Philippines: √

(dated February 8)
So another country ticked off on my list!

Nothing had changed since the Americans left, the jeepneys are probably the most prevailing reminisce of the Yankees, together with the tunes of The Carpenters and John Dever’s Country Road. Funny how the land is so nostalgic of the former imperialism. Probably also the reason that it did not progress as much as the other south east Asian economies. It has so much potential with its natural resources and people (they are all English speaking). They could have done so much more than just being overseas workers. Que pena!
