nyankoframeWe arrived on Sunday morning after a pretty uneventful flight (except for some slight turbulence). On Monday and Tuesday, I (together with the other debaters and adjudicator) took part in the UST IVs (inter-varsity, so essentially universities from the Philippines). The debaters broke through to the semi-finals and I judged in the other semi-final as well.
On Wednesday the debaters all disappeared behind their Economists (and other things) while I went together with the other judge on a provincial (out of Manila) trip to Pagayatay to see Lake Baal (a lake that has a volcano in the middle and another volcano inside the volcano) and eat buko pie (young coconut flesh with cream and in a pie crust) as well as bulalo (something like a bone soup, ours had a cow's femur and other extremly delicious but unhealthy things in it). It was a wonderful trip and I'll post some pictures when I can.
Right now it's the evening of the 0th day of the AUDCs, and we've registered and checked in, and are about to go for dinner.
I'll post more when I have time :) But it might not be that soon.
