In 3 months, I live, I discover, and learned a lot. The Filipino culture is so different from Belgium. You begin to open your mind in another side of the world, you will see differently, and step by step understand a little bit about this new culture. And more, you will begin to enjoy your stay, to travel around the country to see all the sides it can show you. Because, I think for everybody when you are thinking about the Philippines, you think about the beautiful beach, paradise and so on. But in fact, it’s so much more. Every experience is different so as possible as you can, live the best year you can.
I met a lot of foreign people and Filipinos…
I taste a lot of Filipino food…
I learned about the world, history, and intercultural learning. So this exchange is the most interesting thing I did in my life!
