Everything becomes curiously inverted when you're five miles above the sea. Children, on the 18 1/2 hour flight from Los Angeles to Singapore, become the very opposite of a breath of fresh air. Home becomes the place you hardly recognize (while that foreign airport comes to seem very much like home). Night becomes the time when you're wide awake. During my two days in California, I try to avoid jet lag by getting up at noon and doing most of my work while everyone else is sleeping...
...fight - which might have been made to prove Alfred Hitchcock's thesis that killing a man is damn hard work - but I was too excited to take notes.

Like most stereotypes, these are both true and untrue. Filipino hotel entertainers proliferate across the globe, but they are merely the workaday exports of a culture that, on its home turf, plays louder, harder and in more diverse ways than just about any other. Head out most nights in Metro Manila, and you'll be spoiled for original live sound, be it R&B, indie pop, electro-fusion or punk...
