I have watched a series of videos from a famous uploader on YouTube. He is from Israel and graduated from Harvard. One of the videos that impressed me the most is clips introducing the Philippines. He said if let him choose a country to live in, the most suitable country is the Philippines. The reasons are the following three: first off, there is beautiful scenery in the country. Secondly, the stuff in the Philippines is very cheap. Third, people in the Philippines all speak English. I have never been to the Philippines. I didn't know if he was telling the truth. Anyway, if I had time, I would go there to verify the matter. Is that possible? Who knows?
