Thanks Stang
I had a great time. Not really humid. I did not get bit by a single mosquito and did not get sick. People were great there. Visited fiancees classroom for their Christmas party. She is a second year high school teacher but here they would be 8th graders. Her school has programs for students so they specialize in a certain subject and then round out rest of classes with math, english, etc. My Fiancee is an English teacher by profession and teaches media arts. She is home room adviser for 2nd year students specializing in performing arts so as such the kids put on a very good program for their Christmas party. I brought in 22 pounds of chocolate from the U.S. for their party so of course all the kids loved me. I plan to go back in April, where the heat will surely be unbearable.
Diecast wise Tomica was the name of the game in Butuan City. There were a few Jada cars but otherwise it was just Tomica. Price came out to about $4.00 for regular line and $6.00 for Limited series.
When I visted Cebu, which is the second largest city in the country my options were a little better. The store I went to had a decent assortment of Tomica, some Siku, PM era Johnny Lightning, and about 10 pegs of mainline HW. I also picked up a car from some company I had never heard of and a diecast sample of a Jeepney.
I packed up all my diecast so cant show pictures. Planning on moviing this month (Though I left out the cars I owe someone..hehe. I will mail it honest).
