spent the last 2 nights in makati, manila with my brother who visited me en route to Taiwan. His friend treated us to some royal banquet with some shark fins soup, peking duck, huge prawns in the 40th tower floor of some private only club. Chauffered us around with his bodyguard and also paid for our hotel stay. It's been a while since I've eaten like that... typically only at weddings or business events.
Anyway, it was fun, but now i'm back to reality, at the plaza de factory with mess hall dinners and a shabby dorm room. yay!
