Raindrops on roses

I've had a cold for a few days now, and am generally getting mentally worn down by being here and how every little daily activity seems to be complicated by unnecessary delays and confusion. In order to avoid getting too bogged down in negativity I decided to make a list of things I like about being here and that I'll probably miss when I'm gone:

  • mango trees
  • hibiscus and bougainvillea
  • Filipinos never seem to get angry or contrary
  • most stuff is cheap
  • pedicabs and tricycles are sort of cute and fun
  • pedestrians, bikes, trikes, jeepneys and cars all weaving together on the road
  • coconut and banana trees
  • thatch roofs (rooves?)
  • warm nights
  • geckoes
