 ISM is just a few hundred yards from MARKET MARKET

 

On 7july is the other 4th of july event being held at the NOMANDS SPORTS CLUB

 if your a member of the forum and would like to meet other expats this would be a good event to come and meet. at the NOMANDS sports club a few British may be in attendance as its their "club facility"

the saturday event was really nice, had many activities for children compared to the past,

A 7-9 minute fireworks display was the best I have seen in a long time,

maybe next year more members can attend,its more for the family than singles but fun for all is there.

 I will update the NOMANDS experience on monday

Happy 2nd of July! I believe John Adams wanted Independence Day celebrated on the 2nd, which is the date the declaration was signed. The printer placed 4th of July as the date on the document. So the celebration is on the 4th. 

 

The 4th of July was also Independence Day for the Philippines because that was the date with the American flag was lowered and replaced with the Philippine flag at Luneta Park in 1945. Some nationalist group later had it changed to 12th of June.
