He looks like an American Cowboy in the Philippines. Many of you have wanted and update on Craig. It took Craig a month, then then adapting really started. Live is different here. All the things you were used to in the USA you might not find here. The big, HOWEVER, is; everything you NEED you can find here. "Life is Good" has turned into Craig's motto also. He is like a big kid full of giant grins. He has a Filipino drivers license AND motorcycle. All that is missing is " Life is Good" painted on the gas tank. He is still working on his apartment. We are waiting for a "welcome to Craig's video soon as it is completed. I am thinking it may be a bit further off now he has his toy. The motorcycle will bring a lot of the Philippines into easy grasp. A combination of low cost easy transportation and the low cost of overnight accommodations will make his travels a lot of fun. He just needs to learn how to say, " Low cost lodging ", in Tagalog. Craig had a few bumps in his first month and I am sure he is the first to admit, when I said beware of the Red Horse" it was no joke. If you are accustomed to having three or four beers in the evening, change your habit here. Three or four of these Red Horse beers can put you in the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits. Who knows for sure where, but not on earth. Probably one of the most important things to note is life is so good, why drink? Craig has quit. I have quit. Maybe my quitting also will support him.
