Quotes from our contributing authors

"The next morning came with a gloomy sky unlike those of typical Philippine days. My dog acted strangely as he sensed something wrong. Something unexpected was indeed going to happen..."

- David Eric Poarch

 

"A leisurely stroll, surrounded by children and monkeys, led us to Angkor Thom, a 12th century Khmer city. Intricate bas-reliefs whispered tales of the civilization's origins while stone figures of gods, demons, serpents and asparas menaced from walls, moats and causeways."

- Betsy Campo

 

"He stops to smoke a cigarette and offer us Jasmine tea. When I look up again, he is out in the yard burning brightly colored paper money and clothes - offerings to his ancestors. I watch the flames eat up the gold painted paper, ashes flying overhead."

- Alice Driver
