It was late by this time, and we went back to Eddies. We had a beer in the bar, and then Rick went to bed, and I went to the Lone Star. There were only three girls in there, one of which was Janie. She told me everyone else had been barfined. I asked her how it came to be that the prettiest girl in the place had not been barfined. She said she had been asked but refused because she thought I would be in. I asked her if she would like to get together on saturday and do something, and she assured me she would love to.
The owner, an Australian, was feeling rather drunk and obnoxious, and talking with another Australian. He brought me into their argument. The other Aussie had never heard of the Tarsier monkeys, and the girl that was with him said she was from Bohol, and there were NO MONKEYS on Bohol. I straightened that out in a hurry by showing them the pictures I had taken the day before. The owner was very down on the girl for being stupid, and wouldn't let it rest. He kept hounding her about how stupid she was. I almost felt sorry for her because he wouldn't quit.
Friday morning after coffee Rick and I took a jeepney down to Carbon market. This was Rick's first jeepney ride. I kept asking him, "How can someone be in the Philippines 5 times and never have ridden a jeepney?" I kept threatening to get him on a tricycle, but it never came to be.
Our supplier had no good news for us. She told us she couldn't get any samples of our new improved product, and that she needed a 50% deposit for an order of 1000. I told her she should have told us this a week ago when we first started talking about this. I told her we wanted to take back as many pieces as we could on the plane, and that I was leaving on monday. I also told her that we would not leave a 50% deposit until we saw our product was being made the way we wanted, not the poor quality that we had gotten already. Until we see they are being made correctly, no deposit. She said she would have 50 pieces for us on sunday.
