Carson and I went to the Philippines for a couple of days, and it was so fun!  The people there were so laid back.  It was nice to get away from all of the hustle and bustle of Korea.  The first place we went to was Magellan's cross.  Since it is a tourist spot, there were a lot of beggars there.  There was a lady with a baby right as we got out of the taxi.  Then we just got swarmed by a bunch of people asking for money.  It was really overwhelming at first.  There was one little boy who was particularly persistent.  He kept putting his hand in front of us and saying, "Please, Please.  Hungry."  I felt so bad because we didn't have a ton of cash on us, and it was all in bigger bills anyway.  
A lady at the cross asked what our names were so she could pray for us.  She couldn't quite pronounce Carson's name so she said something like, "Cawkson."  When she was praying for us, the little beggar boy started laughing.  He just kept laughing then said, "Cawkson, my friend."  
The picture at the top of this post is us riding in a horse-drawn cart.  We didn't really have anywhere to go so we just paid the guy to take us around the neighborhood.  After, we asked if we could take our picture with him.  Carson gave him the camera and told him what button to push.  I don't think the guy had ever seen a digital camera before.  He first pointed the camera the wrong way, like he was taking a picture of himself.  Then we told him to turn it around and he was really surprised that he could see us in the screen.  Not a bad picture for his first time right?
Later that night, we were walking around the area that was near our hotel.  We started to walk up a hill and a guy asked us if we wanted a ride on his motorcycle.  He said he could take us to our hotel for the equivillant of  $1.  So the three of us all rode up the hill on his little motorcycle.  It was pretty fun!
