Good to see your trip went well.

Thanks Matt. and yes Adler trip went very well thanks. only encountered a small problem we had to fly from Cebu to Davao in Mindanao in a A320 Airbus to Singapore. Encounted rough weather from Cebu to Davao and to Singapore. Never so glad to get of an aeroplane in all my life. especially when my wife informed me just as we were landing at Davao that Abya Sayaff sometimes shoots at civilian aircraft near Davao. I looked at her and said thank you for telling me this at this late stage of landing. After we finally left Davao and we were some 1 hour out of Singapore Airspace the A320 hit this air pocket and slewed the whole aircraft to starboard . I was glad we finally landed at Changi vowing never to fly via Davao ever again hahaha. We boarded a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 to Brisbane and had no further problems at all. but we had a fantastic time in Cebu any way and got heaps of duty free at Changi Airport and in Cebu itself. Going back to Cebu in May this year for further family business and thinking of investing in some property in Cebu via my wife being a Filippina.

No Matt. I think many Filippinos don't even know what the word Malice means let alone be Malicious to any one. I maybe wrong of course but most Filippinos i came across were gracious and thoughtful and utterly kind and gracious hosts but then again i maybe biased as my loving wife is a Filippina. the only niave part of the Filippino is their idea of geography. When they ask you where we came from and the reply was Australia. they would ask don't you find it unbearable this tropical heat as you don't get this type of weather in Austria. When you explain Austria is in Europe etc but we are from AUSTRALIA not Austria they the Filippinos ask you is it Sydney you are from etc or Melbourne as they have cousins living in either city and still they think the weather is too much for you in the Philippines. one has to explain to them about droughts bushfires and extreme weather of our own etc. finally they get the clue hahaha

You know what Matt. I reckon you are a bit of a wag. Which is pure Aussie for some one who enjoys a joke and life at full tilt. correct me if i am wrong about you. by the way its meant as a compliment you being a wag

ive met some Filippinos too and they seemed quite nice but i guess every country has its fair share of good ppl and bad ppl as well. As for "AUSTRALIA not Austria" its quite funny because of the extreme differences in climate but i guess they do sound similar dont they?
