A tidbit for me, A tidbit for you :)

I don't have much time so I shall provide some interesting tidbits from my Filipino experience....
1. the mangoes are to die for.
2. I live with a gecko. He is my new friend and he is always welcome in my home :) Yesterday he was in my sink.
3. roosters live outside. they cockadoodle-do all day long. Its not as annoying as you may assume. It's kind of nice.
4. The sun rises at 5 am. It's boiling hot by 7
5. Jeepneys are awesome(Google it). Such an interesting form of public transit. Their so resourceful. I am definitely to big for them though. Everyone looks at me and giggles.
6. Everyone looks at me all the time, whether man woman or child. I feel like I am constantly on display.
7. People are very friendly. They always say "hi mam". It's endearing. But I have a feeling that it may get to be a little much after three months.
8. There are little shops everywhere. Kind of like corner stores, but they sell booze ;)
9. I feel incompetent all the time. With the littlest things too. Because everything operates so differently, I'm constantly fooled. Its like April fools everyday! ahahaha
10. I dropped an entire bag full of Calamansi's (which are little mini limes that taste amazing!) in the middle of the check out line of the grocery store today. All the staff ran around to pick each one up, put them in a bag and give them to me. I bought them all. It was embarrassing. Hence tidbit #9.

Thats all for now. More to come! Amazing!!!!!
