Manila

Wow , Chris , Asia does give a different perspective. You have been here too.
The filipina people are America in the 1960's and before. They still neighbor easily, have community -sharing meals house to house , old values ( the ones we used to like to have in America) . The many store clerks greet with a respecful ' Hello sir, hello mom' (Ma'am). The stores have many more clerks than in America. It is a service oriented society. It is holy week , businesses closing, people taking time for God.
