Yep, one of those. Did my my morning and afternoon walks. Boring highway hikes. Sunny and hot as well. Took a nap. Hung out on the internet. And that’s about it.
Well, I did find this mildly interesting article “10 facts about the Philippines that will blow your mind”. That’s a bit of an overstatement, but judge for yourself if you are so inclined. A commenter did add these which I found funny in a sad way:
12, The most beggars per square meter than any other place in the world.
13. The most missing limbs, per capita, from dynamite fishing.
14. Largest importer of other nation’s trash and surprisingly, the least capable of properly disposing their own trash.
15. Has the most over amplified karaoke machines in the world.
Especially those last two.
Anyway, that’s all I got. Time for my beer ingestion.
UPDATE: And here’s #11:
For #12, I thought India would take first prize. All I’ve ever heard about from Koreans, Americans, and Europeans who’ve been to India is the huge beggar population.
For #14, I’d have thought China would take the cake. Then again, China recently said it would stop accepting trash from certain countries, like the US (if I’m not mistaken).
Where did #11 go?
Yes, I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the add-ons. I agree that India must be the leader in beggars. Honestly, it is not a big problem where I live, although in Angeles City it’s a constant irritation. And I read that since China stopped taking trash, Vietnam is the new “leader”. The point about the PI is that the locals trash the streets with impunity.
Number #11 was a photo purporting to show Pinoy innovation. Can’t do photos in the comments, but will update this post with the photo….
Cheers!
