Here are some random thoughts of what I’ve been up to here in Mindanao, Philippines.

I continue to take Bisaya lessons from my teacher Bebe. I am now up to lesson nine. Their are a total of sixty lessons and I plan to continue my lessons online after I get home from the Philippines. My vocabulary words number about 160. The last lesson was on changing the time of the given verb, such as past, present and future. Miadto or Niadto is I went or I am going. Moadto means I will go. More details coming.

This week, I’ll be going to an island called Samal where there is a large bat cave. The cave has over 1.8 million bats. I’ll report on this next week. I also had a chance to have tasted a very different kind of coffee. This coffee has passed through the digestive system of the Asian Palm Civet. Details later. I’m still trying to identify some of the local flowers but not having much luck. Not many books at the local library. I’ll just post some pictures another time. Have read some interesting articles on how the universe may be electrified, and how this helps explain the observable universe.

I’ve got the internet here, but it’s at an internet cafe and other people around. Too many distractions, so I’ll just make small posts. Till next time…
