I met Sarah from Canada through Nurul and she mentioned that she wanted to go to Pila, being one of the tourism ambassador in IRRI I arranged a trip for them but it would be un-ambassador like if I cannot join them...and so here I am meeting new sets of people, Nurul and Aureline were my connection
from UP Open University we travel by jeepney so they can have a feel of what it's like to go around places using public transport plus I really don't have a car (yet) well that's actually is the main reason...hehe
after this posing in front of the Pila church we met a lady named Ate Susan who works in this church and she offered to show us around
there's Ate Susan, the lady in black behind me and Nurul
my first time to see a priest's closet
at the back of the church
then we go around Pila and checked out the old houses frequently visited by tourists
the Pila Municipal Hall
United Nations on a tricycle ride
Sarah trying out the old style pump
Reza liked this house
people in Pila are used to tourist going around and sometimes they open their homes to them, like this Mama that I forgot to get his name, he allowed us to see his home
a view from Pila delights restaurant's window
delighted with Pila were me (Philippines), Aureline (France), Reza (Iran), Nurul (Indonesia) and Sarah (Canada)
Marias went to market =)
playing with the old mirror
going back to Los Baños by jeepney again =)
enjoying the trolley ride
safely back to IRRI =)
