Friendly Philippines
From the moment you get off the plane, you experience the friendliness of the Filipinos. My host Fidel Nemenzo, President of the South-East Asia Mathematical Association and famous student revolutionary against the Marcos dictatorship, I have found to be also an extraordinary teacher and gourmet cook. Malou Lopez, who worked briefly as Williams College Mathematics Department secretary, arranged a splendid lunch for me with the College of Business Administration.
