Why do some people judge others without knowing who "those" guys are? I guess I will be one of "those" guys in the future because I am not happy with the feminist movement in America. Yet, since I am half-way proficient in Han-yu I wonder if I would be judged there if I found a young beauty there. Bu Jrdao? Schway Jrdao? One of those guys?

Especially the moment where you decided to walk from Makati to Manila. hee. Good for you. And the guy trying to sell you 5 American dollars from 1800... made out of aluminum. Manila is not an easy city for sure. It's got it's own charm and spirit, but it takes a while to find that groove .... amid loads of chaos and pollution and traffic and hustle. It's Christina from BnA, btw. Look forward to reading the rest of your trip. Cheers. Oh Lord, I was laughing through your post.

Manila is not an easy city for sure. It’s got it’s own charm and spirit, but it takes a while to find that groove …. amid loads of chaos and pollution and traffic and hustle.

I will admit that most of what I know about the city and its history comes from Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, but it still made me more interested in going there. As for the mail-order thing, you are right, it is everywhere. Back when I was flying all the time around the turn of the century, I shared a seat-row with a woman with a Russian accent and a ring-binder of pictures and bios from http://special-lady.com/.
