It's amazing how often, here, I'll see someone post "only in Japan they do X" or "X only happens in #Japan" and, I"ll point out that, yes, X exists/happens in other Asian countries.

I often feel like a lot of #expats aren't even aware that Japan is in #Asia.

my_actual_brain, to Philippines

I’m from America but live in the #Philippines with my wife. She is a local. I’m about to open a bank account here but am not sure which bank is good for foreigners. I’m leaning towards BDO. All my income will be transferred from a back in the states. Also, what’s the best way to transfer, Western Union?
