    Whilewaiting for my visa which required IV/i weeks to receive approval from Bangkok), I be

    came

    a tourist. Among the

    places

    I visited was Banaue where

    there

    are

    tl eifamous

    Ifugao Rice

    Terraces and where they perform tribal dances.

    I visited the island of Corregidor, at the entrance to Manila harbor, which older readers of the

    ROW will

    remember

    from the early days

    of

    Wor ld War II . My f atlier speni

    give
