Today Julie and I were off to a birthday Party of one of her work mates. The Party was at the local swimming pool and was an absolute blast! We brought a custard cake for the birthday girl and joined the Party. Like every Filipino gathering there is food, food, food and more food! Roast Chicken, BBQ pork, stirfry veg, tuna mornet, fried noodles, fried fish, coconut cupcakes - wow what a feast and an absolute ton of extras (something very common here always too much food) After lunch I chatted to my new friends and once again celebrity status and 101 questions absolutely loving how interested Filipino people are in me an my culture. We then swam in the most chlorine filled pool I have ever seen, diving in my eyes began to sting straight away. We swam and talked for 2 hours then the birthday girl announced it was time to eat again haha what we just ate two hours ago? More cake, chicken, pork soft drinks - wow where do they put it all they are so skinny. The sun disappeared and it was time to get back to the pool and take some photos with my new friends.
By about 4pm we headed back to Julie's and ate some strange thing called root vegetable before starting a yoga session where by I instructed Julie on the basics. In the evening we went and visited Angela another one of Julie's friends before heading back for an early night!
