A trip to Japan gave me the opportunity to walk in the Philippines. What a treat. Wanting to experience the culture, after arriving Manila I negotiated with a taxi to take me to a smaller beach resort about 100 kilometers outside of Manila in the Cavite City area.

Without unpacking off I went wobbling along the beach for as far as I could walk. A rock breaker and eroding beach. Yet, I still managed my first 10 K in the far our Philippines.
