I arrived in Cagayan de Oro City (CdO) on September 20, 2005.
I had done some research but little did I know my life would change drastically. I was well aware that general Filipino population did not life as well as the average American but like most people from countries like the USA we do not realize how different life will be. I have acclimated fairly well to life here and plan to stay for a considerable time.
During the next weeks I will continue these entries and give information that is not easily found online. Maybe it will help others in the future.
