Ærowyn: I want to go back to the Philippines.
Brandon: Why?
Ærowyn: I want to eat Bob's waffles.

Bob's is a western-style restaurant in Bacolod that we frequented. They had the best waffles in town. They were also the only waffles in town - but they were still pretty darn good.

Kristy: Is there anything else you'd like to do in the Philippines again?
Ærowyn: I'd like to go back to the other Bob's.

The other Bob's is Bob's Cafe - it's about 2 blocks from the first Bobs and specializes in sandwiches, yummy chocolate and fruit drinks and brick-oven baked pizza.

So in terms of the whole cultural immersion I guess we failed - but at least she has fond memories of eating western-style foods in beautiful, air-conditioned buildings in the middle of the city. Which city happened to be in the Philippines. :-P
