Clarke

First lesson about the Country is that Clarke airport is not in the suburbs of Manilla, no it is 2.5 hours away.

It is also based in angeles, one of the hubs of sex tourism. I did not know this before I landed so off I trotted to get a ticket to Cebu, at the ticket office about 30mins drive from the airport. THe place had a strange wild west vibe. Ugly, dirty, empty looking. I was the only female westerner and all the guys were either rough as guts commando looking guys about 6 foot 5, built with skulls dripping blood tatooed on their calves, and yep the tupee wearing dull and bat shit sex tourist type.

Mmmm I thought.

I only got the full story when I went to Malapasca island. There used to be a huge US base there, and all were there for the girls and gambling. Aparently in most hotels you have a maximum of 3 guests.
