Philippinen: "Same Same" - aber in deutsch

Wenn kalte Regentropfen Dir in der warmen Nacht Abkühlung schaffen, die betäubende Karaokemusik den Strand beschallt, das Leitungswasser nach unglaublich alten faulen Eiern riecht und Dein Magen noch immer das Schnitzel verdaut.... dann bist Du auf den Philippinen. Nun muss ich wohl doch zuerst von meiner 1-wöchigen Auszeit vom...

Yo-de-ley-e-ooooh Up the mountain we go!
November 22, 2007 - Bataan, Philippines
We climbed the mountain yet again… trekking our way through the slick mud and rocks to Auntie Darlene’s house for the house blessing.

Dad and I went from person to person, family to...
