Check out this video of 2 Americans trying to get passengers in their taxi. What's funny is they are doing it in the Philippines a very poor country. And no one wanted to ride their taxi.
They have been in the country for 7 seven years now doing odd jobs because of recession. I don't believe it's because of recession though. I think they're just doing it for fun or adventure maybe. Anyways, watch the video for laughs.

I've watched the video and it really was hilarious. It was also cool to watch Americans work here in the Philippines as more Filipinos work in the US. Anyway, I just have an issue with what you said in your discussion. You're a Filipino right? Then why do you demean your country? Why did you say that "the Philippines is a very poor country"? Now I know some would say that it's the truth kind of crap, but as citizens, we should take pride in our own country right? Indeed, we are a developing country, but I believe we don't qualify in your "very poor country" classification because our economy is surely progressing. I'm sorry for the rant, but it really pains me to see a Filipino outrightly and blatantly say how poor her country is through the internet where a lot of people from different countries could see. You know the reason why we can't maximize our potential and fully progress as a country? It's because of negative people who think poorly of our state and our economy.

HI Jerikjames, I admire your patriotism. Please don't be offended by the words "one of the poorest countries". I was merely stating a fact and not demeaning anyone. Don't give power to words. You are the only one who can make words hurtful or not. Nevertheless, I apologize that I have hurt you. I never intended anything by it.

Oh! i haven't seen one do far. But i have seen an American reading tarot cards near the church. He looked so poor and pitiful. Whenever some of his fellow Americans pass by he seemed to be shy or embarrassed.
