Filipinos love to party, and so does Buford Perry! This is a profane and hilarious travel tale from an aging roughneck who abandons the frozen oil fields of North Dakota to dive head-first into the tropical culture of the Philippine Islands. Meeting his teenage fiancee for the first time at Cebu Airport, the author plunges himself into a non-stop bacchanalia laced with sweet sex and Red Horse beer. With a fat paycheck in his pocket and a dozen prospective in-laws willing to participate in whatever mad folly our hero will pay for, the revelry never stops. From helping his Filipino "family" crash the pool at an exclusive resort hotel that caters to westerners, to immersing himself in the youthful night-time crowd at the Sinulog festival--where he's the only white face in sight, Buford takes the reader on a tour of the Philippines as few Americans will ever see them. Along with beautiful young women and uproarious behavior, the author gives his readers some keen observations and crude philosophy. The best quotes are too obscene to include here, but this is one of the cleaner samples, fresh from Buford's pen: "...by historical standards, my desire to wine and dine a teenage Filipina is despicable—but not because of the age of the girl. It’s despicable for not being manly enough to pass muster. What warlord ever addressed his men before the gates of a city and said, 'Okay guys, let’s batter down the walls and go in there and throw some money around and see if maybe some of the girls will take their panties off for us!'" For the most part this story is a rollicking adventure. Yet on the flight over, Buford speaks of his fear that he might not like the girl when he meets her: "If I have to dump her, it will break my heart. In all my time on earth, I have always been the sexual underdog. I have always been the beggar, trying to convince a woman to accept my woo. My heart has taken 10,000 punches, yet I can’t seem to deliver one." After he's been in Cebu City for a few days, he begins to feel maybe he's taking advantage of the local people. In a conversation with a British expatriate who lives there, Buford is told: “You Americans always want to do the right thing. You make yourselves miserable here. Just relax and enjoy yourself, and you’ll do fine.” When Buford continues to sip beer and struggle with his conscience, the expat mocks him with the opposite advice:“Then give everyone everything they want. Give them everything they ask for until you don’t have any money anymore. Then you can go home feeling like a saint.” Beyond the wisdom and philosophy, Buford offers the reader some twisted lessons in Filipino history. Telling the story of Magellan's death in the Philippines in 1521, he says: "...they loaded up 50 Spaniards and a couple of hundred Cebu warriors and went over to Mactan to find King Lapu-Lapu. It wasn’t hard to locate the guy. He was standing around near the end of the runway of Mactan-Cebu International Airport with 1500 angry men in war-paint backing him up. Also he was 20 feet tall and cut like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his body-building prime, according to his statue." For those who don't mind the profanity, this book is a fast-flowing amusement that leaves the reader wanting more. It's an excellent first effort by a new author, well worthy of the reader's time and attention.

A great window into Filipino culture for any American By Larry Pendarvis This is a coming-of-middle-age tale of an American hoping to find the Holy Grail in an island paradise. He is able to handle moral ambiguity, which is necessary in the Philippines where nothing is as it seems - not even the scammers. He delves headlong into the Filipino culture with his "go-to-hell-and-i'm-coming with-you" attitude and, wonder of wonders, he is able to deal with betrayal and understand where it's coming from. This is a rollicking, "go-to-hell-and-I'm-coming-with-you" travelogue I recommend to anyone hoping to escape the Feministas of USA. It's a hell of a ride and Buford is on the front lines. I have lived in the Philippines for two years and I assure you he is spot on.

You have to give him credit for his honesty throughout the book. It may be too raw for some, but atleast he doesn't try to hide his true feelings or intentions.He handles the breakup rather well. I've been to the Philippines three times, been married to two Filipinas. I've seen and experienced much of the same. If you've been to the Philippines and enjoy reading about other Fil/Am relationships, I would recommend this book.

Candid book needs editing By Big Apple Books in this genre are usually by non-writers - random men who go to Asia to get laid then write about it - but this guy can actually write. The man take frankness and honesty to a new level - making it easy to like him and to follow his story. Unfortunately the book is marred by an abrupt ending - which is to say no ending, just the promise of more books to come (none of which have materialized on Amazon as of writing) making this a bit of a tease. The other major drawback is the author's boorish attitude to his son whom he constantly refers to as 'retarded.' In addition he compares a Thai man to a dog and makes constant allusions to bestiality. Without the offensive use of the word 'retard,' less patronizing and none of the animal sex references - oh and with an ending - this might have garnered 3 stars.
