Life with the Locals
... I called my team "the Dwarves" because I was the tallest one and everyone else was like 4-6 inches shorter than me. Not cool. It was a lot of fun and one of the staff bought matching jerseys so we could differentiate one team from the other. In CDO, they're very strict on playing by the rules, so they call every little foul, including 3-second violations and stepping on the line during free throws.

A Proper Entry
... are a few cultural differences I've run into. One, Filipinos will not tell you they don't understand. While English is very prevalent, many Filipinos have a limited handle on it.
