I had a serious conversation today with my young lady, comparing the different cultures along the lines of what we do different in the west and what is different over there.

Things like telling the parents what time she will be home and where we are going and what we are doing.

If I take her out and she tells her family that it was nice, then I take the family out as a sign of resepect. Cant remember the bisayan word for it.

Oh and she is not allowed to go alone with you unless she is married to you.

She couldnt believe that in the West we date each other and dont tell the parents or sometimes even meet the parents. And that women live alone in the West.

That was just two things that spring to mind, have so much to learn hehehehe.

She is a traditonal woman, from a village in the provinces.

But I am looking forward to learning she said she would help me, and I will help her will be good learning together.
