I'm sorry for my offending words

it is a shock at first once you step of the plane , the heat is the first shock, the second is where in she, the third is having to rely on the person who is waiting for you to take care of you till you get your bearings,
After a few days you start to see how things work and you start to relax and try to eat the food that is different to what you are use too, all i wanted was some cabbage and potatoes after a week,
You see we are all similer to each other it takes time to adjust but once you have caught the bug of how great the phils is well you just cant wait to get back, but not all of us

I did get food poison the 2nd day I was there. This really shook me up too, but with the great and loving tender care from Olivia, who nursed me through 3 days of being very ill. I made a good recovery.

Olivia called me in the middle of last night Sun/Mon to tell me that she was in hospital with a terrible bout of food poisoning and here we are 1000's of miles apart and I couldn't do anything to help her? Our phone connections were so bad, I could hardly make out what was being said.
This really choked me up a lot.
Olivia will be flying to the UK next Monday and all I want to do is take good care of her like she did so much for me.
