Day 6

Got up early and walked across the Campus to the Deaf school. Its called SAID South-eastern Asia Institute for the Deaf. We had a tour around Miriam college where the students from SAID are integrated a a suitable time. The College is a private school and the facilities were very impressive. This was a very stark contrast to the deaf school. After our tour we had lunch with the staff who were very friendly and then went to meet the kids. After a brief introduction it was time to leave. Some of us went for a walk up and down the road outside the campus to the supermarket. I bought some razors and a pair of flip-flops. Then ate a McFlurry, it was tasty. We walk to the university library but theInternett was even slower than divides phone :(. at 4pm practice for the fiesta in the evening. Caught a tricycle to Fr Jame's house for Mass at 5pm. this was very cool as Verbum Dei Missionaries from all over the Philippines came. After Mass it was raining stair rods. The roads had flooded bringing with it all the bad water from the non existent drainage system. We ran in the rain to the parish centre only about 300 yards. But we were soaked. This didn't matter as there was so much food and games that we were soon dry. The sit down buffet was amazing and included sword fish. The fiesta was great. We did a few acts including a round of London's Burning which was surprising tuneful, for an encore we included actions! The evening ended and we walked back to our accommodation in rain which had now become a drissel.
