A day at the mall

 It is kind of funky how many malls they have here, in fact the largest mall in Asia is in Manila. I heard it would take three days to see it all (Smithsonian has nothing on them). If you like shopping and are a size one, fit in a "A cup" and have a foot size of 5 or less than this is the place for you. I do not qualify for any of those things so it is kind of a bust for me however, we did find some pretty funny things for the kids to enjoy.  Yes, we did have to soak them in a bucket of bleach when we got home but man was it fun!

now that is a good time!

I think in the short time that we have lived here, the number one thing that I have learned is to have patience, lots of it. If you purchase anything little or large plan on it taking a half hour to get from the check out to the exit of the store not too mention wait time for the driver. The first time we purchased something that was electronic they asked if I would like to have it tested? "Why?"- I guess you always have everything tested to make sure it works before you leave the store (hmmm....).  Then they make you come over and show you that it is in working condition before you leave. It makes you feel really confident about your purchase. Trent was playing "store" with Sydney the other night and she said,"Wait one moment sir, I need to test it before you can leave." Perfect!
