Then we were off to the Chinese cemetry - This guys really are not satisfied with a normal tombstone; full catacomb houses! Here Charles and Myself are infront of one 

Lunch in China Town - I think I am becoming quite a chopstick-samurai 

Manila Bay Cathedral 

At the Entrance for Fort Santiago - Intramuros - with Tina 

Touring Manila Bay; at the boardwalkd 

Xmas is starting - my hotel put up this bigass tree this w/e. I feel all jingle-belly now! 

HOWZIT? 

THIS PIC is hilarious. See that thing, its a GIANT CLAM. Paul was taking the pic, while I was tickling its insides. ALL of a sudden the thing snapped shut. I was horrified! nearly drowned laughing afterwards, though. 

These little buggers are amazing - can you see them?? 

Lion fish !! 

Paul being attacked by a school of Jack (see the school in the background?) 

The friendly locals under the sea welcome us :P 

Palawan, Club Paradise .. 2004 

And the trip came to an end - Bye Club Paradise; Paul is off back to France - fine wine and french bread awaits him again ... Cheers buddy! 

Ze Germans (unt Austrian) are a little crazy, ja? ... 

Teheheehe - I do remember *some* moves from Varsity days, eh? 

Supper on the beach - anything your heart desires at Club Paradise 

My little place in the world records. Not many people represent their countries like I have on small deserted islands in the middle of no-where :P 

Germany, France, SA, Germany, Japan, USA :) 

This is our Dive Master; Jun-Jun (left) ... awesome chap. He gave me the map of the Japanese wreck we dived when we left :D 

The natives of the island have a series of complicated signs posted everywhere ...  

It looks like a Bryce Effect - a cone of sun glimpses through the clouds on our private beach... 

Greeted by song, dance and ice-cold watermelon drinks! Isnt this the way you always pictured your island holidays?  

Club Paradise, Palawan ... here we are approaching our island getaway. 

Some ppl wanted to see what my apartment looks like; well - here's my bed ... *blush*
