Leaving Manila

I never thought that travel from Manila to Biggar is crazy.

The first of the three—yes, three air plane rides which was almost intolerable---rides we’ve had was really long. The flight to Vancouver was in a jumbo jet which was cozy. They got and while we are getting nearer to our destination, the plane is getting smaller and smaller. We had two connecting flights after Vancouver that makes it almost intolerable. I enjoyed my first airplane ride with Philippine Airlines but after that no more—I’ve had enough of it. During the third and last final flight, which was from Calgary to Saskachewan, we’ve noticed that the place looks empty at night. No lights except that of the airport. I guess the best explanation to that is there are hardly any people in Canadian rural areas. If having three plane rides is not enough, we still had to travel for one hour by car. It was really dark by then, it seems to me that driving towards Biggar is like plunging to an endless abyss.
