I'm not fishing, yet..........asadi

soem say that Manila was the Peal of the Orient but that it never
recoveed fom the effects of the war....that may tuly be the case but
in any event it is ....today...a smog filled, smelly **** hole.

Any vehicle that moves spews smoke...open burning and open sewers add
to the stench.

In a week I am so staved for oxygen I can hardly walk, so I have left.

I'm now on the island of mindanao...here in some little intenet cafe,
dog at my feet.

I'm at a loss for words....
