My summer vacation in the Philippines was fantastic. I’ve traveled to many places with my mom, dad, and older brother. I have a lot of family members that live out there that I haven’t either seen or met yet. The last time I had seen my aunts, uncles, and cousins was when I was only about five years old. The weather in the Philippines was terribly hot. It was about 95 degrees everyday, but the many beaches out there made up for it. I also went to the humongous mall in the main city called Manila. It’s called the Mall of Asia, one of the biggest malls in Manila. There’s a lot of street venders selling many types of food, including BBQ sticks, chicken intestine, and balut, a baby duck egg. I don’t know how long it will be until I return back to my family again. Possibly a decade again, possibly never, but I know…that was an adventure to remember.
