Cebu


The rest of Cebu was okay. This island isn't really about the beaches so we found other things to do... like going to the 'aquarium' (ie a few tanks with local fish and a tour guide that walks with you and explains what you're looking at in pretty good English). The fish were so exotic and beautiful. It's sad knowing that fishermen use dynamite and cyanide in the water to fish. It destroys the reef, kills everything in the water (both what they are fishing for and not fishing for), is not sustainable, and can poison the person that is eating the fish.

Watched a Filipino cultural show (dancing etc) and there was a fire dance at the end (see video). the lady boys here are prettier than I am.

I spent several hours at the mall in the morning trying to buy a "going-out" outfit. i.e. not gym gear and flip flops so we could hit the club at Vudu. Dress, jewelry, high heels, belt, and makeup... above is my attempt to put together an outfit. Vudu was an awesome space - a club you would expect to see in SF. Except it was Monday. And it was dead. Still had a great time anyway, drank, hung out, and then cabbed back... total night cost us $10 for drinks and cabs. My outfit cost me more than the last 3 days combined. But it's a good investment.. especially for Bangkok nightlife ;)
