The journey from Hanoi to Cebu, Philippines was a grueling one. We lost our wallet about two hours before having to get our flight which added an interesting and intense challenge to the day.

Hi there. Glad you enjoyed the islands. I was wondering about your comment on the "Gary Glitter" types. I should preface this by saying that I am an American who lived for a year in Cebu with my wife. We are both young people (late 20s-early 30s). I think it is unfair to say that Americans are the majority of "Glitter" types. I found that most of those types hail from various European countries, Germany topping the list. Anyhow, I am glad you made it to the Philippines and are spreading the word about how great it is. Hopefully more non- "Gary Glitter" types will take a look.

Hi John... thanks for reading my blog! I wasn't under the impression that anyone other than my friends and family were interested. Massive apologies if I caused you any offence! The last thing I'd want to do is create bad feeling in those who have chosen to live out there. I'll have a re-read and revise. We did indeed love it there! We've decided to head back after Malaysia. Take care, John
