Day 1: Dumaguete City

January 20, 2012

Our flight was at 1500H so we attended our class first, namely Tour 175. Thank God it was ACLE on that day so we wouldn’t have to worry about being absent on our afternoon classes.

We went to the NAIA 3, my first time there, via cab. We had our lunch after checking in inside.

We saw a Senator in the airport and observed that they wouldn’t have to fall in line upon entering, his whole entourage didn’t have to. They were so special.

Inside the terminal’s toilet, we saw Bianca Manalo. She was really pretty and tall, maybe as tall as me and Erika. And she was really slim! Pfff. There were a couple of personalities there also and Danica said maybe because it was Dinagyang Festival.

View from the plane: Taal Volcano

My favorite picture (taken from cellphone): A rainbow!

Our flight was slightly delayed so we arrived in Dumaguete at around 1630H. Their terminal was small, like that of Dipolog City. Our first impression was that the people were really nice which explains why the city is dubbed as the ‘Land of the Gentle People.’

We were then transferred to our hotel, the Bethel Guest House which gave me the impression of a hospital (creepy haha). We chose to ate at Jo’s Chicken Inato because we read in the in-flight magazine that it’s a must-try. We rode their 6-seater tricycles going there!

The restaurant’s price was affordable. I think we spent 140 each with unlimited rice. The taste was a little bit similar to that of Chiken Inasal.

Dumaguete is small, you can easily walk around the City and you wouldn’t get lost. The only little challenge is that not all people can understand or speak Tagalog.

(Day 2, 3 and 4 to come soon. I really wanted to blog about the trip so the next time I can, I’ll surely will. School is really busy right now, my planner is packed until February 11. Hope I can survive this semester!)
