More Cebu, and doing nothing

We feel like we should be doing stuff, but we're too lazy.

I did have to go find an ATM the other day though, that was an outing. The whole experience had the potential for extreme disaster. First I was dropped off at the hospital, where there was an ATM, but it was out of order. My trike guy had already left, so I just walked down the road, hoping I would eventually find one. I asked a lady where I might find one, and she pointed me in the right direction. Amazing, since neither of us could speak each other's language. I did manage to get money and a taxi back to the hotel.

There is a good collection of National Geographic magazines at the hotel, so I have been going through all those, but only looking at the photos. I feel smarter just holding a NG magazine.

Been watching Seinfeld on my iPod and mastering some Nintendo games on my DS. I finished A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. Wonderful book, I don't care what Oprah says. I loved the way he wrote the story. I am now reading Shantaram, by Gregory David Roberts. Its 933 pages and chronicles his break out an Australian prison, arrival in India, and his life as an actor in Bollywood films, a devoted employee of the mafia and the founder of a free medical clinic in a slum. Fascinating story. Denise already read it now it is my turn. Although ask me what I am reading in a few months and it may still be this book.

There have been some carolers coming around signing Feliz Navidad. Oh yeah it's Christmas! It's nice, but I think they are only doing our street, in a circle. So its been going on for a few hours.
