The Philippinos love Americans, especially their money! :lol: But seriously they are very friendly, polite people who speak fairly good English and having been 'raised' on U.S Navy culture, calling all foreigners Sir or Mam. They also make a mean 1950's Navy wife style macaroni salad and the worst coffee since HoJos. :P The only problems I encountered was with some of the taxi/trike drivers trying to rip you off (that is found EVERYWHERE in the 3rd world), and a few wacko street people in Manila. Really if you have been to say Mexico and can handle the 3rd world, PI is great! [ Edited by: Rattiki on 2003-10-28 16:44 ]
