Orientation

Now that we are just about settled into our new apartment, we are going through orientation. Most of the orientation involves meeting with different people in different departments, but occasionally, we get to take "field trips" out to see Manila.

Here, we are standing with other new arrivals at an old Spanish fort in downtown Manila.




We also visited the United States Cemetery, where over 17,000 U.S. soldiers are buried. They died in WWII, defending the Philippines, as well as other Pacific countries.
