Not even worth the topic as it happens everywhere in the world. Subjective reports about this or that country/city are not worth the 5 cents of time to read it actually. Even very positive reports have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Maybe the ... Read More

It is a bit harsh to say that everyone in the Philippines is racist, as a matter of fact, the Filipinos are rather submissive to foreigners (which is not good either). But of course they are human beings and it all depends on the individual ... Read More

They showed it a few years ago in a sports pub (which now is closed) but I would not know of any channel showing the entire event live in full lenght. You can try your luck with the internet, there is a possibility even in ... Read More

It really depends upon the individual person. Some expats live here for superficial reason and spend their days drunk and in bars. Some because it is cheaper than anywhere else. Some enjoy the sights and nature. The list ist endless, just like the ... Read More
