Pirate Shop Dancing

Downtown Cebu. A good place to go shopping.

Burn Belly Exotix Bancing

In the evening, Reggie drove Suzette and I downtown because Suzette wanted to get some bootleg software and DVDs. The neighborhood was a little shady and Reggie said I should take my camera with me—I took it anyways.
On average, a bootleg DVD movie costs 50 pesos ($1 USD) and are usually decent quality. Some DVDs have themes like all Bruce Willis films and contain many different movies related to that theme. Since those DVDs have to compress the movies a lot, quality is usually bad. I ended up buying Wall-E, Hellboy 2, and The Unit Seasons 1 and 2. I don’t normally watch TV but Suzette said I would like The Unit which is based on a US Delta Force military unit that does covert operations around the world.

A nice chicken soup at Golden Cowry.

After work, HPI took everyone out for dinner and drinks. We all ate at Golden Cowry which is a traditional Filipino restaurant which was very good. In fact, I think it was the best Filipino food I’ve had out here. I didn’t realize there were so many different dishes—I was used to the common bbq dishes you’ll find on the street.

Disco ball dancing at Formo.

Lounging at Formo.

Next, we all went to Mashiro’s Lounge where we had some drinks and did a little dancing. After Mashiro’s, we went to Formo again for more dancing and late night partying.
