still flying

i am on the island of panay. we flew in yesterday to the city of kilebo --it has a 1 room airport, it was so neat. we are staying at Aklan State University for 2 more days, then we meet and move in with our host families. the university put on a dinner and show for us. They roasted a whole pig, the skin and the fat are supposed to be the best parts, so that is what they gave us -- of course i didn't eat it, still holding out for as long as i can. i was served a whole fish, it was the scarriest thing i have ever seen. they eat the heads here, so of course i was expected to too-- thankfully the guys sitting next to me were braver than i and ate it for me. food is definately going to be the hardest thing for me. they put on a show of drums and dancing, the dancers were boys dressed in tribal gear -- and had deer heads for hats -- we danced as well. more fun stuff to come.
