                    [Summary] => My wife and I have been avoiding eating in restaurants these days, and there’s a very good reason: she’s two months pregnant, and we’ve found that being in this condition gives her incredible new powers: specifically, she has a heightened sense of taste and smell. You’d think these new abilities – a gift of pregnancy – would make dining out even more enjoyable. But there are drawbacks.

I’m thinking about suing the Suncorp Metway Company of Australia.

He asked if I was Spanish. "No, American," I said. Suddenly, his face darkened; he leaned toward me in a confiding manner. From past experience, when somebody does this, I am prepared to be asked if I feel any sense of danger as an American living in the Philippines.

Yes, SPAM. 


Lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM.

But no matter how late we show up, we’re always earlier than everyone else. This is a phenomenon known as Filipino Time.


You can set your watch by it: to most Filipinos, any designated time actually refers to 30 minutes after that specified time.
