Many people arrived at Phil-ace on Wednesday, because the fee for pick-up is cheap on that day.
If you reach on Wednesday, the official schedule is started from Thursday.
On Thursday, at first, the manager would introduce about the Phil-ace
and say the things both can do and can not do.
Then, you may take the exam for dividing the level.
The listening test is similar to the TOEIC test
but the reading test is unique and some questions are not easy.
The speaking test is progressed with American teacher
and the questions he ask are so simple that you may feel comfortable.
After test, you will go to the downtown near the academy
and it may take about 10 minutes to go there by both tri-cycle and Zeepney.
Tri-cycle is not comfortable and it emits many pollutants,
but there is no other means to go out. After going to the big road by tri-cycle,
you will take Zeepney or bus, and you can arrive downtown by it.
In the downtown, the manager help exchange the money to Peso and go to Starbucks.
The Starbucks is located near the lake Daal and the price for both white chocolate mocha! coffee (tall size)
and green tea latte (tall size) are 125 peso.
It is about the half-price compared to the price in Korea.
The atmosphere in Starbucks is not bad, but the seats are uncomfortable.
The lake Daal is very big and I think the camera would be useful in there.
