We're onto you, M... Boracay Travel advisory

This is very random, but after an appalling experience at a guesthouse/hostel in Boracay, Philippines, I feel the need to make a note for anyone going there.

After going through the motions of arguing with "Claus" (not his real name, but the european owner of said establishment) at Melinda's Garden on the main beach, we've only found more evidence for the bed bug prognosis (also diagnosed by the Boracay hospital doctor) for all the little red bites we got at the resort! According to the stuff Emi found in Japanese, the bites aren't even always visible.  So Emi probably had them, too.

I should have gotten paid back for that Lysol we had to buy in the nights before we could switch hotel... but since that isn't going to happen, I feel some solace in providing a tip to beware of Melinda's (who seems to have stopped trying after being included in the Lonley Planet) if you go to Boracay. Just not worth it on vacation.
