1. What we refer to in the UK as a rotten egg, the Filipinos call it a delicacy by the name of balut
2. In the UK's capital city it is nearly impossible to park, and yet in Manila the whole city is a car park

Beaches are free for everyone in the UK. There are however more amenities at a Philippine beach resort. UK beach resorts don’t have restaurants and bars actually on the sand.

yes uk beaches dont have packs of strays dogs trying to get your food (if you goto Southport or blackpool you'll probably be chased by packs of scousers thouOriginally Posted by Moy

Climate
Food
Religion
Poverty / Wealth / Cost of living
History
And the Yank influence
Just a few facets of cultural difference.
Where to start ?
The Filipinos in general are a pleasant and happy people....not a set of miserables ?
In the UK we say turn on and off the lights, in the Philippines they say open and close the lights.
We know how to drive safely
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
I corrected my mahal on this one day by trying to literally open the light socket. She asked what I was doing and I said 'I'm trying to open the light, like you said'.
The other one I love is: put it in THE REF. Hold on, I'll have to get on to the Football Association to get one over here....
you can pee everywhere here in PI,you'll be thrown to jail if you do that in UK and we use different vocabulary
***In Britain, its rude to turn up in somebody elses place and eat all their foods,...filipino can deal with it well, we can even serve all our foods inside the fridge for everybody,..hahhaa
***British humuor (sarcasm) filipino humuor (racism)
***British people is very particular with time,...filipinos always arrive late.
***In Britain , its rude to point using your nose, eyes,fingers ,,...we filipinas love doing it!!
***British people are polite you cant even count how many thank you's , please, pardon me and sorry they could say in a day...filipinos are also polite by just smiling and having a nod lol..
***My husband, a British dont like to eat meat with bones ,....but he got a filipina wife and taught him how to eat them properly.
***British is very good in grammar , but not in spelling ....Filipino are good in spelling but are confuse with grammar.
*** Every British have Milk and Bread inside the fridge ... Filipinos have Rice in the cupboards...as in plenty of rice lol!!
*** British People drive like lunatics...Filipinos have to be lunatics to drive!!
''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''

...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
I like those observations.
hahahah put a smile on my face! cheers
British use cutlery when eating....Filipinos love to use hands when eating......
British loves to get tanned....Filipinos loves to get white......
Philippines, you can go to the bar and make new friends.
UK, you have to take your friends with you.

AN HAPPY WIFE IS A HAPPY LIFE
Well,you can buy condoms there, but they're extremely small !
in philippines you can go to a friends house without prior notice and served with best food by the host but here in uk you cannot do that...and most of the time you only be serve by a cup of tea
unmarried couple (even at young age) who live together are widely acceptable here in uk and not in phils.
in PI we support parents and family financially here in UK they dont.
in phils we have close family ties unlike here in uk.
in phils grandparents when they retire spend time looking for their children here in uk you normally see them in pub everyday.
when filipino moan in something particular they leave most brit i know they moan yet still stay.
in philippines adult parents get fed on childrens party here in UK adults would leave the party with an empty stomach
...and would need to show their CRB certificate on entry.
You can learn a whole new form of communication with eyebrow raising, lip puckering, grunts and pssst's
