We are coming up to the end of our three week trip to the Philippines, and it's hard to believe all that we've achieved. The second week of our training went well, and the students all enjoyed the course. We were treated to a Boodle fight ... Read more >

We woke early-ish as we had (finally) booked the tour of Manila. So off the ship and onto Philippine soil. The tour took us to the “Old Spanish Quarter” where we saw the place where Rizal was kept and executed, and there was a collection ... Read more >

SIARGAOS RURALE FARVANN

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 | By bota | Views [528]

Side om side skuer vi bekymringsløst utover havhorisonten. Vi er definitivt nord for Mikronesia, og blir enige om at det fra vår horisont og utover er fint lite før Hawaii – det er i all sin enkelhet en ganske kompleks tanke. Medvandrer Constantin ... Read more >

Jeg begynner å kjenne den nå. "The Phillipino Routine" som Johnny kaller den. Hvor er jeg fra? Hva er navnet mitt? Hva gjør jeg akkurat her? Er jeg gift? Hvorfor ikke? Hvorfor reiser jeg alene? Hvorfor liker jeg å reise alene? Liker jeg ikke ... Read more >

Ferja ligger til kai ved "fastlandsdelen" av Mindanao, og det er straks klart for avgang over til øya Camiguin. Jeg sitter på øverste dekk og har rigget meg til helt i akterenden der jeg har en hel benk for meg selv. Brått fyker en skikkelse ... Read more >
