being in another country and listening to people discuss what is happening in America from a totally different perspective.
a few points:
people here were surprised to see fat poor people. walk around manila and see poor people they are truly poor, are skinnier than poles and kids constantly go to school hungry that they cannot learn.
how stupid americans are because they build matchstick houses in areas where they are susceptible to hurricanes (typhoons here) here they build them out of concrete. while it costs more the buildings last for generations.
a story going around food stores being sent by europeans being sent back as unfit for human consumption ( i have to corroborate that story as an inbox hoax)
they were amazed that a country that seems to be able to help everyone else cannot seem to help itself.
