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.
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...
