Um, it's kinda still 1970s, I guess? Nothing like India, or from what I've heard, Thailand: where we are (south, in the Mekong Delta), there are almost no occidental people. When we walk to school, we get catcalls and hellos and clapping and staring... Also? almost NO tourist shops!! It's really awesome!!! The people are not at all overwhelming like they are in India, swarming around you just to sell stuff or get you a deal. They're just... There, in case you change your mind. And the food! I'm actually the only one who protested when we all went to a pizza place yesterday D: !! I was all "Hey, what about rice, do they serve the pizza with rice?" and the others were just kind of staring at me...
Having sooo much fun!! :)
(did I tell you I had a motorbike accident? *hangs head in shame* )
Yes, it is gorgeous, and the best thing is you never get blasé about it. It's still beautiful to me even though I've seen 1000 rice fields by now, and 20 000 palm trees or sunsets (well, not that last one, but still!)
I wanted to go to the Philippines, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to go with Indonesia instead :( Have you ever been there?

I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE HAPPY THERE, BB!
Looks so fucking gorgeous! Scenery reminds me of the Philippines, of course. Haha. Sounds fun! Except for the bugs. :\
More updates, yay!
