After a very long flight of 20h I have finally arrived safely in the Philippines!
I had somewhat of an overweight luggage it weight 36kg and you’re only allowed to have 20kg on Singapore airlines. Ooops… But I explained the situation to them and said I was going for Miss Earth for 3 weeks and they were very kind and let me pay for only 5 kg overweight instead of 16! The people who know me know that I can’t really travel with 20kg just for a weekend never mind for 3 weeks!
My first impression of the Philippines is that the people are very friendly and genuine and they make you feel very welcome. People wanted to take photographs and have autographs already at the airport, after a 20h flight though I just wanted to go to the hotel and have a shower first!
The hotel is nice I must say, I am sharing a room with Miss Australia.
Tomorrow we don’t have anything on until a sponsor dinner 7pm so I might just relax by the pool or something. Its 32 degrees here 🙂
I don’t know yet how busy we will be during these 3 weeks here but I will write as often as I can!
Now I’m going to sleep and try to get my jetlag sorted. This is how the rooms look like.
