My first experience with direct corruption

Submitted by Kyle on

Yesterday afternoon, while going to the mall which is only a 6-7 minute ride by motorcycle, I was pulled over by a police traffic enforcer at a u-turn area. Ironically, last time I went to this mall, I had turned 3 blocks earlier in a "no u-turn" area, and if I would have done that again (broken the law), I wouldn't have been pulled over at all.

La Mesa Ecopark

Today, I went to La Mesa Ecopark. It it beautiful, and--as far as I know--it is the only place within an hour of here where one can go and be surrounded by nature, without a concrete building or road in sight. Plus, I'm lucky enough to live only a 10 minute walk away. I'll definitely go back with my camera and take some pictures to upload here.

Goodbye USA

4 days and 22 hours until I am on a plane to the Philippines. 23 hours of travel time later, I will arrive in Manila. Assuming no departures from the flights as they are currently scheduled, I will arrive in Manila at 23:15 on May 26, 2011. This will be the beginning of my lifestyle makeover--a life with no borders.

I'm going to live my life in way that is radically different than most people believe is possible.

Wish me luck.
