Bacolod city

Maggie and I are currently staying in Bacolod city on the island of Negros in the phillipines. We have 8 days left on our trip and we fly to Manila on January 21st, overall this trip has been an amazing experience for both of us and we have learned alot more about eachother.





(random budha wall). Anyways, Bacolod city has alot of roasted chicken on the streets, for 3.75$ US you can get a whole chicken that has been roasting for hours, cut up with a meat cleaver, and bagged with a sauce of your choosing, an awesome lunch when your looking for something healthy.

everybody here in the phillipines is a big Manny Pacqiao fan and basketball is the national sport. Seriously, it's like an obsession here, there are three basketball channels on tv. One for broadcast of old NBA basketball games, 90's bulls, early 2000' spurs/lakers etc etc., one for the phillipino league, and one for current NBA games.

Every town, I mean every town has a nice basketball court
And I have never seen so many guys wearing basketball gear and heading to or from hoops games. I'm hoping to get to play in a game or two in Manila before we go home.

so were off to explore Bacolod for a few days before heading up to Manila. Have a great day everyone and looking forward to seeing everyone soon.
