What I miss alot abt Philippines is the Baywalk in Manila. Been there twice out of the 3 times I've visited PI but since there is nothing there anymore we didn't travel there my last vacation. We did go to Boracuy though. Lots of fun in the Sun there really!!!

Alright real answer..

What I miss about Philippines is how I can make money in the US and spend them in the Philippines.. Malling, Clubbing, Partying, Drinking outside the house, Going to Fiesta, Staying @ a Hotel... I feel like a 1st class in the Philippines..

Of course lets give thanks to the Exchange Rate.. (too bad the $$ is down)

As for the US.. I can't do what I do in the Philippines here.. Its just too expensive.. All I do here is work, eat, sleep..

What I love most about the US that I can't do in Philippine is.. Online Shopping (ebay, Amazon, etc).. Well you could also do that in the Philippines but I don't trust the Mailing System there and FEDEX (Air21) is just too expensive..

It kinda works out real good...

Im not from the pi, Im from Guam which is pretty similar in culture, but Ive been in the pi for awhile and miss so many things:

Miss

1. my wife and in-laws, cool friends Ive met over there.

2. kare kare, batchoy, Dinuguan, lechon kawali (my favorite), crispy pata, sisig, goldilocks lumpia..the list goes on..haha..

3. riding the jeepney's, and cab's

4. waking up in the morning and hearing side cart motorbikes and loud jeepneys driving by our place...

5. definitely all the sm malls and having dinner at baywalk and fun nights at greenhbelt and cowboy grill..hehe..

6. shopping at greenhills and bacalaran

7. P650 "brand name" shoes..haha..

8. seeing people enjoy and appreciate the most simple things in life and dont complain and just work around it, not too many people like that here in the u.s. Its taught me a lot and was a good experience.

9. all the street food...

love about the u.s.

1. the weather and the clean air (san francisco)

2. no traffic

3. sight seeing

4. job opportunities

5. many more and will find out more once my wife gets here..

Some Filipinos who lived in the US tend to be OA sometime. I don't mind anyways, it's their life.

BTW, I miss balut, manga na may bagoong, sinigang, atbp...
