Shangri-la Hotel Makati, Manila

I'm here at the Makati Shangri-la hotel. It's a pretty place what looks like near the financial district since I can see all the tall buildings with bank names on them from our room.

It has been a bit difficult getting adjusted to the time change since it's directly 12 hours difference from NYC.

The food is yummy. Getting to eat Tapsilog and daing for breakfast is a wonderful thing. I feel like a kid again. Mangoes, mangosteens, and lanzones are very tasty for breakfast as well.

Dori has started her day at 5:30AM and I followed suit. I'm just waiting for it to be a reasonable time to start calling family members to make plans for the rest of the time I am available.
