Cirque du Soleil: Varekai in Manila! Part 2

Stuff I got that day. So there's my 2nd souvenir programme.

After 4 hours of sleep two days ago, I went to Manila Hotel to claim my consolation prize. I got lost around on the way, and even more lost when I was looking for the Hoopla office inside the hotel. It was actually quick when I managed to knock at the place and get a thin paper bag with some stuff. There was no excitement at all, probably from exhaustion of walking around. Manila Hotel seems like a nice place, but doesn’t look like a five-star hotel. I heard they’ve renovated, and saw some photos of the suites online which are really homey of some sort. The staff is very accommodating even for a passer-by like me, which is highly commendable. I wish they’d replace the Manila Hotel typeset on at the entrance and on the roof though.

Getting Too Close To The Sun

A few days ago, I joined a contest to get tickets for Varekai. I didn’t win any ticket, but I shall get Varekai merchandise for a consolation prize. J (Why hello again, #29 at 100 Things To Do Before I Die list. This is the 6^th time I won something.)
