Celebrations across the Philippines tonight will involve plenty of food, Red Horse 🍺, Emperor 🥃, karaoke and dancing to 'budots' tunes. Budots is a Filipino form of EDM that comes with its own dance moves. Seems to be hugely popular but not my thing.

Visiting some friends of my partner today who run a farm breeding roosters for cock fighting. Lord knows how they get any peace and quiet. The birds are crowing all day long 🇵🇭
Heading back to KL after a busy week in Bangkok. Going out of Swampy this time, because it was a cheaper flight. I usually travel via DMK -- small & old, but quick and it's not too far from the centre.
Swampy -- new, more stuff to do, autogates, but further out. Jury's out. U?

Last night in Dhaka 🇧🇩 and I've come to Jatra Biroti, a great little rooftop restaurant serving vegetarian Bengali food. Downstairs is a handicrafts shop.
Some kind of religious gathering or demonstration in Dhaka this morning. Bus loads of people convening downtown. 1hr 40min in the car on the way to the office and counting so far (yesterday it was 40 minutes only)
