Anyway, I have to return to normal life unfortunately, at least for a little bit, but hopefully soon I can get back on the road again.
I've got a pile of photos to go through and once I do that i'll post some here that you guys might enjoy.
Thanks for all the advice!

God that is so true and is exactly what I think when I meet new people in my travels as well. Doesn't matter if your someone living in the slums of Cebu or someone who's well off in Los Angeles. We're all human and want/need the same basic things in life.
One of my favourite things in life is travelling to a far away place, experiencing that culture shock and having it set me and my priorities straight when I get back home.
