on the bus from downtown


i've been cooped up in an air-conditioned hotel room and an air conditioned classroom (and during the weekend, in an air-conditioned bus) for too long!
with no agenda in particular in mind except to get some air and stretch my legs, i asked eds and glenn if they were interested in going downtown after class. i think they were feeling a bit of cabin fever too, so they quickly agreed.

we actually just walked around, mostly did window shopping.  most of what's here's in manila also anyway.



we caught bus number 1 back to guang-fu road at 9pm.

it still amazes me that school kids here head home from school so late!  eds says that most of them have after school co-curricular (note: CO-curricular) activities like extra classes or tutorials, so they end at around 9pm.  9pm!!!  and back to school at 7am the next day.  i can't imagine.  anyway, the buses are filled with schoolkids at that hour.  imagine coming home from school later than your parents who come from work.  well, actually now i wonder what time parents come home from work...
