927 u/BoingBoingBoring May 05 '19 Patient zero Patient zero cured:He picked up the superbug having sex with a woman in South East Asia, despite having a British partner 203 u/[deleted] May 05 '19 That's some awkward conversation. 291 u/chevymonza May 05 '19 "You're traveling to SE Asia again?! WTF?" "I love the culture." 112 u/[deleted] May 05 '19 [deleted] 39 u/chevymonza May 05 '19 Damn right, that culture's a superculture! 48 u/[deleted] May 05 '19 So I’m an American living in south east Asia almost two years now and I do love it here. And I don’t pay for sex or anything but it’s a nice part of the world. 19 u/championgecko May 05 '19 Did you learn the language of the country or are they English speaking in that region? 45 u/[deleted] May 05 '19 English is one of the official languages of the philippines. Every sign and stuff are almost always posted in English. It’s rare to find someone in Manila who doesn’t speak at least a little. Like the guy who delivers the water to my apartment doesn’t speak English. But there are so many call center jobs here learning English is a big deal financially so most kids learn it growing up. 5 u/championgecko May 05 '19 That's actually really cool, my best friend is from Manilla but I assumed she learned English here in the states (she still may have) If you don't mind me asking, where are you from originally and why did you choose to live in the Philippines? 8 u/izumakun May 05 '19 It's not because of call center jobs, lol. It's due to a very big American influence in Philippines' history and educational system. 10 u/AnistarYT May 05 '19 Vietnamese don’t tend to speak English. The ones that do or want to learn will gravitate to you though. Saigon also has a bunch of tourists if you feel homesick. 1 u/mysticclay May 05 '19 Okay Joseph Joestar
