Rest and relaxation in Cebu!

After a busy first week, our team decided to de-stress and bond by having a free day.  We allowed ourselves to sleep late into the morning, which we needed after enjoying an adventure-filled evening at  the club Voodoo the night before.  As soon as we met up, we headed to a mall that is famous for its cheap deals and knock-off brands.  It was a bit like the Namdaemun market in Korea--including the bit about negotiating prices--so we all got some practice bartering.  Among the fifteen of us, we bought everything from sunglasses (Raymans instead of Raybans...), Thom shoes, and dresses--mostly for ten dollars or less!  It was a great day for shopping.

In the afternoon, we split up into two groups and got massages at different spas in the city.  Most of us got full-body massages, but a few of us just got royal foot treatments and other interesting surprises.  We then ate a makeshift dinner at Robinson's--the nearby supermarket that is quickly becoming our go-to place for almost all of our needs--and headed back to the hotel.  We did a bit of subcommittee work afterwards and got prepared for our awesome day tomorrow!! 

Apologies for the lack of pictures... coming soon!
