This Protestant Christian man set up a loud speaker system across from my hotel the Anchor Hotel in General Santo, a very good hotel with AC, Cable and TV for 800 Pesos. They said this man has a permit, it is amazing the noise levels in some countries. I complain about the Islamic Loudspeaker call to prayer, I think all religions are inconsiderate. The really do want to ram it down a persons throat, fortunately I know there are "Things of Man" - The loudspeaker and "Things of God" The idea of love your neighbor as yourself. Would want you neighbor to put up a loud speaker next to window?


View from my window. Note, the Anchor Hotel is excellent, the Delores across the street is suppose to be cheaper I think the location is perfect for General Santos. Parking? I do not know, but for a backpacker without a car, this is great, the cheapest are on Pioneer Street and a great location also. The Tbloi is best with a car, or you take a taxi all the time.


This is tethers or straps for the leg of chicken. It is for the fighting chickens or cockfights I though the number of tethers was amazing. Is there such a demand that they need this many?


Spaps on the leg


I took this in the Public Market of General Santo, I like to walk around "Normal Markets" where they do not sell any souvenirs. Then you can see what is really sold in a country what is the real culture or real present culture.


These are some interesting shape cooling pots in General Santos Philippines Mindanao Island Public Market


A Family business, selling the cockfight chickens


cockfight chickens - Roosters? are all fighters Roosters? (Male)


Interesting. I believe Pomela in Spanish is Grapefruit, this is not a grapefruit, something different I believe yet, I did not eat one either.


I put the Do Not Disturb Sign on my door, and they still come in and cleaned the room. I do want anyone entering my room, it is almost impossible, The reason I stay in very cheap room more than not, is because I want a padlock on my door. Padlocks on Doors


Munche Bar and Restaurant in the Ermita part of Manila, mabye Marbini. Nonetheless, I went and met a couple of friends. I think it is the place all the expats bring their Philippines girls in tow.


Unsavory Types... hehehe or good guys, Saints and Sinner as Steinbeck says.
