Welcome to Dasmarinas

I don't have much time to write at the moment and sure more to come later. But let's just say the first day at Dasmarinas, Cavite was filled with marching bands, (somewhat homophobic) singing groups, adoring tweenage girls for Matt, and a torrential downpour out of nowhere. There were also numorous brownouts accompanied by simultaneous screaming. Here are some random pictures.

Sneak peak for next entry (as soon as I have time): The messed up banking system, transportation system, and social welfare system in the Philippines. There' s a strange mixture of trust and paranoia in each of these areas. Furthermore, I hate American Express traveler's checks, they are utterly useless.

travelers checks in general are useless in the philippines, or a pain trying to get your pesos could've told you that, but sayang.
