On Becoming Filipina in 10 months...

Islands=27 So now that I'm spending about 10 months in the Philippines, I'll be living the Manila life, reconnecting with my extended family and hopefully learning my Tagalog. I'll also be tallying how many times people ask me if I have a boyfriend and how times they tell me I'm fat. McFattie: 14 McSingle: 22

Trip to Lukang

During my orientation, I met another Fulbright person Nicole. She's a pretty nice hippie rockclimber. Currently, her friend Eric is staying with her on vacation. They're both very much in culture shock here, so I decided to play tour guide. I'm pretty proud of myself for being able to get around as well as I am. I'll post later about that. Anyway, last weekend, I took them with me to visit the hometown. We went to Lukang Beach on Saturday with Ate Liza and Kuya Ojit and fam. I also got a chance to test out my underwater camera case. fun times, except my battery ran out pretty early so I only got a few pictures. Later on I'll post some pics that Nicole took.

the port at Bayview. Ate Liza got the company boat to drop us off at Lukang, a private beach right near the power plant (scary just a little? )
