Travelling..
"... makes you discover that everyone is wrong about other countries...according Huxley
"...the world is a book and those who do not travel only read a page ...according Saint Augustine.
" how far we travel in life matters far less than those we meet along the way....according to anonymous"
being a traveller (i call myself that because i love to travel-and who doesn't?) makes you broaden your horizon and makes you realize about your love for your country. I loved my country for its deficiencies not only because of its beauty.
And i realize that you cannot have it all.
And i realize theres no reason to complain...
..just looking at the poverty in India,
..the chaotic traffic in Nepal,
..the densely populated Hongkong,
..the breath-taking architectural wonders in Singapore and high rise buildings of Shanghai (while we have nature and realized God gave us those beautiful mountains and volcanoes, and lakes, and beaches)
..the lack of freedom in Vietnam and Laos.
..rudeness and vulgar attitudes of the mainland (they often yell at you with no apparent reason)
..people cannot congregate in Malaysia
..lost in translation in the former Indochina.
so while people never guessed my nationality ( and i really dont know why..,)
i would proudly tell them, "No, im very Filipino."
