Random observations

I've been in the Philippines for about 2 weeks now and here are some things that I've noticed as I go around.

Some movie theaters offer assigned seatings for a little higher price.

You can bring in outside food (like this idea)

Lane divider lines don't mean jack shit when driving out here, every man for himself and the whole road is yours for the taking.
(oddly, I have yet to see an accident)

Clothes run in small sizes over here.

Food is real cheap.

Luxury items cost the same, if not more, when converted to US dollars.

Taxi drivers are the same breed of inconsiderate drivers everywhere you go, same as the ones in the United States.

Rich people are snooty.

You can go to a mall and be able to find a dermatologist, bank, food court, and a car wash, without leaving the bldg.

Fresh Buko (coconut) juice is the bomb.

Rich people always bring an aide when shopping, you can always tell by seeing them walking behind their employer, holding like 7 bags of items from different shops.

The weather has been pleasant, even though lately we've been hit by a tropical typhoon, but at least the wind is a bit refreshing.

People here are all into name brands when it comes to clothing.

When jeepneys are over their capacity, some passengers hang outside the rear entrance of the vehicle, holding on to the roof.

Rich people's bodyguards are dicks when it comes to driving on the road, like they own the road and everyone is beneath them. I would like to get my monstrous UPS truck and run those sons of bitches over. (oops thinking out loud again)

This country has over 90% literacy rate, 3rd behind the UK and the US. (although a lot of people in the US are still "ignant")
