Manila miscellany
So, in this visit we acquired about 30 new family members, of every decade from 0-10 through to 70-80, all very genuine in welcome and preparedness to show genuine affection. It was a very heart-warming experience.
A pic of Lachie reading his birthday card from us in the hotel, walking along a normal Angeles (a satellite town of Manila) residential street, the confusion of overhead wires everywhere.
One rather surprising person in the family. We had pre-baptism lunch in a cafe owned by Michelle, whose 17 year old daughter is named Heart. Her face is there by the cafe sign. There is another pic of her with me with a badge around her neck. Someone told me that Heart is a Hip Hop dancer and has her own group, called, Heart. Heart is the leader and choreographer. This group dances internationally and I was told that if I googled Heart, Hip Hop, Philipinnes, competition youtube I would see them. I did that and there they are WINNING the world under 18 Hip Hop competition in Las Vegas! Heart is a schoolgirl!
The badge around her neck was to visit the world basketball championships in Manila that night.
