🇵🇭 LIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES⚡ 40 SEC

I lived in the Philippines, but it felt like I was living in Korea 🐧

A quiet residential street at dusk with low Korean style buildings and warm street lights
The Villages

The place I lived in Clark was called The Villages.

Eighty Percent Korean

It felt like about 80 percent of the residents were Korean, 10 percent Filipino, and 10 percent Chinese. I heard Korean around me every day.

Not Quite Philippines

I really was in the Philippines, but it never felt like the Philippines at all. It felt like I had been living in Korea. Even the buildings all looked Korean.

Extremely Safe

But it was a very safe area. Safe enough that it did not feel like the Philippines. The Philippines is safe these days anyway, but this place was safe on another level. Safe enough that you could probably walk around at any hour of the night. That is the kind of good place I lived in.
