Eltjo & Emiel in Manila

D'r op of d'r onder!!!

On Saturday morning, Emiel and Eltjo arrived in Manila. Not wanting to waste any time we immediately opened a beer (at 9 AM After a small beauty sleep in the afternoon we again didn't waste any time and started what would be the first in a whole series of very memorable nights. We started in Havana, a salsa cafe with a great terrace (which only flaw is the many middle aged white men with their prostitutes) where we met Camille and Ed. The next stop was Absinth where we met 2 Dutch people, Fleur and Jeroen - Jeroen was just a visiting KLM pilot, but Fleur was a great girl that moved down here to get away from Holland and live with her parents for a couple of months. After some dancing and drinking (Absinth of course) we moved on to Embassy - our favorite Manila club in case you didn't know yet for some proper music, people and atmosphere. As if that wasn't enough, we ended up at Rick's place dancing and playing pool with Ed and Tonjie and losing without a chance. HA! The rest of the week Emiel and Eltjo went to explore the town while I worked my ass off. Story of my life really.
