Philippines: Meeting other expats:
| welcome to the philippines. ive been here since march of 2010. i lived and taught english in makati. i tried to meet foriegners while there, but the ones that wanted to be my friend, were not not the ones i wanted to be friends with. i moved to surigao city after 7 months in manila, and i met a great group of expats there. they were like family to me. but after a few months, i was bored to death (no malls or restaurants).. so im in cagayan de oro now. im finding its the same here as manila, the foriegners look the other way when they see another foriegner. its weird! so, im off to bohol next week. the smaller cities seem to be much friendlier. part of the reason for me moving is the noise, traffic and pollution. anyway.. welcome and i hope you enjoy your stay in this beautiful country! |
