March 12th

Today we only had clinical rotations from 8-12, so it was a nice short morning for all of us students. The rest of the day was spent shopping at the Greenhill Shopping Center in Metro Manila. We were able to purchase a few souvenirs and enjoyed all of the aromas from the many food stands. We also enjoyed some appetizers on the patio at a restaurant near the mall called Arcana. Shopping was followed by a buffet dinner at a cute restaurant called Guevarra's. Guevarra's is a Filipino themed buffet restaurant. We enjoyed many dishes such as angus beef tapa, bellychon, and dessert of course.

After a long day of learning, shopping and eating we were all tired and immediately crawled into our beds and got some rest for the next busy day ahead :)

Each day we are paired with a different provider, typically medical residents. Everyone has been welcoming (and we even got to see a surprising visitor in the patient rooms- a stray cat running around!).
