Hello all in foggy England. ‘Tis lovely in sunny Phili :)

palm trees & power lines

Not going to bore anyone with my holiday antics, so here’s just a few photos:

This, apparently, is the biggest mall in all of Asia. We spent a whole day there. It’s HUGE. Sure beats St. Anne’s in Harrow. This photo only shows a fraction of mall, where all the British stores are (Marks & Sparks, TOPSHOP, Debenhams… all the ones owned by the Arcadia Group.)

This this the view from the back of the mall:

Check out those mountains past the bay. I freakin’ love all the mountains over here. We went to a hot spring yesterday, and there were loads of mountains covered in jungle. GOTTA LOVE THE JUNGLE.

We also went to this orphanage place where my mum’s cousin adopted her doughter. We did a lil fishin’ there.

Beginning in mid-2007, four major airlines, United, Continental, Delta, and Emirates reached agreements to install Apple iPod seat connections. The free service will allow passengers to power and charge their iPod, and view their video and music libraries on individual seat-back displays.

URGH. I normally fly Emirates, but now I have to fly on a crappy airline. Just my luck ¬_¬

K, bye. Be back in three weeks (unless we get the DSL working over there, in which case ignore this post…)

….CRAP. I’m flying into a goddamn typhoon.

The storm packed winds of 120km/h (75mph), cutting communication lines and water supplies, and causing power blackouts in areas.

I DON’T WANT TO DIE :(
