Hello from Manila Philippines, 

Got a room in the Manila Holiday In for $88, but quickly grew tired of all the sex workers and very expensive hotel restaurant. As soon as my business contacts meetings ended I began looking for something more pleasant to do and learned of a delightful resort town in the middle of the island to the north. The only problem is that a group of armed gorillas operate in the area through which the road goes and occasionally attack public buses. So, I arranged a flight up to Bagiho where there are supposed to be interesting terrace farming site to see.

From my journal notes. 7/23/2012

Peace
