Ang masasabi ko sa iyo like what Maria Clara would say, Ebba, is huwag mong kaligtaan magdala ng supply mo ng IMODIUM!!! …pag uwi mo…it will become your best friend!

des, you are from Tanauan? My mom and dad are both from Tanauan. I have cousins who still live there. So you are familiar with Aling Atay’s Bibingka and Palairos?

EbbaMyra,
Talking about running to the CR. It’s true that whenyou are in PI your stomach is okay ,until you touch the US soil then your stomach starts to growl.I figure ,maybe the bacteria you are harboring can’t stand the cold temperature so it has to come out. This is not scientific, just my observation.
Fruits look so good.

We have Cambodia mango trees planted in my Lola’s backyard in Tanauan, Batangas. They were big and a bit matabang.

I got a tip from one of the travel channel shows, when trying cooked streetfood, look for those that were deep-fried in front of you and just out of the hot oil, to be safe. The only downside is all the fat. Thanks for the travel tips to Cambodia!

That mango looked appetizing.

Ewan ko ba, strange as everybody says, when I go to Pinas, and eat anything that I see, whether in the streets or in the Mall, ayos lang sa stomach ko. And going to the province, I once in a while cannot stop myself drinking from a “rustling” river or maki-inom sa balon ng mga binibisita namin. Pero 3 years in a row, when we get back to Houston, together with the usual “uncoordinated” feeling associated with the jet lag, aba eh pulos takbo sa CR ang inaatupag ko (same with hubby), and this last for a week or two. So.. going back this May, ay naku, Pampanga here with go – to get those carabao’s milk (for the leche flan and other goodies), and along the way, kahit ilang beses ko pang patigilin yung driver, basta bibilhin ko lahat ng makakaya ng bulsa ko, hehehe. Ano kaya at magdala na lang ako ng portable “john” from the camping store?

The semi ripe mangoes look good – pero mukhang talagang mas masarap kahit sa tingin yung local mangoes dito. Pero hindi yun ang tinitigan ko. I love singkamas (jicama ‘ba). And that’s what caught my attention in the picture (he he he). They look so crisp and sweet. Sarap pag may bagoong!

Sorry, I meant leaving their 2 college kids here in the US and bringing with them their 10-year old girl.

Mila how is Chiang Mai? My next door neighbor (WASPS) here in the East Coast has a jewelry business (hand made in CM). The couple fell in love with CM and the Budhist way of life that they decided to sell their house and move some time in September ’09. They said there are a lot of British and Australians living there also. Wish I have the guts to follow my heart’s dream and desire……btw, they’re also living their 2 college kids and bringing with them their 10-year old girl.
