"Pedring" in Manila

Don't worry, I'm safe in Metro Manila. I didn't know that when I fly to Manila yesterday, it was also the day when the typhoon "Pedring" has flooded some parts of the capital and there were electricity cuts. When I arrived at the airport, there were electricity cuts during the time I was collecting my baggage. Lucky after a while, the electricity was back.

It was raining the whole day and many shops & restaurant were closed. Most of the staff were told to go home early. Lucky the hotel I stayed in was okay and there were no problems with the electricity at all. Unfortunately, the Sofitel Pasay City was flooded and the people had to evacuate.

I'm safe, no worries and flying back today!
