My Visit In The Phillipines Day 3.

"Laird Laird, wake up." I slowly open my eyes to Marcos smiling. I sit up and rub my eyes and say good morning. He smiled again and asked me if he could help me pack for the long flight home. He seemed satisfied when I said yes. We got all my stuff packed up and took it to the door and then we made breakfast. Today he wanted me to help him with breakfast. We made pork with mango seasoning, beans and  had pina juice (pineapple juice). We ate our breakfast and then we called a taxi put my stuff in the taxi and said my goodbyes. We did a handshake which turned into a hug. I told him I would come back when I could, then I got into the taxi and left. 

My visit in the Philippines day 2

CACKAHHH. A rooster. I slowly open my eyes to the sound of cackling chickens and the scent of mud and ocean air. I get up put some shorts and a t-shirt on. I then go to the kitchen. Once I leave my room I am overwhelmed by the smell of eggs some kind of meat and and tortillas. I enter the kitchen and see Marcos busily cooking. I ask him what he is cooking and he tells me spanish ham, eggs and tortillas. He keeps cooking so I sit down. After two minutes or so he asks me to go to the market and get some guavas. He tries to give me money but I tell him I will pay. So I walk down the path into the market. I am a bit scared and self conscious being the only American. I find a place selling guava and I motion how many I want. It was very hard to communicate but he finally understood I wanted four. He then counted my money and shook his head. I then put more money on the table and he shook his head again. I then realized he was giving money back and then he showed me that I needed to give him a peso. After we finally figured it out I walked back to Marcos's house. He was laughing and I asked him why he was laughing he said it was hilarious watching me try to figure the market out, I laughed too. We had our delicious breakfast and we went to go feed the pigs, chickens and goats. That was a lot of fun but it smelled terrible. After doing that we went to the beautiful ocean and swam. We were in the water for maybe an hour than we went to buy lunch in the market. We had a sandwiches from the market. After that we went to the house to get some more feed for the livestock. We fed the the chickens, goats and pigs. Once we finished that we went for a walk in the jungle because he wanted to show me the monkeys. We were close to where they were but it was getting dark and you don't want to be in the jungle at night we went back to the house ate our sandwich leftovers and went to sleep.

My Day In The Phillipines Entry 1

Wow, I get off the the plane and the scent of jet fuel over whelms me. I get into the terminal in Manilla, where I connect to another flight to the small airport of Trinidad, Bohol. Once I managed my way through the Airport, I found my gate and hopped on my flight just in time. I was so tired from the flight before I passed out on the hour long plane ride only to be shaken awake by the flight attendent when I got there. I step out of the plane and look around. I see a very small airport and a farm about 300 yards away. I can't hear much with the propeller spinning but once it stopped I can here birds and monkeys off in the distance. I stepped down from the plane and go into the airport where I see my driver. His name is Juan he is very nice. He drove me to Marco's house where I tipped him $5 he was very excited to see American money for some reason. I met Marcos and talked to him for a while, but it was getting late and he had to go to the market to get some food for dinner. He took me to his house first  and showed me where my room was. It was very small but comfortable and a nice made bed. In the time he was gone I got all my stuff layed out and started playing temple run. When he came back through the door he had a bag of tortillas, chicken, vegetables and guava juice. He said he bought a fancy dinner  because he had a guest. He set his stuff down and then he put his wallet down on the table. I realized it was empty and I felt so bad he was treating me to a nice dinner so I pulled out my money and asked him where I could convert my money. He took me to a hotel very close to his house. I exchanged $500 for Philippino Pesos. On the walk back I gave him $100 worth of Pesos. He refused but I told I really wanted him to take it for dinner and he did. It made me feel good to of helped him even more. We went home and I helped him make dinner he took the tortillas and sliced them and then he took the chicken and chopped it up. He then diced the vegetables and put all the food in boiling water. When it was done boiling he got two bowls and two cups and served us our food and guava juice. It was very good and it smelled amazing. After that I he washed the dishes and and told me I looked tired and to go to bed.

Dancing around the world

 These are the places I went during my trip of dancing. I went to one place on each continent except for Antarctica, so instead I went to the Middle East. For North America I went to Boise State I got to dance  on the Broncos field that was awesome. Next I went to Caracas, Venezuela, I liked it there a lot the people very nice seeing our country's are not the best of friends. Then I went to Australia, once I got there I headed for an area of the barrier reef that was "the least sharky" well we definitely saw some sharks but I danced under water there and then I flew to Japan. I got to Tokyo airport then I drove an hour to the bullet train station and then I hoped on a bullet train and went to Kyoto. When I got there I got a taxi and went to the temple where the Emperor lived before he moved to Tokyo. I danced in the palace and then went back to the airport. I then flew to Kabul and when I got there I was put in an armored truck with U.S soldiers because it is very dangerous to be an American child there. I went to the fountain and I danced with the skaters. When I was done with that I got back in the truck and went to the airport to fly to Africa. When I got to Africa well Rwanda I drove out to a place called Kigali I danced in an alley way there with a few locals. I then got on a flight to the airport that I arrived at then I went to London, England. When in the I transferred flights and went to Edinburgh, Scotland I got there and I was taken to a mountain with all these really cool ruins and we danced on top of that mountain with all the viewers of the ruins. I then hoped on the plane and flew home.
