TRAVEL ADVISORY...NOT ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES (APEC EDITION)

All the stories you might think are from here, but are actually from APEC, APEC countries, or countries who know a guy from APEC. Just follow the yellow link road.

* Extreme security concerns at a high-profile international event, then things don't go as planned, and other countries start to snicker? I feel your pain, brother.

* I mean, it's not like your public transport system isn't safe. . . oh, wait.

* Corrupt judge seduced by the dark side. No. Really.

* The problem with aggressive panhandlers, they're so darn . . . aggressive.

* Man, if I can't get a passport, and no one trusts my diploma, how am I gonna buy beer?

* Overpriced road projects: The White Elephant in the Room.

* There's never a good credit rating when you need one. Actually, there's never a good credit rating agency around when you need one, either.

* Defense contracting fraud puts soldiers in even greater harm's way. If only the guy who played Rambo were still alive.

* It's hot as hell, but at least the power's out.

* And you call us dogeaters?!

* Looting, panic buying and a water shortage. The bad news day trifecta (and I haven't even mentioned the plague)

* Reality and game shows may be rigged?!? Nooooooooooo!!!!!

* And finally, we've all seen the shame of a poor education system, but has anyone thought about the parents?
