See it in today's THANK YOU MARILYN KING & ZHANG PIAO : THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES........ All about my death defying grandiose adventure getting from the orphanage where I volunteer to home at Expat Estates. A nearly 4 hour journey on a public buses thru the Manila slums . At several points thought I was going to be raped/murdered .Was actually hit , groped, spit on , had a crowds of detractors insulting me , a bunch of teen age assholes chasing me to do something nasty .Were all those nasty people the Manila branch of the R sub group back at the Garden of Eden ? Somehow, someway this hillbilly made it home alive I could be all triumphant , talk macho because of surviving my dangerous journey .Tough guy talk is not my style & am more happy to be alive & unhurt .Now thinking about better ways I could do things if ever in the same situation .

I feel lucky to be alive.
The whole experience is going to go down in my annals as a free lance sociologist here.

Some PTSD , feel a little off & insomnia that often hits when I'm stressed .
Still feel lucky to be alive and now figuring a way NOT to ever again be lost in hostile country .

Living with the new lesson to not be so confident about being in rough areas.
