Back from Manila

Posted in ach Uebrigens, in Deutsch, in English at 9:39 by foppel

Wir erfahren leider erst in 2 Wochen wie es gelaufen ist, Mai ist allerdings nicht sehr zuversichtlich.. wir werden sehen..

Hab mich arg in den Arsch gebissen, den ich hab meine Kamera daheim gelassen, weil ich dachte es gäbe nix zu fotografieren.. bis wir bemerkt hatten das unser Hotel uns in den 28. Stock einquartiert hatte. Der Ausblick, vor allem bei Nacht, war fantastisch, und ich hab mich nur laufend geaergert das das ding daheim rumliegt. Naja, Lektion gelernt…

Ansonnsten ist Manila noch so wie man es kennt; laut, smog und verkehr. Aber ich hab meinen Burger-king bekommen, und Mai hat ihren Frust weg-geshopped, da war das alles halb so schlimm :)
Mir ist dann noch ein N95 8GB (original, nicht aus Divisoria) so aus versehen in die Tasche gerutscht, das allerdings wo wir schon wieder daheim waren. In der Provinz ist das ding naemlich runde 5000Peso billiger. Und ne Karte von Boracay und Manila ist gleich mit drauf ;)
Nach Boracay wollen wir bald wieder, entweder um die Prüfung zu feiern oder um selbe zu betrauern ;)
We will know the results in about 2 weeks. Mai is not really optimistic, but we will see..

I cursed myself for leaving the camera at home because I thought there wont be a lot to shoot.. Until we realized that we have been quartered by the hotel into a 28th floor room with a spectacular view, especially at night, over the city. So I was constantly angry for leaving that thing at home. Well, lesson learned.

Besides that, Manila is still the city as it is famous for; loud, dirty and traffic. But I got my Burger-king and Mai shopped away her worries, so all was good :)
Then a N95 8GB (original, not Divisoria) accidentally dropped into my pocket, but that happened when we were already on our way back home, because that gadget is about 5000 peso cheaper in the province than in Manila. And a map of Manila and Boracay is included.

To Boracay we will go soon again, either to celebrate or mourn the test results ;)
