Iloilo City
21 de março de 2023, Filipinas ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Questa impronta in realtà é solo per ricordare il viaggio che da Romblon ci ha portati fino a Moalboal. 36 ore di viaggio in totale!
Siamo partiti alle 2 di notte da Romblon, arrivando alle 10 a Roxas city. Lì abbiamo preso un tuktuk triciclo fino alla stazione dei bus insieme ad altre due Filippine! Sempre con loro
abbiamo preso un van fino ad Iloilo e abbiamo chiacchierato del più e del meno! Erano davvero molto gentili! Arrivati ci hanno offerto un passaggio fino al porto e abbiamo conosciuto il figlio di una delle due, un bambino di 8 anni che conosceva tutti gli stati del mondo, le capitali e le bandiere! Un vero genio!! Salutate le nostre compagne di viaggio prendiamo un altro traghetto notturno da 14 ore per arrivare a Cebu City (dove poi passeremo gli ultimi giorni nelle Filippine), poi una jeepney per la stazione dei bus ed infine l'ultimo bus per Moalboal!

La fortuna dei traghetti nelle Filippine é che il posto a sedere è un letto, quindi si può all'incirca dormire. Gli aspetti negativi sono che non spengano le luci e noi eravamo nella sezione "economy" senza aria condizionata e faceva decisamente caldo eheh.

Naturalmente appena arrivati doccetta e nanne ahah. Un viaggio indimenticabile...Leia mais

Dinner and chillin' out
22 de março de 2016, Filipinas ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Dumaguete unfolds into a throbbing party district at night. There are a number of certified party places where one can drink, dance, eat and be merry – even until the wee hours of morning.
We went to Hayahay Treahouse Bar and View Deck. We love the amazing sea breeze that blows through our hair as we enjoy our food. We tried their specialty Dumaguete Express. A band playing downstairs as well. We were surprised a lot of tourists. They said they're going for the beaches and other islands. It was a wonderful night with my sister.Leia mais

Afternoon tour around the city
22 de março de 2016, Filipinas ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
We went back to our hotel and rested before going out to visit other places before dinner.
We visited the Capitol and St Catherine Alexandria Cathedral. There is a historic belfry tower on the side of church. Transportation is basically tricycle in Dumaguete in other countries it is called tuk-tuk.Leia mais

Obs and gynae day 6
19 de abril de 2018, Filipinas ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Last day in hospital today! Woke up feeling much better than last night and so decided I would brace it in. Went in for the usual time and headed to delivery. Here I met Catherine who is a midwife. Spent most of the morning just chatting as nothing much was going on. There was also lots of local nursing students milling around wearing weird yellow and green scrubs. They were doing loads of obs and things on the women so we didn’t want to be even more in the way! Eventually we saw an emergency c section for a foetal bradycardia which was interesting. I waited around until about 12.30 to try and see one more delivery but nothing looked imminent and I felt quite light headed again so I decided to head back to the house.
I felt hungry enough to eat and so tried to have a bit of lunch which went down ok. We then headed to SM city to pick up a few bits ready for the weekend/next week. Got a few bits and bobs for the children at the village like notebooks and pencils and crayons. 3 of the girls had been asked to sing in a music shop so we went to see them for a little bit. Then headed back to the house, packed my bag ready for Cebu and then got ready for bbq night.
Had some food and did a song at bbq night but was still feeling a bit ropey so I went to bed quite early. Said my goodbyes to some of the Australian girls as it was the last time we would see them. Then headed for bed.Leia mais

Feasting over Batchoy
26 de abril de 2022, Filipinas ⋅ 🌧 30 °C
Your gastronomic adventure will not be complete if you will not try the Batchoy.

Batchoy was invented at the La Paz Market by a butcher who just put to good use some left overs of his meat products. Its a good snack especially for those who enjoys soups and hot meals.

This time, we ate the Batchoy at Netong's at Atria.Leia mais

Redefining the Ilonggo Kansi
26 de abril de 2022, Filipinas ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
For our lunch today, we tried Pat Pat's Kansi House. Tried their famous kansi, but the sizzling one. Did not expect kansi can be served in a sizzling plate. Truly redefining. Their Pork Sisig and Pork Liempo are also must-try.Leia mais

The Heart of the Catholicism in Iloilo
26 de abril de 2022, Filipinas ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
The Iloilo Metropolitan Cathedral is the seat of the Archdiocese of Jaro. Built in 1864 but was destroyed by a strong quake in 1948 but was eventually restored.

At the facade of the church is the image of the Nuestra Señora dela Candelaria which was accordingly found at the Iloilo River. Stories tell that image grows in size while in display at the church. It just stopped growing when the image was crowned by Pope John Paul II during his visit in the City.Leia mais

Medical ICU day 2
27 de março de 2018, Filipinas ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Up at 6.45 for breakfast of hash browns and fried eggs. Headed in, same old stuff. Nothing much was happening at MICU as it was all the same patients as yesterday and they were all now stable. There was a case report presentation on decompensated liver cirrhosis so I went to that which was actually a really useful revision session. I asked a question at the end and so the gastro consultant dragged me over and had a discussion with me which was great. We were also talking about nice places to visit in England.
After this I headed to the gym with Emma and Claudio. It’s right near the hospital which is super handy and only costs 80 pesos for a walk in slot. Taught them how to do clean and press and snatch which was great fun. Also managed to do the WOD from CFL in 31 degree heat with my swollen feet which was pretty painful! Also came out in loads of sweat blisters where I am sunburnt, ouch!
On the way back, we jumped in the wrong jeepney and so ended up the wrong side of the bridge that we’re told not to go past (oops). So then we had to walk back for half an hour in the searing heat. The route took us along the esplanade river which is actually really pretty so it worked out ok in the end. We also called at 7/11 to get mixers for bbq night.
Decided I had to give in and have a nap when I got back as I was so tired! Slept for about 2 hours, hope I can sleep tonight.
Got myself a bit glammed up for bbq night, eyelashes and all which was nice. Everyone was quite tired but still managed a few songs. I did the rap part to Usher’s Yeah which was super fun.
Then headed to bed, absolutely knackered. Have now recruited my flight socks to try and get rid of some of this fluid!Leia mais

Intro day
19 de março de 2018, Filipinas ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Woke up at 6.30am to have some breakfast, nice selection of tasty snacks!
Then met Joy and Richard who showed us to a Jeepney, the main method of public transport in the Philippines (basically a stretched out version of a tuk tuk sort of van with a completely unfathomable route network and payment system).
We made it to the hospital where we were shown into the student’s room. We were then informed that we had to attend the morning ceremony, where songs are sung, mission statements read and awards/intros done outside the front of the hospital. This also included us being announced and introduced to the team, having to stand at the front!
We then did a tour of the hospital where we were shown all of the departments. It’s all very different to the uk (obviously) with lots of cramped beds, relatives helping with care and unbelievable heat!
We then headed out to town for a city tour. First we went to Molo square which has a historical mansion where we tried Blue Ternate (flower) ice cream which tasted like vanilla and flowers. We then went to look at St Anne’s church before getting a jeepney into the city proper.
From here we went to the city hall where we were made to watch some strange videos about various festivals and world record cycling events(?) that happen in Iloilo. After this we were able to try on some local performance costumes full of feathers and beads which was great fun!
Next we went up on to the rooftop to get a view of the city. Not that attractive but there was a nice view of the ocean and the river that joins it.
Then we headed for some lunch at an idilic little restaurant called Buto’t Balat. It was a little haven in amongst the city chaos with a pond and beach hut style straw huts. Had some delicious mango smoothies and a variety of Philippine food.
We then went to a supermarket to get local SIM cards, adapters and crocs ready for placement tomorrow.
Back to the house for my intro meeting and a local language lesson. Trying to learn Hiligaynon is very difficult as it turns out! Another one tomorrow to try and practice what we learnt. Then we had some dinner and a bit of chill time. I was also not so patiently waiting for my email to find out which hospital I was placed at. Off to bed for an early night ready for the first proper day tomorrow. Exciting stuff.Leia mais
