Most important book to read; to start to understand us!,
By Filipina Cupid "Jean" (Cebu, Hong Kong, Manila, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Culture Smart! Philippines: A Quick Guide to Customs & Etiquette (Paperback)
This is in many ways an update to "Culture Shock Philippines." It is not a travel guide but does describe a number of good places to visit. It gives a good historical overview, then spends much of it's 168 pages explaining daily life, cultural issues, family values and our focus on the family.
It explains common attitudes toward foreigners, and how a foreigner can make a good impression. It includes an excellent discussion about Religion and our many Christian festivals. Descriptions of common housing, shopping, entertaining, family celebrations, and a whole chaper on traveling in The Philippines. I recommend this as the most important book to read to start to understand us. Jean @^:^@
