5 Days in Zamboanga

We left Cebu at 1:30 pm on Thursday, June 7, and arrived at around 2:30 in Zambo. I expected something fascinating if arrive there but nothing surprised me. Instead, the matter that surprised me was Zambo's simplicity. Their airport wasn't air-conditioned, the strollers were'nt working and the workers (the people who are supposed to assist the passengers with their carriage) were'nt at all being helpful. Is that simplicity? What do you call it, then?
My dad fetched us immediately together with his men. He arranged a hotel reservation for the family. But before that, we had lunch at KFC. It was about 3pm. And then we went to dad's office. after seeing the place, my mom decided that we'd rather stay there and spend the whole vacation than to waste the money on some fancy hotel. We all agreed.
The next day, we went to Barter, a place were people can buy some of Zambo's delicacies, I don't know if it were but the place sure sucks. Forgive the language.
Zambo has really nothing to show off. Actually, the place that we set foot on has really nothing to show off. It was like Colon Street, only bigger. The whole place was a mess. The streets were tight. There were crowds everywhere you look and motorcycles and tricycles were surrounding the streets. And there were no traffic lights in sight.
The positives are way lesser compared to the negatives.
The church (or fort) was amazing. I've never seen anything like it. I forgot the name because it was so long. I'll ask papy next time. There was this place called the Boulevard. It was a very romantic location. It was beside the sea, full of little benches, and a lot of balots! And probably penoys (hehehe). Isn't that nice?
Hmmm.... have I forgotten anything more? hmmmm....
Anyway...
We left Zambo on Tuesday at around 2:30. I was sick! I had this very stupid stomacache, just perfect timing...
I think I’d also post my vacation in Davao and Bicol…. Hmmmm… That was ages ago… but who cares?
