Rueben just had a 10 day holiday. Today was the second day he was back to school. Papa came over from Vienna for the holiday. We were supposed to go out for some beach, but due to not all roads being cleared up we decided to just stay at home.

Oma visiting Hillsborough
Oma arrived on Saturday morning, after a good flight from Amsterdam. Of course she was curious to see the construction site of our new house so we took her there on Sunday.

Rueben's new school
Here is a video of Rueben in his new school. It was taken early in the morning on Monday, and it was his fourth day going to school. He did not really felt like playing at the playground, but that was only when the camera was running as soon afterwards he went and played with the other kids.

Rueben's first karate lesson
Second day in our new house
Had a nice saturday in our new house. First Rueben was really excited about his new Karate class. It was a small group of about 8 kids differing in age from 6 till 13 (I guess). It was held outdoor in the multi purpose hall of Jan Jose village. Below are some pictures of it.
Also shot a small Video of the kids playing in the pool.

First day in our new house!
Finally we arrived in our new house in Pacific Malayan village. The first couple of days we spent at Tatay and Nanay's house so Rueben could play with Treb, and Raven with Jersey.
We Arrived in manila on Sunday at 00:20, which was about 45 minutes earlier as anticipated, so we were quite happy. Also the weather had improved, as the day before apparently there was massive flooding in Manila, which would have made our trip from the airport a multi hour affair instead of the 20 minutes it took us today.
On sunday we went to the "biggest toy store in the world" (at least so it seemed to Rueben) to make up for the lack of toy packing ability (4 times 20 KG really does not allow for much toys when you are flying).
Then on Monday we visited the Southville international school, where Rueben made a test, and was straight admitted into the second grade.
Tuesday we went and had a look at the construction of our new house. Really not much to see yet. We briefly looked at the community pool. Rueben was so disappointed that we did not take his swimming clothes (for future reference, the last picture shows his unhappy face).
Wednesday we had a look at Eurocampus as we found out this German/French school had started an English section last year. The school was beautiful with a nicely equipped campus. He would be able to do so much sports here. Unfortunately the commute would take us at least half an hour one-way every day, and this might even be more as the construction of the sky way phase 2 is now in full swing, and only is expected to be finished May 2011. Although the shortest way would not lead us over the skyway, it would make traffic heavier in other parts of the city.
Thursday Tatay took Rueben and Raven swimming in the pool of Lozada, the famous Philippine Olympic swimmer.
And Friday was the day we transferred to Maripaz's house.
