Better to eat food from street hawkers, where you can see it cooked
right before your eyes, rather than in an unseen, cockroach-ridden
kitchen in your fancy hotel.

Even allowing for partial subsidising of relatives, I can live there
on about half the cost of living in Australia, at the same standard.

Insurance costs for those ships of ill fame would be enormous.

Leyte was where McArthur ("I shall return!") returned to the
Philippines.  There is a 150% sized sculpture on the beach there of
the general and several of his followers striding purposefully out of
the sea, intent on saving the country from Japan.  According to locals
I spoke to, McArthur leapt out of the boat a bit early, when he was
still out of his depth, and had to be dragged back into the boat.
