    Thumbs up

    Didn't see any of those... But I DID get a large-ish brown spider crawling all over me as I was walking. He couldn't have been more than about 5-6 inches, but he got evicted from my person promptly.


    Done.
    Glad the trip went well.

    As A Canadian...

    You might enjoy this. I was in Manila about 6 years ago to train the new staff that replaced & made my entire department redundant. Anyway, there is a huge mall in Manila called MegaMall. It has an ice rink. All the lines are painted, goal creases etc BUT there is a cement column running, right smack into, if memory serves, the center ice redline. Gives new meaning to hit like a ton of bricks.

    LOL! Geez! Maybe that should become standard in the NHL. May add an extra challenge to the game! :-D

    Ooooh Lordy! I'm not keen on creepy crawlies of any description... 5-6"? Phew! It's not that I'm scared of spiders it's just that they give me an incredible urge to walk briskly away. Glad you had a good time, sounds like you needed it... and condolences for your dead fridge. I've experienced similar myself. My heart goes out to you.
