..::Asiapaloooza::..

Life on the road is exhilarating, but at most times not as glamourous as everyone believes. Just like all jobs, there are downsides, but I like to think that seeing the world on someone else's dime is one of the perks of my job. Perk #1 of Asiapalooza is that we got put up in the Mandarin Oriental in the Philippines and it's absolutely gorgeous. Everyone here has been EXTREMELY helpful and VERY POLITE! Since my time here is limited (41 hours) I tried to make the best of it by hitting up the pool for a couple of hours today before I head into work a 14 hour shift. Luckily for me, I also love my work, so those 14 hours should literally fly by just in time for me to do a little sight seeing before I fly off for Korea tomorrow evening. I'm sorry for the lack of pictures, but I'm trying my best! How cool are these lil taxi/buses? They are all over the place and each one is decorated differently and stops at limited stops, which are indicated in writing on the sides. People literally hop on and off them soooo quickly into moving traffic, its crazy, but fun to watch the way they maneuver in the bustling city streets. Time for this lil traveler to catch a few ZZZ before the work night begins. Asiapalooza is going to be quite the whirlwind (3 countries in 11 days) let's see if I can keep up.
