People were wondering what I was doing in the US. They thought I was just on vacation. Partly. Maybe.
Edmund and I left Manila on May 22, 2019, and even the immigration officer was curious about what I would be doing in their country for two and a half months. He thought that’s what we always do, come and stay for two and a half months. Nope. There were visits where I stayed
for less than a week, one week, ten days, two weeks, three weeks, a month. Lately, due to many occasions, I stayed longer than usual.
