Off Topic: Pope Visits Philippines

I was in Manila for a business meeting and I witnessed the overwhelming welcome of the Filipinos for Pope Francis who just had his 5-day visit to the Philippines. Thousands cheered and took photos of the pontiff as he traversed the streets of Manila inside his pope mobile. I was staying in a hotel across the main boulevard and I can see from my balcony the whole street full of people carrying flags and chanting for the Pope. I was able to witness how a country like Philippines who’s battered with disasters and beleaguered with poverty and corruption can still come as one to cheer for Pope Francis. Truly an unforgettable experience for me just saying :)

He didn't use the popemobile. He and the Philippine head of state both rode open air.

I'm in Makati City now.
Any vehicle used by the Pope is referred to as "popemobile" that is what I know ever since. Anyways, the president (Aquino) did not ride with the Pope along the streets "ever" at all and that I am sure of.

Yeah man and they are throwing themselves at me even more than the women in the Dominican Republic did. It's like shooting fish in a barrel, just watch out for the ladyboys.
Did you barter for their company using government cheese?

I heard ladyboys were good for aphid infestations.

No, I'm having my fun with an Israeli chick who is here diving with me in Sabang. I really appreciate your hatred though, thanks.

Inb4 this post is compared to rape.

Israeli Chick - Hi there, so what do you do for a living?

Abandon Conflict - Uh, well, I, ah work for a major corporation, I'm in uh cheese redistribution, hey would you like to go for a swim in my pool? I don't like to talk about it, but my family owns this string of motels here.

You're basically in love with me. It's OK, I thrive on your sentiment. Just admit, you love me. That's why you follow me from thread to thread changing the subject to my Veteran's disability benefits. Too bad you have nothing better to do.

Inb4 the civil rights movement gets compared to rape.
