@bmona755011 ай бұрын
Zamboanga is one of the few cities that mostly retained their Spanish colonial architecture. In the olden days most cities in the Philippines looked like that even Manila. If you read accounts of westerners that visited the Philippines in past centuries they mention how the cities are generally similar to those in South America and other Spanish colonies with some slight differences (bahay kubo/bahay bato style; more Asian influence). As for the pen thing and going to a shrine/holy place before or after exams that's largely an Asian thing and students mostly do that to important national/licensure exams. Heard students in Korea and Japan does something similar except its in their temples rather than in churches.

16:22 Watching the whole video, I just can say: People will be more friendly over all, if Mike just slows down a little bit.. He is overly fast, hectic, goes very near in the personal space of people talks nonstop at the second of approaching.. It is just too much for me, and I am an european, now lets think about how this will feel for an asian person.. Have some deep breaths every few minutes, calm down. Sorry to sound so harsh but I had to say this. It is exhausting. I felt uncomfortable in the interactions even I am not the person that had that interaction personally. But if I would be there, I think I would just say "no thanks" and continue on my way, even though I am quite communicative and supportive and helpful - and you probably following me :D but kidding aside: Just a friendly reminder if you seem to have less friendly interactions than you expect, dont always look for it on the person you encounter, but maybe also yourself. Look to your girlfriend, she is much more composed. Would be a totally different reaction. So maybe try half "energy".
