Firsts in my davao trip for the SFC ICON 2010

It's 1:19AM here in Davao. So before I go to sleep tonight (errr, it's already morning), let me share some of my 'firsts' for this trip:

1. Seeing macadamia trees. Yes, the source of the nuts. Seen them first in Eden Park in Davao.
2. Eating yellow durian. I have only tried those with white flesh.
3. Seeing a durian tree. We passed them along the "ways". There were times when their fruits' notorious scent seems to fully fill the air along the roads.
4. "Dinuguan" as sauce for barbecued pork. It turned out okay. :)
5. Basking in the "Indiana Jones" rides. Still in Eden Park. I find it hard to describe this ride. Please wait for the pics. :)
6. The Philippine Eagle. With friends, I have been inside the Philippine Eagle Foundation area. And yes, I have seen and taken pictures of Pag-asa and her mother.
6. Touching and holding a fully grown python. Yep, I finally conquered this fear.
7. Late for my inbound flight. I was late for 10 minutes. I have to buy the ticket for the next day (Cebu-Pacific maintains a dubious 'no refund' policy). And so, my planned 4-day stay was cut short by a day. (Well, charged it experience (read: credit card).

Those are just a few of the many firsts... Will update more in the coming days after I have the pics developed... :)
