Not sure if it's your thing or not, but I would highly recommend a Finnish TV mini-series called Konflikti. It was hard for me to find, but a really good series.

I've been doing a lot with the Finns as they transition over from older F-18s to F-35s. So far I've been very impressed. That's not a country you want to screw with.

I can't explain it, but the value of the $USD has actually increased in parts of Asia. If you live in the Philippines right now, you're doing good.
