Cultural Curiosities


1) Shampoo: black as night. Very funny guys...you can come out now.

2) To call a waiter/ waitress or to get anyone's attention, pucker up and make an elongated kissing sound. Try it. Kind of tickles.

3) "Kiss of peace" (i.e. peace be with you) in Mass: it's a sactified "wasup" nod. Very difficult to master the timing of eye contact. Like Eropean style "cheers."

4) Bucket-in-bucket washing system next to each toilet. How do I use this thing? I missed this lesson during potty training. Too embarassing to find out how to use it now. Oh well.

5) Spiders for sale. I think little kids buy these critters for some sort of cruel gambling sport where the loser gets eaten. Poor things.

6) Disregard for any laws of conduct/order in the process of line forming. The only observable rule of conduct is "me first." Savages. (It's okay, I'm Filipino).

7) The Filipino taste for things that are foul (e.g. aged hard boiled eggs, fully developed duck embryos, shrimp paste)
