The city of Cebu is famous for having the best lechon (rotisserie BBQ’ed pork) in the Philippines, and maybe the world? While stopping to enjoy some traditional lechon, I decided to whip out my camera and printer and make some prints.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, one of the people whose photo was taken got a little too excited and tried pulling the picture out of the printer before it was ready. This caused a paper jam which ended up leading to the demise of my portable photo printer. Did this stop me from getting them their prints? Nope. I went to the local mall, got the remaining photos developed, and came back and dropped them off. They were truly excited to finally get their photos.<\/p>\n

Upon taking the printer to an authorized Canon repair center, they told me it would cost 6000 Philippine Pesos (roughly $140 CAD) to fix it, as it was purchased in Thailand and Canon Philippines doesn’t honor foreign warranties (annoying!). Needless to say $140 is actually more than the unit cost to purchase in the first place. I have just sent it off to a friend in Bangkok and hopefully she will be able to take it to Canon there to have it repaired.<\/p>\n

I’m off to Indonesia tomorrow, so hopefully I will be able to continue with the project by finding photo developers in the various places I visit.<\/p>\n
