Team building event on Cebu

My team at work consists of 6 people: me, Sandeep - an Indian based in Singapore, Tadashi - a Japanese guy based in Kobe, Edgar, Richie and Zandro - 3 Filipino guys sitting here with me in Manila. A pretty diverse group (although no ladies, yet!) and we hadn't been together yet. So on Thursday morning we got in a plane bound for Cebu.

We went to a place called Plantation Bay, a man made resort on the Cebuana sea side. We were driven to our home for the next 3 days: the Penthouse!! Right in the middle of the complex, with a near 360 degrees view of all the pools around us - eeexcellent location! The days were mostly filled with team building stuff and presentations. The evenings we went to Cebu city to enjoy the Cebuana nightlife. Friday we started back in the resort at the pool bar with some beer and with some MEAN sake that Tadashi had brought along from Japan. As the night progressed some of us lost our minds and what followed is now a blurry mix of images of groovy dancing and screaming foreigners on an otherwise relatively quiet terrace.
