Manilahh!

Wow! I'm here! I'm not quite sure what to think. I'm just trying to take it easy and once again, adjust to culture shock.

Manila is reminding me of what I picture a "spanish harlem" to look like. Colorful, lots of people, cars, jeepneys, dirtyness all mixed in together with KFC's, McDonald's and of course 7-11's.

Being here makes me once again feel like a wealthy westerner. I've been the only non-fillipino person at the bus station all day.

The people are absolutely beautiful! Beautiful skin, hair, smiles. . .hard working people.

It's 90 degrees here today and I am loving the heat and sunshine. Taiwan has been cold, damp and gray....only a couple more hours and I will be headed to my first destination, Banaue.

Stay tuned....
