So here we go…
Phillippines speaks good English…. 2 thumbs up…

Now our first day we decided to just walk around and kind of get lost and hope we find our way back….and we did we walked and walked.

We also had a pre-birthday celebration for our son Mj who will turn 6yrs tomorrow. Today Marcus gave instruction that since tomorrow is our son’s birthday everyone must serve him…so we must address him as “prince Marcus how may I serve you” LOL!!!!

Well here are a few pictures of our adventures today of going into a country we knew no one in….

So wow…ok after 4 countries and 7 months into our 5yr travels we have arrived in Phillippines.

Ok now from the airport everything was smooth until the luggage porters came by to help….which I thought was very nice and that’s the job they do anyways.

Then they started counting our luggage and I thought it’s so we don’t miss any they where actually counting so we can go to their counter and pay $1 per luggage….lol!! At first I was furious and marcus was also furious. Then we relize it’s better this way for us no stress from tipping too much or too little.

Now it’s sunday so from the aiport to our apartment was about 20min driver. That was awesome for us.

Ok before I post pictures of our arrival and apartment….I need to share something that I think will help you when exiting Bangkok and you intend to claim tax refund…

When we got through immigration and walked to our gate which was closer to the tax refund desk…they told us they cannot refund until we get a stamp on the piece of paper before we checked in our bags….oh my was I disappointed….so just to let you know always get a stamp around the check in area before proceeding to the tax refund counter around your gate.

Ok now that’s done…where was I about phillippines…

So we are staying on the 26th floor of this beautiful apartment  in the center of town. Lovely area and has so many malls I don’t even want to start counting.

Our first grocerie….got to stock up the fridge…prices here are a bit high for food…Bangkok was cheaper.

But am assuming tomorrow I can find out where the locals shop for fruits and veggies.

So Phillippines is on and we are ready to rock this neighbourhood by the time we exit they will know The Manns clan….

And as the countdown comes alive…we are all packed up and ready for our next country on this 5yr journey…

Here are some activities we did today as we bid goodbye to bangkok the land of day life and super awesome night life.

image

We say goodbye to Bangkok the Antman way…

image

Just another selfie day

image

A little extra silliness will help the departure moments…

image

And back at the same place it all started…2 months ago when we arrived in Bangkok that very evening we had dinner here by the street near our apartment. And today out last night before we exit bangkok we decided to spend a memorable moment with our favourite food joint. Mj our 5yr  boy is now comfortable and sat in a chair right in front of the joint.

I am so sure a lot of the Thai people around our apart will be wondering who happened to those unique looking family….well it was fun…

Our flight departs at 12 noon tomorrow sunday…

Bangkok exploration comes to an end.
We are grateful for one of most magnificent exploration in one country.

Phillippines time to experience the Manns family

So Hubby and I went to see Magic Mike and to be honest it’s so bad I could not believe how the buzz was so big out here.

So the movie did not have any plot and each scene was so long that it was just boring…

But what hubby and I enjoyed is the fact that we are together and getting to spend quality time together.

Here are some photos here…

4 more days before we say bye bye to Bnagkok and hello Phillippines.

Mauy Thai Family

Posted on by
Standard

Today was awesome, my 5yr old has built up excitement ready to do boxing….to him it’s like batman fighting the bad guys….LOL!!!

So today as a family on a journey around earth we started our Mauy Thai and it was different and very hard… ( Mauy thai is basically like boxing but in this case you add your legs to the fight).

So for an hour and 30min  we where just boxing and learning to fight and defend. Pretty cool.

As a mother I was very happy to see my slef being able to do this activity with my kids.

What I personally loved about Mauy Thai is the fact that I can beat up the teacher and he will not beat me back….great way to let out your aggression…LOL!!!

Some great pictures of us getting ready to start our first class.

And the kids loved it so much they are actually looking forward to our next lesson on monday.

Here we are just having fun beating each other up…

Think twice before you mess with any of the Manns Girls. …and definitely the Manns batman….
