Stefan,
I used to watch hockey and was a big fan of the N.Y. Islanders. A bar, near my house, that I used to go to would get some of the players after a game and when I was in California my mom told me about all the cars driving through the streets honking the night the Islanders won the Stanley Cup.

Well, I think my city is really something special, when it comes to the sport of icehockey:-) Have a look at this. For a town of 55 000, people are coming from all over the world to try and find the secret.

Stefan,
As I have found and probably you too, most Filipinos are very friendly and hospitable.
It is interesting how some locations are know for “So-in-so was born here”

Laagan,
I was joking about a gift. It is nice though how Filipinos bring gifts. I hope you do come visit Davao and we can meet. Where are you living/located currently?

So nice to meet friends from the net like that. Gensan is a laid back and nice place. I like the people there a lot. I have been there twice now. January 2008 and December 2008. I am just a bit careful when I am going around there cause there are explosions sometimes. But I am not scared of such things. About Pacman: I saw posters all over the town with him and I can understand and relate to how proud the locals are because of him. The town I was born and lived for 31 years in we have a lot of hockey players who made it in NHL(US), the biggest hockey league in the world. The most famous guy of them all is Peter Forsberg who lived near us and was in my sisters class. It was(still is) like the whole city lived up cause of his fame, even the whole country!
