what’s up guys, gosh, a lot of things going on here on our last few days on sairgao island. there was an island wide blackout so no electricity all day yesterday. our room was so hot!!! no a/c so we had to get out. yes, it was cloudy again so we went to watch the chicken fights. we bet on a champion looking chicken and lost. it was pretty intense. took some photos and video so will post it later. but gosh, the chicken fights here are the real deal. i went to one in hawaii before but it’s just not the same. the chickens fight till death and the dead one is immediately on the fire. i swear, those guys were eating the chicken about 10 minutes after it lost. it’s totally illegal in america but it’s the national sport here in the philippines. something you to see. anyway, getting ready to get our plane back to cebu today. going to pack up my stuff, pay the bills, and be back in japan tomorrow. salamat sairgao…
the other day, hayato and i went diving for fish. as i told you before, there’s no fish in the philippines. but we tried anyway. and yeah, there was no fish. but there were tons of shells. stuck these in my pocket….
check out this little piggy. so cute….
and check out his brothers and sisters. these piggy’s mother died while giving birth so this kid is looking after them. then once they get big, this kid will probably kill them and eat them. that’s daily life here in the philippines…. and speaking about pigs, i’ve seen hundreds of pigs here, but none bigger than kalua. not even close….
**just wanted to say much mahalo to gerry, susan, and naoki from sagana, the staff at kesa cloud 9, and all the local boys here. i had an awesome time and will never forget your hospitality. salamat….
**anyway, gotta get out of here. can’t wait to get back to japan and eat sashimi with an ice cold beer…. see ya….
