I do not jhave internet in the mountains of Cebu island, so this is fairly rare. I wish that I could see whats available  here in decent electronics, but probably not. Will send photos asap


           Stay thirsty my friends

Nice! Sounds like a cool trip. Quite the getaway! I traveled in Indonesia when I was a young buck. Got to love those exotic women!

my god, they are everywhere. Elvis(yah, I named my dick Elvis),  wants to go on tour, but I tell him no. Maybe looking is good enough,,, ummm wife agrees. Anyway, some good fotos to be had here, no shortage of that. Just wish that I knew my camera better. Saw some bikes at the mall, yesterday. Marin brand, cant take it with me, so oh well. Wishing there was a hi fi place just to look around.

There's a store downtown that can wind audio transformers for cheap.
I've lived in Cebu for about 10 years.

Thanks,  we were in the mountaiins by Argao until now. My wife is from there.  Man, I wish I knew what the specs would be for a transformer. This would be a ripe moment to take advantage of it. You are not living in Cebu  anymore? As you know, the people here are the kindest that I ever have met, whether at work or on the street.
  Will be downloading foftos today.

    Regards,  Greg

We have immigrated to the U.S. in '06 but we still go home every two years to visit family and relatives.
Filipinos are very hospitable too.
I hope you enjoy your stay in Cebu.

   I couldn't agree more. I am surprised more than once with the kindness and respect that is common here. Kind of takes you off guard if you are from an area that is different .  We will be traveling to Manila next week, but I wish that I could stay here instead.

    I have been fooling around trying to get fotos to transfer, etc, but so far, nothing but aggravation. Maybe I will just wait until we return home in a few weeks and do it then.
