Far away on the opposite side of the world are a cluster of islands known as the Philippines. Into this tropical, crowded, steaming place enters an eccentric farmer from the backwoods of New England, and not only does this technophobic homebody succeed in both going there and returning by winged dragon, narrowly escaping Godzilla and various Philippine monsters, he even wins a bride.This travel book, narrated in humerous and frequently philosophical format by the adventurer himself, is a tale of my expedition to the Philippines in 2016, and my observations of the culture and condition of the island of Mindanao.
