This is an expat community

This is a place for expats to share helpful tips and advice. We share experiences, opinions, excitement and observations among ourselves. We have no intention of offending the Filipino people, whose country we are guests in. This is about sharing opinions, advice and observations. We might vent our gripes to help each other have a better experience in a country that may be very different from the culture we came from. All without outside judgment and condemnation, and without offending Filipinos. We're not looking for arguments or hostility with the people of our host country. This is where we hash out anything and everything and share laughter, sadness and bewilderment among ourselves. We don't welcome toxic comments from non-members eavesdropping and snooping on our conversations. Our free-ranging, unfiltered conversations aren't meant for other people's ears, and we have no intention of engaging with the offended people listening in.
