Mabuhay from the Philippines
After a few delays at the airport, I finally made it the country of over 7,100 islands. The 16 hour flight was direct but we had to make an hour stop in Guam for fuel. The strangest aspect of the whole flight was the fact that I didn't see the sun for what felt like an entire day. However, the in-flight service was very nice and they fed me traditional Philippine meals, snacks and drinks.
The Philippines has been very interesting and I'm still getting used to 90% or more humidity. After waiting at the Airport in Lima for my 4-hour delayed flight, I had a connecting flight down south to the city of Davao. Here there isn't much tourism but the friendly people and fresh fish make up for it. Next to Davao is an island called Samal that boast nice beaches and beautiful scenery, something I will check out later this week.
Lately I have been dodging mosquitoes and trying to find a decent piece of chocolate, which has proven much harder than I originally thought. Here in the Philippines, there is a lot that reminds of Mexico, whether it be the crazy traffic, street vendors, or sari-sari stores which are basically a scaled down Circle-K.

There's so much more to tell, but I'm out of computer time so until next time....ciao.
