Magandang gabi is a Tagalog greeting meaning, "Good evening!"
I arrived in the Philippines on Sunday evening after a loooooong day of travel. I flew from LAX to Hawaii to Guam to Manilla to participate with 27 other students/scholars in a rice production course at IRRI: the International Rice Research Institute! What an amazing place! Bill and Melinda Gates think so too-- they've committed to donating over 19 million dollars to support the distribution of improved rice cultivars and related technology to rural farmers in Asia and Africa. Over the next 3 weeks you can check this blog for updates and an introduction to what I'm learning meet some of the folks I'm working alongside!
