Happy Valentines Day from the Philippines

Happy Valentines Day to everyone back stateside. We had a great time here in Kalibo. We slept in, I got a pedicure (needed badly due to an ingrown nail) and then we spent the evening at this amazing restaurant near the beach where they catch your dinner in the local river and then cook it up and serve it to you. The fish was amazing! Here are some photos!

Waxing poetic…

Steve watches as considerable amounts of back hair are presented to him one wax strip at a time.

Many of my female friends have told me…come to think of it all my male friends as well, that I have the ugliest back and shoulder hair on the planet. I never gave it much thought. Yeah, it’s unsightly, but I can’t reach my back and I didn’t want to go through the pain and cost of having it done. Fast forward to yesterday.

Kalibo – Halfway Point of Journey

Driving through the province hasn’t been all that different from driving through the urban areas of Manila. Everywhere you go the suffering of people who survive on next to nothing is very apparent. The shanty towns of Manila give way to the shanties in the fields. But the living conditions are the the same… appalling.

Bizarre Foods

The IntelleXual on the Road is in the Philippines! David and Steve are on the journey of a lifetime as David visits his family in the Philippines for the first time in 30 years and Steve takes his first ever trip outside of the confines of the continental US. In this episode the boys try a bunch of Filipino foods they wouldn’t have tried at home!

Island Time

Lost in a sea of gifts for the balikbayan box.

I’m going with my Mom and with one of my closest friends and co-host of my podcasts Steve Schwartz. He’s nearly 50 years old and has never been outside of the U.S. for anything. Between my Mom being unpredictable because of her battle with liver cirrhosis and Steve’s inexperience in traveling internationally this is going to be one interesting trip.
