Visayan Life

Writing again from Tigbauan, Iloilo, Panay, Phil. Its so beautiful down here from the women to the beaches. Its gonna be hard to leave and go back to the cold, constantly raining mountains of Banaue. The culture here is a lot different too. The Spanish influence is much bigger. The food is excellent as well. I have heard from other volunteers in the past that a site assignment in the Cordilleras (where I am) is a much more difficult 2 years than anywhere else in the country. I didint think it would be this different though. The volunteers down here have gym memberships, scuba dive and almost all the guys have local girlfriends (good luck). Its good, in the end, that I have the "rough life" up in the poorest region of the country. Well, this is just a quick blurb, I have to run off to continue mixing cement to make a bio sand filter. I leave for Boracay tomorrow, one of the best beaches in southeast asia. GOnna have a bloody mary under a coconut tree while listening to Jack Johnson. I f@#*in deserve it. Til next time - Adam
