Well, thank you...
I was battling hunger after viewing ginnieb's breakfast photos, but now no longer have that problem. hehe
But, it was a great article...I always find culture differences interesting. I would probably starve if I had to live there...

Friar__Tuck, This was wonderfully fun for me to read especially since my Son #1 was there a lot during his Navy years and shared much of the same things. Also, in my work as a nurse, I enjoyed the company of many RN's fresh from the Philippines, just learning English, who talked much about home and brought their culture with them. They are all Americanized now but I really enjoyed learning from them. My favorite conversation with one of them included,
"How old are you, Miss Betty?" (alway they pronounced my name "Bet - tie" not "Beddy" like everyone else I knew).
"I'm 55, almost 56."
"Oh-h-h-h!.... and you still drive? (in amazement) HAHAHAHA
Thanks for sharing.
