So our home sickedness continues. We are most likely (~85% chance) coming home for Christmas break. This is good but it makes me only plan and thus miss things more.
So as the heading of my post implies… things to go to and eat while home:
1. Pizza – They serve the equivalent of Elio’s in restaurants here.
2. Cheesecake Factory – Please Please tell me I didn’t miss the Pumpkin Cheesecake!!
3. Coldstone Creamery – Please Please tell me I didn’t miss the Pumpkin Icecream!!
4. Diner – I miss you so much Cheeseburger Deluxe.
5. Museums / Art Gallery – Seeing photos with new eyes… the only one here is like a wing of one back home.
6. Rice to Riches – Nuff said.
7. Gray’s Papaya – Oh hot dogs… let’s never fight again…
8. Home – See everyone… AND eat real Filipino food.
9. Poonam’s House – Real Falalalalafals.
10. McDonald’s Breakfast – WHY OH WHY ARE THERE NO BISCUITS ANYWHERE?!??!?
As they say here… eh… for sure…. no doubt!!!

Harry Potter
We saw Harry Potter the other night. An enjoyable film all around. Having never, almost refusing to have, read the books I always enjoy the movies. Great stories in a pretty cool world. I was sad to see so little of Malfoy or my personal favorites… Crab and Goyle. I do enjoy seeing Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort…. you know… The Red Dragon… It’s all I can picture in my head…
I was thinking of actually picking up all the books and reading them… I have a month of nothingness anyway… Either that or more camera stuff… What to do…
FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT GAS PRICES:
Gas here is about $1.10… per LITERS…
1 gallon is about 3.79 liters….
1.10 * 3.79 liters = $4.17 per gallon
McDonald’s
We picked up McDonald’s after Harry Potter… you order at the window… They have someone hired to stand there in the window and take your order…. you drive up to the next window and someone else’s job is to get your food… O_o
Movies
We’ve seen Tranformers and Harry Potter… Next up Ratatouille and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and Live Free or Die Hard and Hairspray… Sadly… that’s literally all that’s playing in the movie theatre…
