      Thailand is a much cleaner, and modern country than PI. Thailand is much better. I lived in both places and Thai's are more respectful to each other or foreigners and carry themselves with honor.

    I learned a lot of Tagalog and Chubucano (much more like spanish and spoken in the south) from my EX and her family when I lived there. After getting rid of her and marrying my Thai wife I told her straight out I'm not stressing myself to learn Thai. I will teach every person in Thailand how to speak english before I learn Thai. I understand what you're saying though dude but I had no issues communicating in either place.

    1. Learn Visayan. Get the software or an app to learn it. Or hire a tutor. Speak it as much as possible.
    2. Use a translator app or device.
    3. When in Rome, do as the Romans. Kick off your shoes. Drink some tuba. Learn to interact with Filipinos. They are very relaxed and fun loving.
    4. Set boundaries. Tell them they need to call before coming by or not during certain times.

  • @goatman3828
    @goatman3828 5 месяцев назад

    I think I'm unclear on something. Anyone please chime in...
    City people don't just stop by? Like, they have a date and time pre-arranged? what if something comes up for one of them, then what do they do? Is it because when they are home they are just sitting on the sofa? When a country person is home they might be in the barn, out in a back field, wrenching on a tractor, fixing fence lines. Having someone just stop by is like getting some free help. Have some coffee ready to go and then take a bit of a coffee break and chat, or kèp working (free help) and chat. What do city people do when they visit? I really don't know, and never concidered it before.

    Fatima said go ahead we talking about him not that , but the joyful look she put on her face when you said you paid was priceless. And I know she felt like a hero on her way to the hospital to help her sister out. She was strutting her stuff down the street, she probably didn’t even call her sister up to tell her that she was on her way to bail her out, just so she could flap her super hero cap more when she showed up, I love it.

    Having a wife that basically disappears for 10 days...what the heck is she up to? That would be my first question. 1 weekend a month. Max. And you be there. So.ething doesn't add up for a "wife" wanting to dissappear for a week and a half. Here in the USA when that happens you normally find her in Miami or Vegas. And we all know what she is doing when she goes there alone, or even worse, a "girls trip".

    @afvet5075 5 месяцев назад

    King in my case even if you don't live close to her families home it causes distress. If they know that their family member is involved with an expat, it is a constant problem. My girlfriend told me that before we met her family including her kids would very rarely stay in contact with her. Since we have been together they call but it is usually to borrow money. It's not to see how she is doing. It is because she has an American boyfriend. Problem is I cannot always help them because we cannot help everyone. I have to be able to survive also and I am on a limited budget. So they stop talking to her when she says no. For some reason they think all of us are rich. But we are not. We have to budget here also.

I see where your coming from. You’ve learned the Pilipino culture and, costume and you understand. I too was raised in the village cannot speak very “well English” and, my family are also poor. As a Pilipino I think all we want is respect ! I understand now, you do show some respect by showing compassion , and providing food for them. Thank you Marcos. God bless!

My 1st Time In Manila Got Took For 1,500p To Go To Pasay , After That Got Cab Rides From MNL All The Way To Batangas Pier For 2,000p ! I Love Filipinos But If They Smell Green Foreigner Watch Out You Will Pay A Big Skin Tax ! LOL 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣

    Your wife has a beautiful laugh, Mark. I was in Dumaguete for the month of January. Got back to the states and had the influenza last week. Too much stress for me. Felt very isolated in the Philippines. Like nobody wanted me except for my money (which isn't a real lot.) Can't afford to live in America but don't know where to go. I drink a lot now but at least I'm not on the street. That will be the end of me.
