintree mall and changed some money and had coffee at Bo's Coffee Club. We got a photo copy for the car licensing then went back to SM. We picked up Ninoy's daughter, Shawn, then we headed back.

We had dinner at Ayee's and Suyen and I had a nice front porch talk about politics with Edgar.

Today we are getting ready for the big trip to the island. I have mentioned to Ma that there is a way to get internet access to Rural villages. Bantayan is quite remote and the people there more than anything want the internet. I mentioned that there are many small towns and villages using a connection and redistributing via wireless technology. Need to do more research on that.
