second day on the job
I am going to have to come up with a new title. I did find out more about where the beauty contest is going to be held. It will be in a small city named Laoag on the north west coast of North Luzon. This was the childhood home of the infamous dictator Ferdinand Marcos. I can go visit his embalmed body, if things get slow at the beauty contest, which is laid out on a mattress under some floodlights in the what else but Marcos Museum and Mausoleum. To add to the creepiness supposedly some eerie choral music plays on a continuous loop. There are some good beaches in the area and some terrific cockfighting on Saturday nights at the "cockpit". Sounds like an interesting town. After work I did take a picture of downtown but of course it does not capture the intensity and activity on the street some of which has to do with you cannot hear the noise all around. I will take a little movie to capture it perhaps. I had some delicious Green chicken curry for dinner. I like the clients and the staff at the centre but it does take the better part of the day , starting at 7:30 and fininshing around 5.
