At the World Pork Expo


American Time! Too good to be true…. Hahahahaha… our “sundo” Leroi was definitely on time!!! We had our first “American Breakfast” at the hotel & good thing maybe because of pure excitement we were up early to prepare for the expo!
Weather is hot, but the air is cool, they say its almost spring na…The xpo is just like the convention/exhibit here… but the booth giveaways are cool!(kze states side hahahah)… we met up with few Filipino delegates din, my brods & batchmates of Linda (Dr. Boyet Manalo & Dr. Eski Esquivel), we saw several owners of big farms here also…. We religiously visited all booths & took pictures for remembrance…
We spent time at the Akey booth to meet up some of their staffs which are all accommodating…One of the most memorable thing at the expo was the over flowing, free sumptuous food… (food spells: steaks, barbeque, ribs, chips, spam, sodas…)… u can just sit at the shaded tables and u can grab all food u want for free, I enjoyed the free spam!!!! Grabe d ka magugutom, u can even wrap food and no one will even care…Second memorable thing is that the expo shells 20 dollars for international delegates for buying expo souvenirs… I bought, a wooden piggy “alkansya”, stuffed toy, piggy erasers… cute stuffs as souvenirs… We attended technical sessions…I also like the Internet station there, sponsored by Boeringher. We met up with Chris & Krystie Mateo, my college good friends… days before our trip, I emailed Chris that I”ll be attending the expo & because of that he decided to take Krystie & kids with him…we had lunch with them at the expo park & spent the afternoon chikahan… almost 8 years ba naman of updating!!! This was on the second day na…We had dinner with the Mateo at APPLEBEES…

On the third day, we attended live animal bidding… and piglet race… ate mouth watering ice cream kasi that day is mainit… we just bum around kasi sawa na kami sa exhibit venue, we explored the whole grounds and kodakan!!! Third day is the main day… in short, world pork expo is worth an experience, good thing the weather is good!!!
