Like most people during the Chinese New Year celebration, we got the hell outta there. We went to the sunny warm Philippines for the vacation. We flew directly into Cebu City for our trip and stayed on the islands of Cebu, Negros, and tiny Apo. It felt like going back to Latin America rather than Asia. The liveliness of the streets, the kindness of the people, and the raw inefficiency made me pine for South America. The Filipinos were extremely friendly and welcomed us to their luscious country.

| I had heard cock fighting was big in The Philippines. It's not big, it's the only thing some people do. I think the owner loved this one more than his wife. |
