Hong Kong (3rd time)

After a few fun days hanging out in Bohol it was time to get the flight back to hong kong. This time I went to visit the outlying islands. Much quieter and only a short ferry ride from the center. The first day I went to Lemma island, I met a new friend and hung out on the beach, great. The next day it was meeting up with an old friend, we got the ferry out to Cheung Chau island and hung out on the beach there, great again. There was also time to go to Mong Kok, a very buisy shopping area. Yes very buisy in Hong Kong means very buisy, late night shopping every night, the streets packed. There are loads of electronic goods at really good prices.
My final day way action packed, trying to meet up with all my friends here before legging to the airport, for the long night flight to london.
At London they tried to delay me enough to me enough to miss my connecting flight but just failed, they took my potentially dangerous toothpast and the factor 8 sun screen that I brought around the world and never used. Neither Hong Kong nor London authorities seemed to mind the rasor blades.

Jagna

So my new local friends, two sisters, invited me to visit them at their home on the other side of Bohol. After spending a night in Tagbilaran we got the bus to Jagna.
This town was a bit smaller, "provincial", this means no shopping mall or cinema.
Their extended family live in the same area so I met loads of uncles, sitting around and fixing the fishing net. Then the dad arived with the catch of fish, loads of tropical ones in all colours, I'm sure nemo was in there.
Their home was just back from the sea which meant i got a chance to go snorkling and join the family for a picnic on the beach.
The transport around town consists of motorbikes turned minibus modified to take up to ten pasengers.
It's striking that everone in the philepenes want to get out of the country.
I met bank employees retraining as nurces because a job in a bank is too risky,
when your boss nicks the money you go to jail too!
The next most popular option is to get a foreign husband, or boyfriend willing to pay for a ticket.
