Mm, I'm debating whether or not it's right to come to you for this question...

I'm a Filipina, except I've never lived in the Philippines before and can't speak a word of Tagalog. I'm moving to Manila next year to finish Grade 11-Grade 12. I guess my family will mix in the 'expatriates' group because my dad's been an expat in other countries throughout Asia.

Any advice for me? Blending in, places to eat, funny experiences?

I don't visit the Philippines quite often, actually. I might start learning a few phrases before moving haha..ha...(my pronunciation is terrible)

Mm, I know. It's just that my accent raises a lot of questions whenever I'm in the Philippines because I look very Asian hahaha... And I've lived in SE Asia all my life so the humidity isn't a problem :)
