Get yourself armed when you get to PI. When I was there last year coming back from Nam, we had an 8hr. lay-over. Decided to go into Manila. The place looked like Nam back in the day. Armed police on every corner; every 7-11 had a security guard rent-a-cop packing a sawed-off shotgun and a .357 Mag. I felt more naked unarmed there than I did in Nam. The place was nastier looking than Nam, too.

Bring us up to speed first chance you get, and BE CAREFUL. It's not just the Commies there. Like the rest of the world, you have to watch out for the, "our religion is based on peace and kindness," Muslims.

Will be looking forward to hearing from you, my friend.
