A few days in the Philippines before heading to Kuala Lumpur AND Artisanal Silver + Philippines Silver Coinage

Last summer after doing Hong Kong Disney the TWELVE of us journeyed back to the Philippines. We had a long layover in Manila but with 6 adults and 6 kids we kept eachother pretty well entertained. By the time we arrived in Cebu we were pretty beat. We checked into our AirBNB and got settled.

The house was big... you could tell it was quite luxurious when it was new but had fallen into disrepair. There was a pool with a fountain, but it was filthy and smelled bad, so no swimming. Instead we entertained the kids by taking them to the mall.

SM Seaside City Cebu

Cebu is my wife's hometown and I lived here for almost three years myself. So we didn't do all the touristy stuff. In fact we were married here:

And our oldest was born here:

one of the best pictures I've ever taken IMO

Over the years we've had lots of adventures in the Philippines.

I found these coral bits and shells on a beach in Moal Boal. The "o" was the hardest letter to find.

But this time we were basically just dropping the kids off. We planned to do some more traveling in Asia with just the grown ups, me and my wife, her brother and his wife.

But before we left the kiddos with their maternal grandparents we had some more fun at that big ole mall:





arcade with lots of kiddie rides

This place (also in the mall) is more of a kid jail. You can leave them here while you catch a movie or lunch.

Did you check out Star Lord?

You know... @Mr-Vulcan made me his gun, the Element Gun in poured silver. Check it out:

Moving on... in addition to hanging out with family and friends and keeping the kids entertained, no trip home is complete without some HOME COOKIN!

"What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner?"

So essentially, we got the kids tired, fed them till they passed out, then snuck out to head to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur to be precise. Come back next time to see some KL pics.

More silver? Oh yeah, more silver!
