Hey there! I'm from Manila as well but last summer, I went to Europe and I really liked it! My favorite city there is Vienna!

I noticed na in all the cities I went to, talagang meron mga Filipinos. We tored Europe via the Eurail and kahit sa trains, may Filipinos din so kahit na papano we weren't that home sick!

Hello FirstLove

*shakes hand*
Nice to meet you!

PePs actually answered your questions already... but here's my point of view...

1> are the french really rude when they know that you cannot speak their language?

--i don't think that they're rude... it's just the impression you'll get... 'coz they have this weird manner of speaking! they're not expressive and very cold!

they're not like the americans nor asians... always with a smile on their faces!

i guess it's the culture... you just have to get used to it...


2> is it true that they discriminate against Filipinos coz they think of them as maids/helpers? esp in italy?

--frankly speaking, i don't think so! they ain't racists dear... oh, the french i mean! haven't experienced any sort of harassment in my 5 year stay here!

don't know about the italians though!

unfortunately, it's true that almost 85% of the pinoys here in paris are domestic helpers... sad but true!


3> in greece - Filipinos in their dictionary means; helpers?
--REALLY? uhhh webster defined the filipino... as such... years ago... i didn't know that the greek as well... hmmmnnn...


I want to go there but hesitating to spend the $ if the people there are rude. pls advice. thks!
--So you mean to say you're planning to visit europe? Great! I'll be your tourist guide if you want to! If you have other questions... just post away...

are they rude?-i think it depends, I had my experiences na were not so nice pero mern din naman na worth remembering again and again. and i think dun sa pagiging rude, hindi lang french people ang at fault kase kahit na nung sa Spain kami, I have encountered rude people as well.

When I had my first brush with rudeness in Europe, my cousins and I were so stupefied kase we coudn't believe na they could be that blatantly rude. I even thought pa nga na since they were the Westernized people and all, they should have been the well-bred ones! Kaya lang, as we proceeded with the trip, not all of them were like that. Some were really nice naman. Kaya I think it depends na lang how you deal with the situation. I say just treat it as a strengthening experience and you'll feel better na.

* I noticed na one thing you have to worry about in Europe eh yung mga gypsy people especially sa Rome and Barcelona. They're really marami in those places and they have very quick hands so if you're not mindful with your stuff, they might get it. That's creepy especially if you're just visiting kase hassle pa if you lose your credit cards and passport. yikes!
