Philippines from below

After a month in the Philippino paradise, we can see what the Spanish liked so much about it.
🐠
We are not exactly beach lovers (which is more than visible on our white skin after more than half a year in Asia), but the beaches in the Philippines are simply amazing.
🐠
The underwater life here looks like in AQUARIUM.
🐠
We love public transport in colorful tricycles. On each island they look a little different, we loved the little ones, and called them BUGY. Local people have an even better name. Haba Haba.
🐠
Indeed, there are many doublewords – HABA HABA, HALO HALO (coconut dessert with beans and jellies), KARE KARE (another meal), LAPU LAPU (island).
🐠
In order to drive a tricycle, the driver must have religious texts in the vehicle. GOD IS GREAT!
🐠
We used 11 boats and set foot on 10 islands.
🐠
Karaoke is promoted to VIDEOKE in the Philippines.
🐠
The Filipinos love fast food, cheese and donuts. We have not seen so many different types of fast food chains in one place yet.
🐠
We ate JELLYFISH. With vinegar and onions.
🐠
Language is a mixture of Spanish, English and local dialect. So we usually understood every third word.
🐠
But we often did not understand the Filipinos even when they spoke English to us. Not that they didn´t know English, but we probably didn´t meet a local who would have ALL TEETH.
🐠
In the Philippines they probably steal the toilet seats. Or they save on them. Or they just run out. There are simply none.
🐠
Everything is in mini design, 250ml and smaller bottles of CocaCola are standard. Probably there is not enough plastic in the oceans.
🐠
SMOKE FREE CITY – DRUG FREE NATION. Addicted people are in danger in the Philippines. No kidding.
🐠
PIRATES are not yet a history. Shotgun protection was nearly on every ship.
🐠
We almost lost our nerves, the INTERNET is a complete CATASTROPHE.
🐠
It is hot, but old ladies are still wearing WOOLEN CAPS on their heads.
🐠
Basketball is a national sport. Right after COCKFIGHTING.
🐠
The Filipinos are a SWEEPING nation. They use the broom several times a day and everywhere. They even sweep the sandy beach.
🐠
We’re receiving back candies instead of our change.
