Welcome to Jeremiah's Great Adventure!

This blog is a near-daily account of my experiences in the country of the Philippines. To me this is significant because I have never stepped foot outside the USA in my life before. So I have decided to provide my family and close friends a small glimpse of what I do here and what there is to offer here.

So please enjoy my journey through my words and pics , as I get them. And please feel free to comment and ask me questions.

Of Laundry and Going Out

A few days ago Ching taught me the proper steps in the method of preparing laundry washing and care. I think it took around 2 or so hours to get through the process. But in the end I felt rewarded in my efforts; all hand washed, with some small help of the ancient washing machine doing most of the agitating cycle. Though the real washing and rinsing was left to we humans. I came away with this with an even greater appreciation for the efforts for those who do this on a daily basis.


I finally got out from behind my computer today, accompanied by Ching to the NCCC mall (New City Commercial Corporation) to get a few needed items. After, I treated Ching to dinner (Chow King) to show my appreciation for her efforts and kindness in helping me with my stay here to be more comfortable and enjoyable.

Tomorrow I plan to go to a nearby store to buy some formal shirts for my teaching days. Formal in this case meaning a t-shirt with a collar. Still very comfy :) Thank god , no tie! lol

Though this means I will need to exchange some of my US money since I am nearly depleted of my current pesos. I have 20 usd on me, that should give me enough to get by until I can exchange the 90 in my bank account , as soon as we can find a good place to pull the money from it to exchange. But that should pose no problems.

More to come soon!
