Synopsis:

David Brusker has been traveling to the Philippines for more than twenty years. This is a collection of essays on his attempt to understand the country and the lessons that country might offer.

From the Back Cover: Be warned. This is a dangerous book. Long before you finish reading Liberace's Filipino Cousin, you'll find yourself planning your own trip to the Philippines. David Brubaker knows and loves this corner of the world, and his passion for it is infectious. History, humor, and travel tips are brought together in his tantalizing glimpses of this country of 7000 islands and the delightful people who live there. As you read and laugh your way through these pages, you'll be learning how to navigate your way through the crazy streets of Manila, how to travel country roads to meet an island witch who uses her powers to heal, how to join one of the most exclusive clubs on earth, and above all, how to enjoy your time in a country that is still off the beaten track for many travelers. In the meantime, meet the Tampon Queen, the child who just might be the reincarnation of the revered Santo Nino, and the friendliest Hobbits the world has ever known, as you wander through the Philippines with David. Eavesdrop on conversations that will broaden your knowledge of a complex society and peer into corners that will fascinate you and may break your heart just a little. Believe me, you ll have a wonderful time.
