time stops in philippines

Today, yesterday, a while ago – and probably for some time in the future – in some places it seems that the time has stopped, whereas other parts of the world technology takes over in cyberspeed. Here in Philippines the traditional boats and homes, or rather huts made out of resources around people (that is wood, canes, leaves, stones – pretty much everything goes) are still seen everywhere outside bigger cities.

People might be considered poor compared to the western world, but that does not stop people being happy. I have yet to hear any yelling or see angry faces;  no-ones seems to be in a hurry. I have been quite happily adjusting to the lifestyle too, maybe too much as I am not always aware what day of the week it is, not to talk about time since I haven’t been carrying a watch to the pool and beach. And it feels good! I wish we could stop the time more often and enjoy life as it comes…
