Manila : Home of Forts, Hobbits and Nuts

Me, making reservations for a dinner cruise on Manila Bay: "Hi, there will be 8 of us and I will be needing a vegetarian meal." Manila Cruise People: "Do you eat pork?" Me: "No, I am a vegetarian?" MCP: "Do you eat fish?" Me: "No. I am completely vegetarian.  No meat, no chicken, no pork and no fish" MCP: (pause) "We checked and it is ok if you bring your own food." Me: "Do I still need to pay the full price for the dinner cruise?" MCP: "Yes" Me: "Then could you please just add extra vegetarian sides? Maybe a cheese sandwich?" MCP: "Um, ok"
