This is in the sense of being dripping wet from sweating. I will take some
other transportation back, such as a pedicab. I’m sure someone wants to
earn some money and I’ll pay well!

I’m sitting in a McDonalds having a large Sprite and cooling off a bit.
This building is an old train station converted into shopping kiosks. There
are a lot of people here but not many are carrying packages. I think they
are mostly window shopping as I am.

It took an hour to walk the mile from the church to this mall. It was quite
a varied walk. I refrained from taking any pictures in the live animal
market as it would make some folks queezy, I’m sure. There was also a small
“theater” district where people were trying to sell all kinds of delights.
Fortunately, I didn’t understand what most of them were saying. I have no
idea of the Filipino slang.

The most curious area was where people had A-frame boards set up with all
kinds of degrees and diplomas displayed. As best I could make out, I could
choose which diploma I wanted and then I could buy it. The woman I tried to
talk to wanted me to go across the street up to a 2nd foor office. I wasn’t
willing to do that, so my curiosity remains.
