I guess Davaoeños really love durian.

Marq (my dreamboy) and I were in Davao City, Mindanao from May 28 to May 31. We flew via Cebu Pacific Air and his relatives at Nenita Farms graciously received us. We also got to enjoy Pearl Farm for a day for free! This picture was taken from Davao Medical Doctors Hospital. Visiting this hospital was the main purpose of our travel; Marq was contemplating on having his Anesthesiology residency here. The hospital was relatively new, expanding, Überclean and ISO-XXXXX certified. Coming from PGH, it was refreshing to see a decongested hospital. The only drawback was that it was, well, small. Each ward has a bed capacity of approximately 30.

We appreciate different things sometimes.

He liked eating durian. 'It's an aphrodisiac,' he says. Well, I thought it was eeky. But I finished a serving and tried to develop a taste for it. Maybe I'd eventually appreciate it if we stayed longer in Davao.

We both loved our Davao-extended-weekend-getaway. Maybe we'd be back there some other time...
