I had the best meal I’ve had yet in The Philippines at J & Greens House Seafood Resteruant. The price of the meal was very high for The Philippines, but the service was impeccable and the seafood we picked out live from their many saltwater tanks. The shrimp were the largest I have ever seen, [...]
Jason’s Grill in Cebu has “eat all you can” (as opposed to “all you can eat”) for P135, about $2.65. Most “eat all you can” places in Phil post signs that if you do not finish all the food you take you’ll be charged an additional fee. Jason’s Grill posts that the penalty fee for [...]
McDonalds serves spagetti and rice in Phil. A Quarter Pounder meal is about $2.05 (P11), large sized, but the large drink is smaller than a small drink in USA. McD’s also serves fried chicken. There are no salads and or special meals and the breakfasts are just the basic McMuffins. But it’s still nice to [...]
Fuentes’s Pension House in Cebu charges P1750n for their most deluxe room, about $34 per night, the rooms are nice and the service for the most part is good. We did use their laundry service and had a bit of trouble getting all our clothing back. They asked for us to provide an inventory of [...]
The first evening after returning to The Philippines, I spent the evening at one of many Bo’s Coffee Clubs and paid P400 (
I’m back in The Philippines. God, I love this country. I had a local attorney, Douglas Rustila, meet me at the Cebu International Airport. He happens to be best buds with the head of airport security. I breezed through faster than I could have imagined, no standing in line, and they had my luggage waiting [...]
Thursday, August 10, 2006, started normally enough. It was the last day of SES San Jose, I’d stayed out almost until dawn partying after the Webmaster Bash at Studio 8, and I was up just a few hours later to head to the airport and come home. On the way to the airport a buddy [...]
I didn’t take a lot of photos, but I do have a few good ones. The above is a pic of Robert Charlton, me, and Chris Boggs. I met Chris for the first time at SES Chicago 2005. He was on my short list of SEO’s I wanted to meet. He came up to me [...]
The 5th Annual Google Dance was last night and it was a great bash. An estimated 7200 people attended and the rumored expense to Google was one cool million. Buses started picking up people in front of the San Jose Convention Center at 7:00 PM and they ran back and forth from the GooglePlex to [...]
I live right on Hollywood Beach, and have for nearly four years now. It’s a quiet part of the beach, about a mile North of the heavily tourist-trafficed area. I like to rollerblade and bike on the Hollywood Broadwalk, and I do so sometimes two or three times a day, rarely missing a day on [...]
