... it was 'traveling' our country, it poured down so much rain fall- climate change, I must stay that dams had to be opened to release excess water, to prevent further calamities. So the farms and plantations in these places were ruined, houses were flooded up to 8feet high for days, weeks! Terrible, horrifying, unimaginable.

Nous etions quand meme mieux prepare et moin enerve alors on pouvait suivre un peu plus. Notre cadeau fu la sixieme plonge. Un gros male de 17 metres, qui nous a fait faire une balade de 36 min. On l'a suivie et il nous aimait bien je crois. On a meme cru qu'il ralentissait pour nous attendre!!! On a un peu panique quand il a fonce droit sur ...

... Must have been at least 5 knots. At one point we were hooked onto the sea bed and you could feel the current tug at your regulator it was that strong. So it's snorkeling tomorrow where we will have more of a chance of seeing whale sharks. The snorkling trip was a total success! We seen ...

... Shopping malls are amazing places. Multiple songs and flashing lights assault the senses, dodging people while trying to chose one of many westernish food joints can make one forget that a smoking volcano is only a a few miles away. I could have been on the other side of the pacific in Los Angeles. The music comes from around there. One can also find Dunkin' Donuts, McDonald's, etc, there. The movies in the theatre come from around there. As do the ...

Greeting's to all! I spent the last four days in Ifugao Province in the Municipality of Asipulo. Dustin, a fellow PCV invited me to facilitate a Grant Writing Workshop for his community and spend some time at the newly dedicated Julia Campbell Agri-Forest Memorial Park (JCAM Park). Dustin's counterpart, Gerald, is an extremely active and motivated Filipino. Gerald is the President and founder of the NGO, Indigenous Farmers for Sustainable Agriculture INC, and when he heard of ...

... are well preserved. While the caves guides need a bit more training as far as communicating with their guest, the caves of Tublay have the potential to be a wonderful eco-tourism attraction. I was also very pleased to see that since the environmental education seminar I conducted in October, the community has placed trash bins all throughout their community and along the road leading to the caves. I am not sure if this was at all inspired by the workshop, but I was ...

After Mass we went around from house to house and ate more food and enjoyed each other's company. In fact similar to home the holiday's here seem to be surrounded by food, food and more food. Needless to say I have been well ...

... one on one instruction. There are very few similarities between Ilocano and Ibaloi so it was difficult to get my brain to think in the new language as opposed to Ilocano. I decided I will start speaking a combination of both, so Ibakano!! The best part about the week was being near the beach, nice to have a change of scenery and get some sand time in. Each day after we finished our language classes we headed to the beach and enjoyed playing in the huge ...
