American influence?

Spotted on an A/C in Jollibee at Daraga, I suppose the USA influence they have here resulted in putting F on the temperature notice but I don't think people who are not American have any idea what a F is anymore, so they appear to set it at 18 C, which is still way too cold, though it was much warmer in Jollibee.
At home I set the A/C to 28.

In the words of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.

I've been guilty of saying "come again" every time I hear thank you, maybe this is why they laugh.

Great teeth.

On a poster, definitely not store bought.

Japanese war tunnels.

I can't say the Japanese are well regarded here, the tales of bayoneting babies is quite real for them, This would have been one of the last holdouts before the Americans, with a little help from us Aussies and others liberated the Philippines in WW2, this is a tourist pay for entry that was naturally closed.

The sign over the locked entry.

A tunnel off on the side that isn't locked, a well positioned rock to protect them from shooting an intruder to the main tunnel.

A sign there. Those boys deserve a medal just for thinking of what they did.
I said Aussie help earlier, we had some ships, the main one being HMAS Australia which suffered rather crippling damage the Lingayen Gulf attack that largely cleared the Philippines. It limped back to Australia and was patched back into a roughly seaworthy condition but since all Aussie ports were reserved for the repair of British ships, had to steam to Britain for repair.
At least we had the USA for a real ally, and still have.

Deadly no doubt.

Olivia was a feared of it, Jimmy wasn't game to get close. The only question for us was if it killed instantly or only gave a painful lingering death. I'm not sure which is worse.

Nice walkway.

Pity like so many things it wasn't open and looked run down enough to be kaput.

The vapour worries me.

In the left centre there may appear to be a lava flow, also on the right edge, something's happening, the alert was raised a notch yesterday.
