"While Filipinos are warm, courteous, and welcoming, some do not like us Indians." Indians dislike the scent of bagoong, and Filipinos hate the smell of hot curry coming from Indians.

Jani enjoyed dirty ice cream on the streets, and calle crisologo and plaza are two of her favorite locations to unwind when she misses her family. She also enjoyed fiestas and trade shows.
Kindness and hospitality are two things that Indians and Filipinos have in common. We were in a foreign environment, with distinct meals, clothing, culture, and language.

English is a language that truly unites the world.
