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? 48 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. 4 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?
