Sworn to the uniform

So I was reading up on The Phillipines' past and stumbled upon a story about a Japanese soldier who hid out in the Phillipine jungles for 30 years after the end of WWII refusing to believe the war had actually ended. The story is really bizarre and certainly illustrates the loyalty and devotion to duty a lot of Japanese people display. Read more here:

I think I might pick up a couple of essential Filipino books:

Noli Me Tangere

El Filibusterismo

I'm hungry. I'm going whitewater rafting this weekend. Yay!
