Cold as #&%^ in Thailand

Drew — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 04:31:45 +0000

Normally I’m sitting here in a pair of shorts, no shirt, no shoes, just shorts, but today I’m in long pants, long sleeve shirt, hoody and a pair of thick socks. In my 15 years living here this is about as cold as I’ve seen it.

But, this is a great time for you guys to come over, cause it might be cold to me, I’m pretty much acclimatized after living here for so long, its great for visitors who think 68 degrees in warm. 68 degrees the wife and myself are busting out our down jackets that we picked up during our trip to NZ a few years ago.

Xtreme Rides in Cebu

Drew — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 19:22:05 +0000

Xtreme Rides I’m deathly afraid of heights, I’ve been to Vegas and refused to go on their “Edge” coaster, so not to be rude but if I wouldn’t go in Vegas with western construction and safety standards… Filipino safety standards, sorry I won’t be doing this any time soon. But for those who are up for this, it is at the Crown Regency Cebu which is the tallest building in the city. Adrenaline junkies can go to the top floor where you can opt to join in the Xtreme Rides that literally puts you on the edge of the city, or you can walk around the edge of the building to experience this once in a lifetime experience. All of these you can enjoy for a small fee. 350p to get access to the top area and 500p to do the ride, the 350p also includes a sandwich and ice tea. Have fun.
