10. farm animals are more common along the side of the street
than mailboxes are in the states. pigs…cows…goats…
carabao…and they are so unaffected by the traffic passing at
70+ mph that it makes me nervous for them. another note on
the filipino animal kingdom: i have seen pigs, cows, goats,
carabao, and even chickens on leashes but have yet to see a
dog on one.
9. speedometer? what’s that?
8. lazy-susans filipino style. how sweet would these babies be at your next
holiday gathering??
7. most common question asked – regardless of if someone
knows us or is meeting us for the first time: “are you single?”
they then follow that up with…”so you are available,
approachable, negotiable?” um, not so much…
6. 9 times out of 10 your dinner comes on a stick…and if not, it’s been
cooked whole and is looking at you. 10 times out of 10, it tastes
amazing.
5. our sink is IN our shower.
4. lane line dividers are purely a suggestion; rarely obeyed.
3. they start celebrating christmas during the first month that
ends in “ber.” so you got it…bring on the christmas tunes in
september, friends! and christmas lights are EVERYwhere…
along with lit up nativity scenes on “stilts.”
2. fear averted: the rest of the world does indeed have fireworks, and they set them off pretty often! J like on christmas! rock on, i’m SO excited!!
1. becky found me a pumpkin spice latte! after searching high and
low in three countries, we found the latte and running shorts in
our beloved bohol! as long as i don’t have too many lattes, the
running shorts will still be used for exercise and not latte
maintenance.
nice hair-do, heather…nice.
