I know right? I saw a grip in the Philippines too, but I already know why, the army had a base there (army has the most number of black folks), LOADS of AAs stayed because they speak english in the Philippines, and well, out of all the paags, filipinas tend to really like brothas, many found wives and just didnt want to go home. I must say, out of all the countries I've been too, the Philippines is hands down the most hospitable and friendliest, its so weird to hear everyone call you sir everywhere you go, from cashiers to taxi, you will hear sir at least 20 times in a day, its crazy. Filipinos are the nicest people ever, their culture is like an asian southern hospitality its weird. Folks are very humble, its quite peaceful there too. They have a little bit of problems with the muslims islands, but other than that, I never felt ANY danger. Thailand was a little rough around the edges, thai's have a fighting culture (obv)
But thailand really threw me off cause we never had a base there. I guess cause they speak english in thailand maybe? Thought it was strange.
I've heard good things about Singapore, they speak english too, I hear its very very clean, but a bit expensive, never been, but now Im curious.
