THE DARK SIDE

DRINK DRINK DRINK !!!

No - the danger is dehydration.

Dehydration can cause a stupor - a diminished codition which comes on so slowly it's hard to detect.  In said stupor you are far more likely to commint errors fatal to travelers - like leaving your things (passport, money) and simply walking away from them

PH is a hot, humid place.  You WILL sweat, profusely, at first.  You  MUST replce the fluids...

I'm  back.....  with more 4 real stuff you need to know

I renter a room in Anda, Bohol.  Soon I found a "friend" lived right beneath my air couditioner.  A rooster, that raised living he77, all night long.  So I complained.  Guy said he would take care of it.

Next night - same thing.  So every time that !@#$%^&*( thing crowed, so did I.  I screamed so loud it woke up eveybody.  Owner comes and says he (now get this) told the man that owned the rooster...

The situation continued that way for 5 nights, total.  Almost killed all of us, due to lack of REM sleep. 

Philippinos will:

a)  refuse to accept responsibility

b)  refuse to take action

Count on it.

ASSUME - the little word thaty makes an ass of u and me...

Cebu internatiional airport.  21st century?   

I sat in a cafe waiting for a flip between islands.  I order a hot chocolate...

When it comes itnis so hot - WOW !!  Let's just say that if it had been spilled on a baby that baby would have been horribly scarred, for life.

I'm walking in a mall, looking at applances.  Tbere is a huge holein the floor, caused by the laziness of the people that put the rised section in.  My foot goes into it and I fall - HARD.  (I am 67)

YOU CAN NOT continue to make the assumptions under which you have lived, all your life.  (i.e. that the people aroubnd you have functioning brains and good sense)

You were warned
