So you think you will dance' And they make a nice photo portfolio of you. They promised that you become a dancer or singer or even a model. Sometimes things are not what they seem.

When I look at the Expat in the Philippines statistics I can see lots of interesting things about the visitors of this website. One of the things is what operating system they are using on their PC, and what browser they use. Other parts of the statistics show me the resolution of the screen they are using and lately the number of smaller screens increases a lot. That means that a lot of te visitors of this expat in the Philippines website are using a portable computer or even a I-Phone to...

From expat in the philippines, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
When an Expat in the Philippines needs to buy something he has to go to one of the many available shops or offices available in this country. When you need paint, you go to a paint shop, for food you go to the market or a supermarket and for a car you go to a dealer. The level of customer service of the various shops varies a lot. Sometimes they accept a complaint, sometimes they do not even listen to you but also sometimes they do something without asking. And if you go there, mention that you...

public toilets in the Philippines
From expat in the philippines, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
They call is CR or Comfort Room (I wonder why, because there is little comfortable in it), sometimes they also name it a Rest Room (I wonder why, because it sure is no place to rest a while), and in expensive malls they like to call it ‘Paid Lounge’ (although I do not think it is a place where I would like to ‘lounge’) . . . . Coming from Western Europe, I’m used to going to pee in a decent toilet, at home, at the house of friends or family, at work or where ever I...

efficiency in the Philippines
From expat in the philippines, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Efficiency in the Philippines sometimes is far from good. Sometimes even absurd but funny. Frequent readers of this website know that my wife Flor and I like to go to the market in Marikina, rather than visiting a locale market nearby. The prices are lower, choice is bigger (more stalls), and almost everything can be bought there. Marikina market consists of several streets which all have been covered by the local government so shoppers are not getting wet when it rains. But it has one negative...

I re-wrote it the way it is now so it is understandable and...
