Well it seems that some people aren't too keen on me going to the Philippines (hi Mom) seeing that she (the Ppines that is) has been making the news recently for all the wrong reasons - eg. making it on US Civil Aviation Authority's flights to check list joining the ranks of some other dodgy Soviet era airlines, the recent Manila bomb blasts, rebel troops taking a hotel etc... And check out this rather disturbing dossier on the Philippines.
Funny, really, after my near death experiences (i exaggerate) in supposedly "safer" places ie got lost caving (wet, dark, cold, claustrophobic - all the ingredients for a nightmare) in Vang Vieng, getting dead drunk (and lost too for the record) at 4am in Siem Reap, getting severe food poisoning in Pulau Pangkor to the point of dehydration, the Luang Nam Tha experience as i have come to call it (see below post)... Which i hope would be enough to last me for a lifetime. More than enough tales to tell the grandchildren. (assuming i survive till then of course)
