The PBA-- March 14, 2016

If the PBA reminds you of the NBA than you guessed right, it is the national Filipino basketball league. They loooove basketball here. But the PBA is so far from the NBA.Saturday night we decided to check it out for our selves and paid 120 pesos to get into a game. That is like $2.50. Inside the seats kind of look like airport seats but in every color. We heard we were in one of the crappier stadiums though. They teams aren't based off region but just sponsors so most the games are around Manila. It is pretty sloppy basketball. It was fun though. And experience.  They foul a ton. We didn't last the whole game. We made our way to the MOA and the boys found a casino in hotel on our way. The played a couple dollars worth of roulette and made me place one of their chips. My first time gambling. Luckily Sundayy came fast so I could repent ;) That is one thing I will never be tempted to do! The MOA treated us well with subway and am ice cream sandwich. Of course it was packed as ever. And we had a race home. Taxi vs. buses and public transport. I opted for the taxi and got very car sick on the way home. Next week I have a 6 hour bus ride through the mountains to get to a place called El Nido so wish me luck.
