What It's Like- Our House & Town

Image
So with the new year comes new posts & thoughts & I am finally getting around to starting my series on "What It's Like." The last two and half months have been non-stop craziness with the typhoon relief & though we are still involved some with relief efforts, it has slowed down enough for us to get a breath & return to some "normalcy" in our lives. The first thing I thought I would tell you about is where we live- our town & house. There are many things that are very similar to living in America & many things that are not. We live in the town of Puerto Princesa City on the island of Palawan. We have a commercial airport, a very recently built, small mall, with a beautiful grocery store that I am SUPER thankful for, a few restaurants, shops, & things that you would see in any town. But, we also have public, open air markets, sari-sari stores (teeny convenience store hut), ukay-ukays & wagwagans (2nd hand clothing store).
