I am now for over a month in the Philippines and will have three full weeks of my life behind me, the höchstwarscheinlich resemble the next 47 weeks with very few exceptions. Even though I am here not so much with cultural differences in comparison to Germany occupied, and instead the similarities of people in a completely different environment, much more fascinating find, I would try my life to describe here, by describing the most obvious differences, as I just come to mind.
must first of all I say that the pocket money and food wwf einens here the average income of the people here significantly exceeds. This does not mean that I have the financial means to pay tourist prices and consume nothing but imported products, but it means at least that I, in addition to many other privileges in this respect the image of the white tourists still correspond. Our lodgings are exceptionally luxurious.
body care is relatively stressful, complicated because the showers with no running water, and I'm usually drenched in sweat after a short time yet again.
Since the food, as long as there are local products, very favorable, especially on weekends I eat lots often distributed to 4-5 meals.
As almost everyone here I have also my prepaid cell phone text message and write every week when I wrote a year in Germany, as this is very favorable compared to telephony.
The movement at the weekend in San Carlos success usually with a tricycle (motorcycle with a covered sidecar) or see large with the Pedicap (bicycle with sidecar). Both are very cheap and I am often torn whether I should run a route (very unusual here) or should I be chauffeured. In the sun I regret most of the former fast, morning or evening, however, it is a very relaxing diversion.
Based on my looks or my skin color I would of course welcome very often or mentioned, or get from passing Trycicles the famous "Hey Joe" to hear what I ignore either or increase in eye contact with an eyebrow and grin answer. If I get a tour of the new people are funny enough almost always a friend of one of our ww predecessor, but what makes the conversation started pleasantly.
After the laundry is excreted as too slow and too complicated, I have divided my clothes on my two residences, wash and dry in the morning from now on by hand and then let the clothes during the day in the sun.
Because, regardless of dengue fever, fairly be sensitive to mosquito bites I spray myself constantly with a variety of sprays and wince at every touch together by an insect.
How schonmal mentioned the traffic here quite different from Germany and when it comes to the breaking point of a vehicle, "is trying to study" the principle acted. Thus whole extended families find space on a motorcycle and buses use the roof for additional seats and additional storage space. The German / European regulations for securing the load I get pretty ridiculous in this context. In terms of my free time I have for the first read time, the opportunity in peace without distraction, listen to audio book, or write articles for my blog to be able (if I do not just eat). Since I became aware of this, I am extremely satisfied, even if laboratory work is still not started properly, the assistance provides a nice farm on the pattern of physical change at this time of leisure. Coming soon to San Carlos is "Fiesta" and already we have of the Foundation from a booth there and I do my colleagues there on the weekend immermal company, will probably soon but divided and laid on the care and must then explain visitors interested in our project approach and the biological products of our Demonstration farm for sale. Last Monday we were introduced at City Hall the most important people in the city. The mayor, who at that time was not in the house, we did yesterday then met yet. As for my activities, I can only by a very impressive visit to the cock-fighting arena and report less dramatic beach and park visits in the area of San Carlos. While I'm writing right here, behind me driving in the settlement of a truck with a marching band on it in circles. This loud conversation we owe the campaign to stand before the barangay elections, the lowest political level here. As far as the latest news from the secret center of power in the world. ;)
