Things I like about the philippines
- Pharmacy without a script, (I only go as needed but it is very wonderful!)
- I actually like the added security guards in front of buildings, and malls.
- Public transport, cheap
-Travel , easy to travel to places, beaches , etc (the lrt is great)
- People are nice, and happy
Things I dislike about the philippines
-No public trash cans , hardly at all (no one seems to care about where garbage goes)
-Heat, Pollution , dangerous traffic/driving
-The SM malls, although big in size, have little selection and everything is mostly junk when it comes to clothes. Example I went to several stores which might only have 2 or 3 pairs of shorts for men and none in size 34 or up type sizes very often. The SM mall of Asia is nice, but all the stores in it are no good , often they are the size of a small closet with a few things hanging up and thats it. Ive been extremely disappointed in the shopping here . The only decent mall so far is Greenbelt and its way over priced. Ive had to get some clothes mailed to me from overseas due to the lack of decent clothes =/ But women have far more clothing choices than the men when it comes to shopping here
-Lack of public restrooms , and having to pay to use them when you do find one
- Meats, are extremely low quality, you aren't going to go to the store and find a spiral cut honey ham. The hotdogs are terrible as is the sausage, the Italian type foods they like to eat are not even close, mostly sugar sauce. Also steak is an extreme luxury.
- The McDonalds doesn't have biscuits, the breakfast food is just on burger buns it seems bleh
-SM department store, while inside they have people at each rack trying to sell you stuff, and its so relentless that you just want to leave the store and buy nothing. I have decided to stop shopping there.
- Being handed pamphlets everywhere you go for over priced condos
- Lack of online shopping/decent banking
