Arizona Kid Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Time for the traffic to get even more painfully slow, so a tiny minority can clog traffic for the vast majority, so they can slowly make their way down the roads with their balloons and dancing! Public transportation backed up for kilometers. What the hell..It's Filipino time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayj Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Same in my wife’s street. Noise till midnight. They move on after Easter. I guess they moved on to yours now. Edited April 27, 2019 by Rayj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJReyes Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 When are you guys going to stop crapping about life in the Philippines and start enjoying its unique cultural offerings including the annual fiesta? If you really dislike the fiesta, just ask the dates and take a holiday away from the local festivities. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm going to do in July, they had a stage setup with banks of loudspeakers Playing extremely loud noise from 10am till 2:30 am. Even the locals were complaining. So I'm forced to take a weeks holiday somewhere, anywhere that's peaceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At midnight it doesn't stop the volume gets turned up and then carries on till 3 am. How long should I take my holiday for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayj Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) My wife chooses our 2 weeks vacation here and it always the homecoming time prior to Easter. I replied to the OP as I had never heard this topic mentioned before in any forum I had been in. I pledged long ago that I would do as you say if I ever came to live here. As for culture, hawking cheap goods and food, is the only cultural activities I see. The street in front of the fire station, emergency police, and emt are totally clogged so if an emergency ever did happen, it would be a madhouse. As I previously stated, I had never seen this topic mentioned in ANY of the 10 forums I have been in over the course of my 14 years of reading Filipino forums. Why is it that when I step out and make a legitimately innocent comment , I always get slammed? Edited April 28, 2019 by Rayj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
