Day off

Went to the Red Cross to give blood today but the doctor had been called away so it was no-go.

The Red Cross is slightly out of the downtown centre so we had to get a tricycle, like a motorbike with a sidecar type thing on the side. I was a bit worried about 3 adults fitting in but apparently it is common to carry 7! But Filipinos are ALOT smaller than me - think about how small my mum is! There is also a similar type of transport called a pedicab which is similar but with a pushbike instead of motorbike.

Went shopping in the afternoon, most of it in the department store which is massive and full of bargains! We also ate lunch there, for both of us including drinks, it cost about 95p, I can't get over how cheap everything is.
