Guten Tag Steemit family ! Hello my fellow steemians !

My name is Peter Paul Emanuel but my friends call me Paul. I am 27 years young and I feel blessed to be living in the southern part of the Philippines! Originally I come from a city in west Germany called Aachen.

I love traveling and ofcourse all the delicious food dishes in the various countries I have visited. Before traveling I always get excited to what spices and local food my taste buds will encounter next. Agriculture is one of my other hobbies, specially here in Mindanao where the sun shines bright and the soil is rich. I am going to dedicate a few posts to Agriculture because I think it is fantastic, to grow your own fresh fruites and vegetables in a healthy Organic Way. There are some days and I think everyone has them, where you have nothing to do and feel bored, on days like this, I love a good game of Battlefield 1 but who does'nt right? PHEEW PHEEW PHEEW :D

The early part of my life I have spent in Mindanao. Till 1997 I grew up playing all the games the local kids where playing, not to mention how much fun it was when you had tons of cousins, alot of free time and no Cellphones or Tablets. The games we used to play to make the days in the sun, fun was Chinese garter, Dampa, Jack Stone, Luthang and what I like to call stick tire. :D

Here are some pics I got from Google,to help give you an idea what games these are. If you want to find the rules for it, Just google the names of the games and self made toys. Its quite fun, you could experience how we used our time as 90s kids, way before technologies influence here in the Philippines. :)

To my right,my first degree cousin.1997

Moving on from my childhood here in the Philippines, my family decided to transfer to Germany in 1997.

After spending a year with my grandparents we moved to Singapore where I went to school from 1998 to 2005. I enjoyed Singapore very much, specially the many different food choices and all the different rich cultures all in one place.Singapore is just truly amazing.

2005 We moved again to another exciting country this time its Thailand. I went to a bilingual school in Pattaya, trying hard to learn the thai language I luckily passed all my grades. All the food there is so diverse and also quite spicy, which I do like. I met alot of different people there even some of my old classmates from Singapore. All in all it was a super experience and I had alot of fun eating their food and learning alot about their culture.

After Thailand, we moved back to The Philippines late in 2008. Here in Mindanao is where I met my beautiful wife. In 2011 we decided to get married in Germany
shortly after saying yes :) we moved to Switzerland and stayed there till 2014
After indulging our tastebuds in all the wonderfully made Swisscheese and finely brewed Calanda Beer, we packed our bags and moved back to the Philippines, to once more enjoy the beautiful beaches under the sun.
