After our break in Hong Kong we head to Cebu, Philippines. The first thing I notice is the poverty in the city. It is under developed and dirty with lots of people loitering on the streets. It is however hot and sunny and the people are happy and friendly. Unfortunately for me the biggest attraction seems to be me! I have never been stared at so much in my life. I'm not quite sure what sparked the overwhelming interest in me but it kept the natives entertained. I was greeted by 'hello mam' at every corner. Michelle was lucky enough to blend in a little better than me.
Our first day was spent wondering the city where we visited a temple, a church, a native cross and tried to find some food. One thing that has to be said about the Philippines is that the food has to be the worst in the whole of Asia. I was looking forward to being back in Asia for the food alone but the Philippines did not meet my expectations. If you like your food fried and sweet tasting you will get by, otherwise be prepared for lots of fast food and plain boiled rice- yummy!
