We had arranged to go out with our new friend Shiela when we got back to Manila. She met us at our hotel and we had a lovely evening at a nearby restaurant. She might be visiting Tokyo in May on business so we may be seeing her again soon!
It occurred to us that the Philippines is one of the only countries we have travelled to and actually made local friends while we were there. I am sure we will stay in touch with Sheila, Ferds, Carol and Lexy. It is such a friendly country!
