I took a day off from work and went 'exploring' with LB. Originally, we were going to visit a museum but completely out of the blue, LB asked if I wanted to go to Pampanga. Course, I said yes even though I only had the vaguest idea how to get there.
Luckily, we were in the Doroteo Jose area when that question came up, and so we visited the bus terminals to inquire about trips to SM San Fernando. LB wanted to visit the SM there because it's supposed to be at par with SM Megamall in terms of area. It's also one of the more familiar terminals in the province. So off we went.
The bus was clean and airconditioned, with TV on board. There were only a few passengers when we left Manila. The bus picked up more people along the way to NLEX.
Fare: 102 pesos. 
We arrived at 1:30 pm, around two hours travel. Anticipating that we will arrive well after lunchtime, we bought a few munchies from the numerous sidewalk vendors in the terminal area. Chips, water, soda. LB and I shared a big steamed corn. 
Finally, we arrived at SM San Fernando. True, it was big and spacious. The layout is much like the newly renovated SMs. Fully airconditioned. The only weird thing is that there is only one escalator and that is to the left side if the building.
I only took random shots.

Because we need a break from the heat, I got a Speculoos with A Twix. Details on my other blog!
Free WiFi! I was easily able to connect and the signal was strong except for when I was in the Cyberzone area.

We watched the latest X-Men movie. The cinema was fine but due to a technical glitch, they asked us to leave our E-Plus tap cards with them and claim them once we got out.
We also crossed the street to see the Robinson's mall there, but it was like a big tiyangge. SM has by far the more modern feel.
A souvenir from the trip: Kinder chocolate bought from the nearest 7-11 store.
