My Lakbayan grade is C+! Found this cool tool via http://beechavez.blogspot.com/ my question is, do the places you have visited between 1 to 12 years old count? because in most cases here in the philippines, when you are young, you do not have a choice where to go and money to get there. in the end i included the places, where i was born, and places we visited when i was a bed wetter.
