1) THEY LOVE FISHING (: and i have fallen in love with it too! I tried it with a group of my friends today and it's no wonder it's one of their top recreational activity. it's so relaxing you've got to try it too! Besides, the Philippine sunsets are gorgeous, and you are sure to want to be there to see one for yourself. What greater combination than a good catch in glorious sunset!
2) THEY LOVE EATING. If you've toured around our site long enough, you'll already know this by now. We've talked endlessly on food, glorious, Filipino food... and you've read about how they eat not three but SIX meals a day. but it is SURELY ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES, truly. Mealtimes have been such a joy from day one here in the Philippines. While we eat we talk, laugh, get to know one another better... and it's always nice seeing families and friends all around doing the same - whether they are gathered around the market stalls, or by the beach, or beside the pavements. you name it, and someone's bound to be there enjoying some rest time with hot food or snacks.
3) BOXING. It's hot stuff among the guys, especially. I haven't tried it yet but i've witnessed some of them have a good boxing game. It looks like a pretty great workout indeed and one that requires alot of mental focus at the same time. I think i'm going to give it a try at least once in the next few days and work off some of the huge meals i've merrily had in the past week =)
4) GOLF!!!! Another top favorite. Now this recreational activity here has an added professional touch to it - it's a way of doing business and establishing relationships between you and your business partners as well. With golf, who says work has to have no play at all? =)
5) And how could one forget Kite flying? The Filipinos love it and so do I, really. The Philippines enjoys some very nice breeze here, and it's a popular choice for something fun to do at the beach. I rented kites the other day at a stall nearby and had myself a swell afternoon!
6) COCKFIGHTING. Now this, my friends, is one amazingly interesting activity you can hardly get anywhere else than here in the Philippines. The people here are crazy about it and I am won over by their enthusiasm. you start thinking what's the big deal about putting two cocks together and watching them fight, right? The Filipinos will have you think again. Admist the cheering, shouting, jeering, clapping, laughter and among all your friends, you just can't help but feel excited about the game too. Start taking sides and you're going to be totally won over by then. you'll find yourself cheering along and supporting your animal like it's your new best friend. Well, I did, at least! =)
