Wow I’m so surprised of how highly you rate the Philippines! I mean of course not in all aspects but overall. I think it’s a good choice you live in Tagaytay. In some other provinces in the Philippines, it’s too hot you’ll feel like burning or melting 😂 so you won’t be able to save on electricity for the airconditioning 😂
I can agree on the food.. Lots of sugary snacks. I used to like cakes when I lived in the Philippines but now that I’ve lived in Japan, I couldn’t take a slice of cake in the Philippines anymore because it’s too sweet for me.
Guess in time we’ll notice you speaking Tagalog fluently 😌😅 who knows!
Yes, good to be in Tagaytay!
It's funny: because I am accustomed to German weather, for me the water in the big swimmingpool there is always warm enough, even if most Filipinos think it would be very cold.
But on the other side I sweat a lot on trips outside of Tagaytay, whereas the locals don't care about the heat. :)
Concerning Tagalog I still didn't learn a lot. The problem (and at the same time advantage) is that most Filipinos speak English very well, which allows me to remain lazy. :)
But there is still hope: already tomorrow will be my first lesson with that friendly security guard who offered me to teach me Tagalog ...
