The Manila MTC

 I made it to the MTC in Manila.  Everything has been good so far.  I am super tired though.  We will be going to bed at 7:00 tonight so I am excited for that.  We had lunch and that was a little different.  A lot of the food tasted strange but we had rice so there was one thing that I was familiar with.  About three weeks ago when the other missionaries got here they had fish head soup so I guess I got lucky.   

     I didn't get any pictures in Hong Kong because we only had a one hour layover and with how long it took to get off the plane we were in a huge hurry.  We got onto the plane with ten minutes to spare.  It was really exciting.  After landing in Manila we took a bus to the MTC.  The driving here is crazy.  It is hard to describe.  People drive so close to each other and there seems to be almost no rules on lane changes and right of way.  I don't know how they don't get in accidents all the time.  Here there are the tallest skyscrapers I have ever seen and there are a lot of them in certain areas.  I am not sure what to think of this place yet.  

     I will be in the MTC for five days and then will go out and into the world.  I am really excited for that.  Sorry I don't have pictures now but I will next week.
