Went to my regular Mexican place the other day and the waiter starts rattling off Spanish to my wife. My wife is Pilipino.
She didn't know what was going on and replied with the handful of words she knows. I was LMAO internally.
I find the simarities between the Phillipines and Mexico pretty interesting. I guess being fucked by the Spaniards will do that to cultures.
Like what? I've barely known any Mexicans and am just now learning about Filipinos. Great cultures in either case.
We have a fair bit of shared last names and words.
I do hear a good bit of Spanish when my wife is speaking Tagalog. Don't know why I found that surprising. And yes, both her maiden and middle names are Spanish.
Funny how people expect them to have "foreign" names. Nah. It's all, Amy and Rob and Antonio and Phillip and such.
