August 8, 20214 yr We've been a few times during the pandemic. Enjoyed ourselves, spent a lot of money, cruised around the deserted sois. LK and Sou bhukow seemed busy enough. Tons of hotties everywhere. Get a penthouse for real cheap and make your way through the pandemic. There's worse places to be stuck!

We're actually we're enjoying traveling all over Thailand and seeing the emptiness,eeriness, and catastrophic effects that COVID-19 has had.

In my experience much better than here in Thailand. But you also have Jollibee. I could tell you a lot about this. Or about Langkawi. Or the great experience in Hanoi. Or... Thailand doesn't love me but it allows me to stay here if I follow certain restrictions. And it provides a Farang ghetto for me. And this because it is organised to handle foreigners much better than other countries. It is used to tourists. Yep, , lovely islands, don't know about doctors though the ones here in Patts do not impress me, Jollibee is an abomination as is most food there, and yes, it is not too painful to be a long term resident here. Hanoi on the list if we ever get out of COVID.

A lot of fast food there. Visa - no problem to extend. Most people speak English but Tagalog was easy to understand - if you live there long enough. The main difference to Thailand is that you are not a Farang but one of them - at least somehow. They can talk to you because of their English - what will not allways make it easy for you. You are more integrated there if you want it or not. In Thailand I live as a Farang - not so much integrated but more in my Farang ghetto. I can decide what I want. Yeah, I agree, it's much easier to fit in with the locals in PI. Their culture (Spanish Catholic) is far more western than Asian. And they totally get our literature/movies/music. Not to mention they actually seem to like white foreigners.

Listening to a Filipino speak is like listening to a bar girls pigeon English . It’s so annoying ! Also the food is terrible and they have a big obesity problem. To me it’s the armpit of se Asia.

Filipinos are the smallest women I've ever had, I had to impose a lower weight limit on ladies of 38Kg when I was there. Didn't notice any odd accent, they all appeared to talk normal English to me.

I worked with many Filipino nurses in Saudi. Some were DDG and some were not, some were plump, and some were slim. All spoke excellent English, except for some idiosyncrasies such as referring to fruit in the plural as fruits. I didn't consider them to be more man friendly than western women. They were, IMO, more subservient to authority than western people, and rarely questioned anything. I also never trusted them not to rat me out to the boss if I did anything against the rules. I don't remember them having a western sense of humour, and some of their food stank so much we had to ban it. All in all, lovely people. I did meet an exceptionally beautiful one in a Cyprus bar, and had I been looking for a wife at that time, I might never have returned to LOS. Still think about her 30 years later.

That’s the great thing about this world ! I struggle to find Filipinos to be attractive , there are of course the rare occasion where they can be stunning but on average they are not . Im also not into issarn women and the same can be said about them . But that would leave more for you guys who do find them attractive ???? they are far too Americanised for my liking I prefer the Asian culture .
