THE NEXT DAY WE WENT TO THE MANILA ZOO. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED ANIMALS AND WILDLIFE SO I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. THE ACTUAL ZOO ITSELF IS SMALL COMPARED WITH THE BRONX ZOO IN NEW YORK OR THE SAN DIEGO ZOO IN CALIFORNIA. AT LEAST WHEN I WAS THERE IN MANILA THEY HAD NO LIONS AND TIGERS- A BIG LETDOWN FOR ME. THEY HAD A LOT OF SMALL ANIMALS AND ALLIGATORS AND HIPPOS. WE HAD A GOOD TIME I SUPPOSE BUT I WOULD NOT GIVE THAT ZOO ANY RAVE REVIEWS.
I HAD AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE ON OUR WAY OUT- THERE WAS A MAN HOLDING A YELLOW SNAKE- I DON'T RECALL THE NAME- IT WAS NOT POISONOUS- I FELT IT- FOR THE FIRST TIME I FELT A SNAKE! IT WAS DRY TO THE TOUCH AND I COULD FEEL THE STRENGTH IN IT'S MUSCLES.
THAT WAS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME I TOUCHED A SNAKE.
THEY ARE NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANIMALS TO SAY THE LEAST.
MY FRIEND AND I WALKED AROUND THE AREA NEAR THE ZOO- IT WAS VERY HUMID AND HOT SO WE WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL EARLY. LATER WE WENT OUT WITH HER AUNT TO A GREAT BARB-B-QUE RESTAURANT CALLED KANSAS CITY- AHHH- YES -TASTE JUST LIKE GOOD OL AMERICAN STYLE RIBS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF AMERICAN RESTAURANT FRANCHISES HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES. PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER LOVE THAT AMERICAN INVENTION- FAST FOOD!
LIVE THE DREAM- WORK OR RETIRE TO THE PHILIPPINES!
