More diving, Singapore, and a visit from Hong Kong

One week ago, I could spend a very nice week-end in Anilao with some friends. We went for 4 dives.

This was the view from the terrace of the Esplanade, where the party took place:

Visit of Sumi

Last week-end Sumi paid me a visit from Hong Kong respectively from England. We had not met for a long time, and it was nice to freshen up that friendship again and showing her around in Manila.
On this picture we are on a food tasting event called "Hungry Games" with Christian.
