mtbc: maze K (white-green)

I ate a nice quesadilla up in the mountains at the Ili-Likha Artists' Village which is what one might get if hobbits designed a multi-level food mall, quite a cool experience while requiring me to stoop in places. At a more normal mall, we went to the cinema, which was also a new experience: before the movie started, we stood for the Philippine National Anthem, which turns out to be quite jolly, and during the showing there were a couple of power cuts.

We stayed at a beach with black sand, from volcanic activity. The sand felt nice and the water was warm, I got to dip my feet in the South China Sea for the first time. With a typhoon somewhat sharing our travels around Luzon, it was not safe to swim.

Even in the tropics, we have noticeable change in day length. By 18h it has become quite dark these days. Coming back home north along the Metro Manila Skyway System in the night and the haze, through the cities of Quezon, Makati, Pasay, etc., seeing all the high-rises and the lights, from the elevated highway, reminded me of Blade Runner. I suppose it can sometimes seem similar to me, with the shininess up against the poverty, the mix of languages, etc.
