Gusto's video was so great. He was so full of enthusiasm and really made the Philippines one very interesting place to see. Too bad he faltered during the interview portion. <BR/><BR/>I must say though that since I am now based in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia, I am also very interested to see Anthony in this part of the world. As you may know, the Kingdom has very strict rules for visitors and for women! I would like to see how Danya is able to pull this off.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
