Salamat Calle. Pero dugang pa ani: matud pa sa akong classmate nga graduate sa Leuven, Belgium, mao nay iyang namatikdan nga ang mga Pinoy (or Asians mostly) - dili tanan but kasagaran - are a sight-seeing culture, the Europeans a reading culture (kusog motagad and willing kung istoryahon, pero kung wa gani ka istorya, will take a pocket book out of their backpack or purse and read). Kita daw, bahalag di kasud sa museum or a library, basta lang naay picture sa maong famous building unya apil tas picture, bastante na, kay naa namay ebidensya nga naka anha na ta anang lugara. Morag mga Hapon hehehe! North Americans are close to the European counterparts, they want to know more about the history of such a place and will love to spend longer and quality time on a particular place while also enjoying the sights and trying out the food that's available. But I also noticed how often they (Americans) complain about the price of souvenirs and food. I guess, because it's a lot cheaper for them when they buy them in their own country, while in other places, they try to compete with the world's standard and so appear to be really expensive. Wrong expectation 'ika nga.

But the irony is , they, too, call themselves, or, are still considered tourists. Travelers, on the other hand, for me, are those who love to go camping, hiking, white water rafting, mountain climbing, motor-biking, cruise, spend weeks or months out-of-town driving their RVs, etc. They don't necessarily read or know in-depth the history of a particular spot they visit but they are really traveling!!! And they hardly call themselves tourists.

i totally agree nga kita mga pinoys kusog kaayo mu-posing bahala og kinahanglan og microscope aron makit-an ta basta kay present gyud ta sa picture og ang scenery/building/etc...will this show nga medyo naay pagka-show-off nato??? angkon ko nga i also do this

His shortness was legendary. When he addressed the UN as the first Asian president of the General Assembly, he had to stand on top of four thick New York telephone directories so that his face could be seen above the rostrum.

There's a classic CPR photo taken from behind while he was addressing a crowd. He was satnding on a cushion or throwpillow.

By the way, ever wonder why some Cabinet members look tall while addressing on a rostrum/podium? Because the platform has been custom-made for you-know-who.

another story about the grand old man went like this:

he was walking in a US park when an American greeted him with "Good morning, monkey!" to which he replied, "Good morning, brother!"

I attended the gathering and I am sure that I belonged to the 3 percent who rated the conference as "Good". Maybe I am deviant because I am part of the minority group. I will just share my experience and I hope of this said "controversy".

I will just highlights the major points raised by some followers of this forum.

1. The working committees especially the registration was was handled by the Board of Directors of the PNHS and not the local convener. There were participants almost 50 participants who did not receive the kit because there were many participants who did not inform the PNHS of their attendance. But the President of PNHS promised to send the kit.

2. The host school was only requested by the PNHS of a venue. The AV Hall looked like a refugee center. I heard that there was a move by the host school to transfer the venue but the PNHS declined. However, I can attest that even on the second day, the AV Hall was still full of eager participants. So it is not true that many participants left on the first day. By the way, the hall was really air-conditioned and its functional. WOW!

3. I can attest that the food served was really a disaster especially on the second day.But Common sense tells me not to blame the host school because the PNHS hired a caterer. Of course I expected much of the snacks. But the " piniritong saging and bingka" were good enough for me. At least may kinain pa di tulad ng iba na kahit lugaw wala.

4. I believed that as History teacher what really matters most were the topics presented. Dami kong na learn. If my colleagues were not satisfied of the food and accommodation, then they should come back and be billeted in expensive hotels so that they will experience the royal treatment. Nkalibre na nga kami ng 2 delicious suppers in Meridian and in Dauis.

5. Finally, this is a learning lesson for any institution that will handle hosting of seminars. Dapat may Memorandum of Agreement talaga para alam ng mga participants kung sino and dapat iblame! I don't agree with some remarks na "kahihiyan ng Bohol" ang nangyari. There are lots of beautiful things that Bohol can offer. They failed to highlight that on the first night at Meridian Hotel, all of us were mesmerized by the angelic voices of the Loboc Children's Choir for free!

Thanks Junjun, for weighing in with your personal experience as a participant.

This furor reminds me that history is really far from being a one-dimensional affair. History is always viewed from a particular perspective--and one event can mean differently depending on where you look at it from. Who was it who said, where you stand on a matter depends on where you sit?

I attended the gathering and I am sure that I belonged to the 3 percent who rated the conference as "Good". Maybe I am deviant because I am part of the minority group. I will just share my experience and I hope of this said "controversy".

I'd say that the auditory feast offered by the LCC was more than compensation enough for the reported gustatory letdown.

Welcome to TB, Bay Jun.
