I went to go renew my tourist visa today in the immigration office. I got there right when it opened and assumed it wouldn't take more than an hour. Wrong. Very wrong. I ended up spending 2 and a half hours sitting there waiting. So many employees were just sitting around and it was so frustrating. I texted some of the girls back home about how it was taking so long and they reminded me, you're on Filipino time now, everything is going to take a while.
Things move slowly here and people are always running late. They say the more important something is, the later you should arrive. It hasn't been too much of a struggle until today. Good thing I was sitting next to an italian woman in the same situation and we pretty much ended up sharing life stories by the end of the two hours. i think my next trip will be to Italy.
On a side note, I need to stop spending money! It is so easy to spend money because everything is so cheap!
On another side note, Holly and I were bored this evening and found a documentary this family made about their unassisted home birth of twins. It was a bit much for both of us and now I am in the really weird mood.
