Fulbright Hays Scholars Fly To Manila, Philippines, June 19, 2015, Chicago

O'Hare, Chicago, Saturday morning to Manila, Philippines,, Sunday night. Problems popped up in the two days with answers for each. One scholar had to continue trip a day later due to allergy conflict. All of our checked baggage did not make it to Manila. But we move forward with great team enthusiasm trusting Sue and Rhoda and our PNU hosts to assist in the challenges. Indeed each was resolved.

Pearl Manila Hotel is home for first five nights. The hotel is very close to Philippines Normal University, PNU. We are near Philippine Bay and the U.S. Embassy. Walking alone on streets is not suggested. Metro Manila is a city of 22 million, many very poor, on the street living and on the street sleeping at night. 

I prepare for tomorrow's program and the week's schedule.
