Cotabato City is such an interesting place.
I can't walk on the streets past 8pm. More than 10 people told me to be careful because I look like a foreigner. I can't go around town alone. Residents find it normal when someone gets murdered. I'm encouraged to talk Tagalog while walking so I won't be mistaken for a foreigner. The very people whg live here say that this is a lawless city. I'm told to only travel by day. I'm in my boarding house by 7pm. There is no night life here. The closest to night life here is the Videoke Channel. Etc...Etc...
I feel like I'm in a spaghetti western movie.
