Turn of events led me to meeting 4 nice people (according to first impression) today and have a great night of learning about their travel adventures. Thao (Vietnamese) and 3 more Kristine, Patrick and Kresta who are all Filino doctors just added colors to my typical work day with their stories, food trip and road trip.
So how did I happen to meet them? Well it's because my Lemon Chili Sauce bottles which I brought from Vietnam got confiscated by the immigration officer due to my ignorance about not bring liquids in my hand carry (this was during my first international flight and I was coming home to Manila from Vietnam). That was April 6 and up until early June I still couldnt get over its great taste and so I had this idea of posting to CouchSurfing.com this one:
And Thao MK graciously offered a stranger to buy the lemon chilli sauce. :) Today, Thao arrived in Manila from Vietnam and we set to meet at Robinsons Place Ermita (one of my least liked places in the Metro). She invited me over to street food dinner (which turned out to be Banchetto in Pioneer) with her Pinoy friends whom she met in Cambodia exactle 1 year ago! First thing that entered my mind is my being reserved of " Who are these people, i don't even know them, why will I join?" But there's something in my heart saying "Give it a try, it's something new!" So the learner and adventurous side of me gave in and it was worth it! So I met Kristine, Patrick and Kresta, too! I love the stories they shared about placed, food and experiences! I'm looking forward to join them in their spontaneous trips!!! :) Goodnight!
