Hello M&L, Looks like the Philippines is one of the cheapest country in Asia. I was gobsmacked when you mentioned the 2 pesos for them home made pasteries. Have you seen anything even cheaper than that? If so what would it be? That elderly shop owner could really speak english. Is that the case in other shops / restaurants / transports, etc ? Enjoy your weekend, mind yourselves 🙋🏻‍♂️

@FrugalTravellers

Ай бұрын

Hello SERGIO 👋 It's so lovely to hear from you, and your comments are always so thoughtful and interesting 😊 I'm trying to think of anywhere that's had less expensive pastries but nowhere comes to mind. That bakery was excellent value for money, and was definitely the least expensive we found during our month in the Philippines. The shop owner was so lovely. We had a really good chat with her about life in Banaue, and her 10 siblings! I think she learnt English at school, and it might still be taught in schools today, as so many people in the Philippines speak excellent English. There are also so many Filipino OFWs as well (Overseas Foreign Workers) and most families have 1 or more family members living and working overseas. Filipinos are just so lovely - we met so many happy & friendly people, and had some great conversations as well. Thank you again, SERGIO, and we hope you have a wonderful week 🙏🤗😍 ~ Mandy

Filipino viands (meat, seafood, vegetable dishes) tend to have stronger flavors i.e. salty because it's meant to be eaten together with rice in a single bite. The bland taste of the rice balances off the taste.

Hi Cory. That's a great random question! We're currently in India, and the flies are pretty annoying at times. Tropical countries tend to have more bugs, but I can't say I remember ever being super plagued by any... or maybe it's just something we've become accustomed to after 30+ years travelling 🤔 Any tropical country, really, but you really do get used to them faster than you'd think. ~ Mandy
