It is quite impossible to learn everything about a new place, especially if we just spend a week trying to take in as much as we can. Most of the time, we leave a new place, with our impressions, not all of them correct.

Previously, I had an entry on how, in one incident, the MMDA traffic enforcers contributed to worsening a traffic jam rather than helping ease it. A pro-MMDA web visitor subsequently wrote us, demanding that we apologize to the MMDA.

We finally got to see the store Landes at the 5th level of Podium. They sell lots of nice toys, puzzles, and games there! The items are quite expensive but the selection is not the usual kind you'd find in department stores and even in Toy Kingdom.

On the day the newspapers ran the story that Noli de Castro now leads in the presidential surveys (gasp!), an elephant broke loose. News reports say he escaped as he was agitated by the fact that his usual trainer was not around. Some said the scorching heat got to him. I don't know about you guys but maybe he was horrified by the thought of having Noli run the country! The elephant show has a contract to perform here till 2004.
