Upon arriving in Kiangan for the Bible dedication, I found out that my name is "U" because several people called out "hey, you" when they saw me. Filipino's often greet foreigners when they see them. To a white guy, they'll say, "Hi, Joe!" To a girl, they might say "Hi, ma'am," "Hi, sister, where are you going?" "Hi, you," or whatever else they happen to say.

  1. Hi Essie, sorry about that "Hey U" greeting. So, what did you think of your trip to Kiangan. I am actually from this town, we are living in Georgia US right now.

    You seem to have interesting experiences going to places, meeting people of different cultures, practices, lot's of tropical fruits. Love your blog.
