In the Philippines!

Currently at the Nikos resort in Palawan! Its my first day here in the Philippines and the food is amazing!!! Nothing like what I've heard of the Filipino food we get in Toronto - probably because its harder or expensive to get the freshest ingredients which makes it so yummy!! We did a city tour of Puerto Princessa and visited a wildlife conservation area - pics will be up when I return! I held a baby alligator!!! Smooth... lol

Edit: Pictures added! Lots are still on my sister's cam - these are from the bf's cam.


I had to take a photo of the tiny immigrations area here - the two men were writing down our passport info in a notebook and the desk pretty much ends at that woman's elbow. Hey, it gets the job done!


Fried pork chop, grilled fish, bitter melon with beans and shrimp. I've been told that the Filipinos love their pork! Man, who knew bitter melon could actually taste good??? Only in the Philippines.


The gang walking in the animal conservation area, my hair was/is in that weird in-between-growing-out stage the whole time..so my photos this trip aren't that flattering - I miss my long hair! By the way, I'm not AS pale anymore haha


Baby alligator pile - gross.


Tomorrow: Underground river tour, possibly some snorkeling and island hopping. So excited!! I heard its beautiful, hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow like it did today =\

Be back soon!! =)

Woah. I haven't even been there. Just in Pampanga (my birth place), and Manila. Now I'm in the US. What a pity. I hope I can travel soon!
