Davao City

Went to Davao last May 20-21 (2008) for a remote trip, meaning work. But still I have my first plane ride ever. :) at my first time to davao super kain ang nangyari sakin. Since the flight was delayed we came after lunch n to davao, diretso check-in sa Mandaya Hotel, then to the Pociano Office, work kagad without realizing that I haven't eaten my lunch yet.
Afer some work done we ate to the famous Luz Kinilaw, ang lalaki ng tuna as in, feeling ko bibitayin n ata ako right after eating bunch of tuna, pero masarap. Right after that we went to some city hopping riding a taxi, and we tried to eat Durian, at first d ko cya n gustuhan at sa bndang huli indi ko p rin cya n gustuhan, at least I manage to try some, so not bad for a first timer. J Super tired elotte went back to the Hotel since umuulan n.

On the second day, we went to Matina office, then have lunch at Jack’s Ridge Resort… overlooking Davao City. 

 
After lunch we went to Crocodile Farm, nice since there will be a show later, akala ko nmn kung anong show, crocodile feeding pla. J hehe. I can’t remember the time when it’s my turn to have a picture with the python, super afraid elotte manage to take picture with Sir Eric Tomas holding the snake. Ako konting hawak lng sa body ng snake. 

When Chase has his turn, super naiinggit ako kc I wanted to have solo pix with the snake so I tried, kaya lng super afraid elotte doesn’t manage to hold the super kulit n n python ended super afraid elotte to drop the snake. Super afraid elotte turns to be super shy, asking my 2 officem8 to just leave the area. L Pero Infairness to Sir Eric, he told me na “wag u n isipin un, for sure indi lng ikaw ang unang nakabitaw sa python.” PoorPpython. L  After that we try some crocodile food, sizzling crocodile. A in kasing laki lng ng ordinary cut ng pork ung croc but amazing ang prize php300+ isang order, kaya we just make tikim. Went  back to the city, lakad-lakad sa park, picture picture, go back to the office… then ate BBQ meal from one of the BBQ house nearby at ang rice… eat all u can.  

 

On the 3rd day we are thinking kung kaya p b nmn pumunta sa Eagle Farm, sayang nmn kc andun n kmi. So go n! Nakakatuwa, ng enjoy ako sa view. Medyo malayo n cya sa city, matagal p ung byahe kesa sa stay nmn s park pero sulit nmn. J at 1:30pm nasa hotel n kmi to check-out, late check-out n nga e. J at 3pm nasa airport n kmi 4pm p ang flight nmn. 

@ 7pm nhihirapan n akong makakuha ng taxi sa Centinial Airport, mga buwaya kc. Grrrr.. Buti p sa davao indi namimili ng pasahero ung mga driver. As per Sir Eric mababa daw ang crime rates sa knila and bawal ang magnigarilyo sa public places. J Kahit n work related p ang stay ko dun at khit indi ko n puntahan si Pearl Farm and si Eden, ok lng. Nag enjoy p rin ako.
