Oh well, cést la vie :). Plus investigating a foundation in Iloilo City that's only been established a year and raises funds for kids with cancer. I'm going to have a ball, I reckon. So it's probably not practical to link up at this late stage (I leave in the morning for Sydney-Melbourne-Manila) but I'd definitely like to keep in touch once I get back. Thanks again for the comment Joni thanks so much for the offer, it’s truly appreciated.

As you say, the hardest part will be accepting the affection you are offered in good faith. That will take real stength. All the best Ken.

I look forward to reading about your perceptions of the Philippines in a few weeks' time. The Missus has worked there (as a volunteer a few years back) and found the poverty in Manila's slums to be one of the most confronting and saddening things she has seen. I'm sure you'll do a lot of good - and maybe later by sending some cash you'll become a statistical blip, too, adding to that ever-growing global flow of "remittances" from the rich world to the rest.
