Light Christmas Reading: Follow This Blog!

I'll be spending 18 days (including travel time) in the Philippines for the holidays! Follow this blog for photos and hopefully some multimedia peaks into life in Luzon. What's it like for my parents to 'come home' after immigrating to the U.S.? What are the local customs? Why are the Philippine Islands so often overlooked? What makes the country so humble? I'll try to tackle these and much more!
