It is nice to have the whole beach to yourself on weekdays here. I booked 3 more days at Raymen Resorts and will head back to Iloilo on Friday morning. |
The poor mans resort right here. Nipa hut central. |
Having a craving for Vitamin C I headed out and got some more of Guimaras's sweetest Mangoes! |
I like to peel my mangoes like a banana before eating them. |
Oh yeah! Nice juicy and sweet mangoes! |
With mango all over my face I didn't know what to do as I didn't have any napkins until I remembered TEA TOWEL LADY and the tea towel she sold me. I guess that blue tea towel DID have a PURPOSE!! |
The resort sells them for 130 pesos per kg and the first place outside of the resort sells them for 120 pesos per kg so I walked 40 feet to the last stall (They got cheaper as I passed every mango stall) and they were selling mangoes for 90 pesos per kg so I bought 2kgs worth (7 mangoes) and a bag of chips. Of course I can do the math in my head of all the groceries I buy and knew they would come to 213 pesos but regardless of simple math she pulls out a piece of paper and pencil and starts doing the math and I see her carrying the "1" up to the next column and comes to the grand total of 303 pesos!! I told her it was 213 pesos and that I would require 7 pesos back as change as I said "90 + 90 + 33= 213 pesos". We take simple math as grade 1 and very basic but even when I went in to pay for 3 more nights at 700 pesos a night I said "That is 2100 pesos" but she didnt trust my math and pulled out a calculator and punched in 700 X 3.
It is 1:30pm right now so I am going to head to the nearest town which is a few kilometers away and check it out. I am booked until Friday morning at Raymen Resorts and will be then heading back to Iloilo as I need to go to the Bureau of Immigration and extend my visa on Sunday (if they are open) or Monday before heading onto Roxas for a day or two and then to Boracay on March 4th.
