Well, I had a different All Saints Day experience. Instead of visiting the departed ones in the cementery, made a different turn and ended up in SM MOA.

You can catch SM MOA fireworks every Friday and Saturday @ 7:00 PM. Dont forget to bring your camera to capture the wonder moment

Move over Ronald Mc Donald, here comes the VADA PAV!
Ano daw !?
VADA PAV (Wada Paw) a.k.a. the famous Indian Burger.

It’s the taste sensation of the Indian Nation !!!

It caters to all un-suspecting taste buds. You want spicy? Add more chili. Can’t handle the heat? You can have it sweet. And most of all, it cost very cheap! 8rupees  at any leading burger store.

Pag sosyal eto ang package mo.              In original package!
  

We encountered this extraordinary delicacy when we went out for a break on one exhausting afternoon at the IDC. It is sold in food corners like a normal sari-sari store in our place.  Its the fastest hunger reliever…. its just around every corner.

Last saturday we took a stroll in the old city of Mumbai, formerly know as Bombay. The city bears reminiscence of the British influence in building contructions, still plenty of old building around despite its progress. Below are the pictures I took during my visit.

Church Gate Train Station – built by the British, one of the famous tourist spots here.
  

The famous Gateway of India structure. Tourists from all walks of life visit the picturesque structure and take momentos that they can later brag to their friends and families. One can also take a boatride to the famous Elephanta Cave or just stroll around the bay and bask at the captivating scenery.

Still have plenty photos taken, I’ll post them once I’m done processing the files.. Till then..

Trip na Trip installment sa India…

You heard it right…. este read it right. It seems that people in here don’t mind if they got horned at. Kung sa Pinas to… nabaril ka na.. hehehehe… Kahit san ka pumunta.. busina.. busina.. busina at busina ang maririnig mo sa daan. At makikita mo pa sa likod ng truck talaga nila naka sulat.

Napansin ko rin dito…. halos lahat ng sasakyan may yupi… kita mo sa harap bagong bago, pero sa likod wasak ang trunk, or ang gilid may yupi rin..  kalalabas lang ng casa, sira na ang pinto… bilib ako sa mga driver dito.. mapa auto rickshaw, coche at taxi, ayaw mag bigay sa daan… pag hindi ka sanay sa driving style nila… aatakekin ka sa puso.. hehehehe

Sa baba.. mga larawan at tanawin… /gg

I was lucky, I got permission to take some pics of Indian food preparation, where it is otherwise forbidden by the locals, its not often that they would agree on having a snap of their place taken by a stranger…. Inside the Mall, Government buildings, shrines are a big NO NO to take pictures, I dont quite understand why, but they are sensitive about this.

Vamos a Comer….

Tandoori Oven.      How they cooked it.  Finished Product!
 

More to come… >>>>

Back in India for the 3rd time. Alot has changed since I first visited here last 2004. Shopping Malls are every where, traffic is twice as heavy, cars…. lots of them… most of them are compact cars, suzuki, hyundai, Tata. These cars are smaller than Honda Jazz, but still the king of the Indian road, Auto Rickshaw, parang jeepney kung sa atin. 

It’s their 60th Indepence celebration today, since nasa bahay lang ako, ginawa ko nalang tong blog ko. Wala masyadong ma pasyalan dito sa lugar ko dahil malayo sa Colaba area. Our office is located West of Mumbai, not much to see expect Infity mall right accross our apartment and perennial traffic that separate us from it hehehehe….

Below are some pics taken with my digital camera, it pays to have a ultra wide angle lens, EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM comes very handy and serves as my multi purpose lens.

Added some pictures from Changi Singapore Airport, stop over flight to India.

More to come… still have alot of pictures with me, have to process them first before posting it here.
