All about Dumaguete

In Dumaguete I have plenty of time to think about things, to do a bit of gardening. I have some grapes growing from cuttings that I bought in Cagayan de Oro when I was there a few months ago. Of course, I have quite a bit of green tea which I also got from Jessie in Cagayan de Oro. I notice that the green tea does not care too much for lots of direct sunlight, that the ones that are shaded have such big, green leaves. I suppose that I shall have to place some netting on the ones that are hit by direct sunlight for over 6 hours and all of this in the morning till mid-day.

The man who sold me the grape cuttings claimed that it would only take 8 months for the grapes to start bearing fruit. This I have got to see. It would be nice to have grapes on my back yard giving fruit because I really like grapes. I like tea too, very much and I drink a lot of it everyday. It seems that the Japanese and Chinese owe their longevity to drinking tea every day.

Dumaguete

Everything in Dumaguete is expensive, except probably the people's smiles and their time. One never fails to get a smile from the people of Dumaguete and everyone has the time to help you out with directions. They love to talk. It seems that talking is an expression of hospitality and this openness can be disconcerting at times especially when information is given on something which you absolutely don't care about. There is an explanation for everything except that which you so desperately need.
