Cultural exposure II.
I haven't tried a lot of different beer brands here in the Philippines yet; however, I think that San Miguel is one of the most popular on local market. It has a great taste and I like it, but still I can't stand that they serve it with ice. That is simply something I can barely accept. Beer is not a coke!

Manila - Let's show more photos
Weekend is here! At least I can take more rest and get tanned :-) While there is a tough winter in Europe I can enjoy sun here. Let's show some more photos. All taken from hotel windows.

Cultural exposure
Today I mentioned this restaurant to my colleagues and they told me that all the exposed food is made of plastic. In the first moment I didn't believe them but then I dropped by that restaurant again to check the reality and I found that it is true. It is all made of plastic! And it is hard to realize even when you take a closer look.
Note: I should mention that they serve a *real* food.

Manila the heart of Philippines.
I have arrived to Manila today. This is my first visit to Asia so it is quite new experience for me. I will put more posts on the blog soon; however, I made one basic observations today:

- I was wondering why we are told to use a taxi. Why we just don't rent a car? The answer is very obvious: We wouldn't survive. The traffic is very *dynamic* here. I can't wait till Monday - the first working day. The taxi driver told me that what I have experienced today is nothing comparable to working days.

Are you scared to open Pandora?
One colleague told me about Pandora internet radio (thanks Ted!). What I like about this radio is that you can customize the style of music it broadcasts to you, yet it still brings new and interesting content.
You start by listing a few artists or song names you like and then it delives content of "similar" style. Then you can thumb-up/down individual songs in order to further tune your radio style. In spite of the fact that I haven't find all my favorite artists in their database (Mustafa Aziza Zadeh to name one) I really enjoy this service because the flow of music is not interrupted by adverts and you can skip songs.
Pandora is more then just a radio. Check their blog and podcasts to find out more.
This Pandora is worth openning!

Mattias Adolfsson is inking
I am a fan of visual arts. I started my own account on Flickr some time ago and I was wondering what kind of artists (and especially illustrators) I can meet on Flickr. Soon I found that there are plenty of them.
One of the first artists I met on Flickr was Mattias Adolfsson and I felt in love with his drawings because they are quite unique both in style and humor. I have been watching Mattias Inks blog for some time now and it is simply amazing. Mattias posts a new doodle almost every day.
