So it started!

As soon as I announced to the world (overall joyful) news – but, I was going to cycle Asia and that I go the Philippines first – negative info immediately began to come. That what I do, that it is the third world, that the cocks will peck me to death.. (but from what I know they do not fight with tourists only one against the other) but, it's no point to show in Manila without a gun..

Well, my eyes turned round. I have read all available information about this country and little information about exploring it by bike – they were generally flattering and optimistic.

Did some more investigation and. It turned out, that the most sinister perspective was made by, a foreigner that has been working in Manila some time already but all the time stays in his hotel leaving just to work.. and did not appear in the coutryside even once . Well yes…. Alex after reading a few pages, I have sent him he stated that , he is losing too much and absolutely has to see more than the capital of the Philippines, which is – actually- somewhat connected opinion.

But what will happen remains to be seen. I remain optimistic and have a healthy curiosity, but on the other hand, I'm not going to put myself at risk – I don't like big cities anyway, so I'm going to evacuate to the provinces earlier than the law stipulates.
