The school that I'm working for was supposed to have this student from Spain. He flew all the way from his home country only to say Cebu is dirty as it rained last weekend when he arrived. He left Cebu as soon as he got here. Wow! I know Cebu ...
My second day of living in Cebu I titled "What the heck were you thinking moving here". I think the culture shock hits most everybody at some time so you just have to wait it out. I felt like flying home with my tail tucked between my legs ... Read More
