Frank Lloyd Wright designed some memorable architectural structures, including Robie House and Falling water, and most of the buildings in the University at Lakeland, but many were also engineering nightmares prone to leaks and uncomfortable living.

This is basically a brief history of Philippine Airlines and my personal experiences with flights to and from the Philippines.
