I'm in the land of Jesus.
And Mary.
And whores.
And Manilla.
We can talk about the assault of the senses.
But I won't.
For those of you who have ever experienced Jakarta, Manilla won't intimidate you one bit.
For those who have never been to Jakarta, pop a valium.
Manilla isn't Medan.
I'm not sure which city is more psychotic.
I'm not here to psychoanalyse Manila but if I were, I'd say it's like being released from a mental asylum with another thousand Jesus freaks. It has that intensity about it.
Bearing witness to Manila isn't for the squeamish, be warned, the city must be right up there as a magnet for attracting the weirdos, both local and foreign.
Even I'm not sure if I fit into this place.
I'll have to hold my tongue. I won't be too flippant with my remarks.
Because Manila is a knife-wielding gangster with a bruised ego, and caution will be a good friend of mine.
