"My Philippine Adventures: Hazy, Hot and Humorous" A humorous account of the slightly skewed observations of a man adjusting with utter bewilderment to an alien culture - and loving it. The author has spent more than twenty years living a bi-continental life between the U.S. and the Philippines, looking for laughs in the sometimes absurd experiences of an American up to his ears in the culture of a remote Philippine barrio, far removed from any city - and even farther removed from life as he had known it. Being married to a Filipina was an asset in many ways, but full cultural immersion brought many unexpected, often hilarious surprises. Strange food and indecipherable social rules were only the beginning. Get an inside look at a Philippine Barrio. More than a dozen photographs accompany more than 300 pages of first-hand observations. The author's philosophy says it all: "That which does not kill me makes me laugh."
