Explore Davao - Part 2 : Taj minar

Part 2 and 3 covers one day only - June 8, 2008 which was a Sunday. From bars to skyriding, it was undoubtedly an eventful day and rightly deserves two long, detailed posts. Here’s the first one.

We just came from our grocery shopping that Saturday night when our boss called and told us to go to Damosa Gateway. We arrived there lugging our shopping bags and looking really stupid carrying them inside a bar (of all places!).

Half of me didn’t want to stay there a minute longer because I knew they were bound to ask me to drink and I DON’T. But then I found out that there was a DJ mixing live! Wow! It’s been a while since the last time I’ve seen one in person! The last time was during the Etelecare Christmas Party at the World Trade Center last December which coincided with my birthday. I will never forget that night not just because of the mixshow or my birthday or my ugly pimples but for several other reasons which I can’t explain here. I’ve got pictures from that night of my most memorable birthday to date here.

Explore Davao - Part 1 : First Flight

I’m starting this series aptly named “Explore Davao” to chronicle the interesting happenings during my stay here.

Part 1 includes Day 1 only. It was my first time boarding a plane so this was a very memorable day for me: Saturday, 7th of June 2008. I rode Cebu Pacific Flight 5J 961

We took pictures in front of the Airport View Hotel. I was the only who did not check-in there. I stayed at a staffhouse provided by our client company. But that was okay, I didn’t like the hotel anyway. The only thing I liked about it is they had cable tv.

The following day, we went to People’s Park located in the city proper of Davao.
