I wanted to go this year, but never made it. I heard Manila is a bit of a sh*thole that you probably won't want to stay too long. Palawan is suppose to be awesome. Two months away? So you should be getting there around Christmas? Beijing is getting colder now and I am going home in Dec for some warm weather and will be back here in Feb-March or so.

You plan to go there anyways so why not write some bits about it, especially since there's nothing really already. When are you heading to China? Lissie I've asked people about this and it seems like it does, to a certain extent. I haven't looked into it at all but so far from what I've read it seems positive. Cecilia thanks for all the info! Like I said, I haven't had much time to plan but I'll be dropping you an email at some point with some questions, no doubt! Keep at it... if your brain is fried that's how you know you're on the right track! Neale that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

At least you have something to consider in the 3 major islands: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. You might be able to get some ideas from the mindanao.com guy on how to get to Borneo. I even stumbled about a Malaysia blog that was staring back at me...screaming to get started in learning how to customize my theme. I finally took the first baby step and you'll see why I'm ready to tumble. Goodness gracious! I just learned to use the tag and look where it took me. Good night...or is it good morning, again? My brain is already fried. Whiner...or winner? I tried to post some Phil. info links in my blog http://www.zylla3.wordpress.com if you want to check it out for a starter.

I don't know when we can get to experimenting it. Today I started mine - still www.zylla3.wordpress.com - hopefully enough to let you know you won't end up in the gutter if you let me know when you would be there. I'm still here in California, but my sister (just one among the many of my huge family circle) and several empty rooms could surely accommodate you if you want the taste of the polluted city of Metro Manila. We're in Quezon City, an hour or two (depending on traffic) from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). You might want to google Fort Santiago, Intramuros - the Walled City (http://www.tourism.gov.ph/explore_phil/place_details.asp?content=description&province=80).[Here's the Wow Philippines website--www.tourism.gov.ph --if you want to explore more.] If you don't have any respiratory problem and would like to stay longer, you can go further north to Subic Bay, Olongapo (previous U.S. base, with beach area and the only place with stop signs that's being followed just like in the U.S.). Since your target destination is Borneo, you might want to go south to the Visayan Islands, try Boracay (tourist beach spot--my sister went there last summer). This is closer to Cebu where there is another International airport. Happy googling and good luck! Thanks for your suggestion about the blog that my husband started.

Looks like you are allready starting to think & act like a nomad :) I did some research recently on where I would like to study in China, due to the fact I have lived close to the ocean & in warmer climates for twenty years now I dug pretty deep trying to find something in China that would fit the bill. I found a place down south & only a few miles from Vietnam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fangchenggang apparently it is one of the most prominent ports in china & has a thriving tourist business coupled with the fact it has many cncessions from a tax point & is heavily linked in some asian free trade deal it looks like a hoppin place. Unfortunatly I could find little in english about it so It could make for a nice site more so as I bought www.fangchenggang.org which is gettin a few typeins :) Sweet!
