Asia Pacific - August 2007

I think most Filipinos would instinctively say US ! when asked for their choice. But I have had lots of well-traveled Filipinos who, more often than not would have traveled to the US several times before they visit Australia for the first time, that they were pleasantly surprised and that they should have discovered Australia earlier. 2 of my Filipino friends are thinking of buying property here (Sydney)

Does this sound strange to you? Or are you open to the possibility that you could prefer Australia when you finally see our country?

Japan is now introducing a "jury" system, though it actually seems more like extending the 3 judge panel system by adding regular citizens (unlike for example in the U.S. when the jurors are separate deciders from the judge who kind of umpires the process)

I'm sure someone else has probably asked this as well, but I have noticed it too. Why when we see another foreigner in Japan do we ignore each other?

Granted, I live on a military base so my situation is different than say an english teacher or company worker who comes over here, but when I am no where near a base and see another foreigner, its like we both go out of the way to avoid each other. I can admit I do it too. But I usually don't think about it until afterwards.

I have been in this situation numerous times, and I feel guilty afterwards, like I should have made an effort to say hello, and wonder if they thought the same thing. What is your opinion on this?

Yahoo! Southeast Asia would like to recognize Answers members in the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore and asked to feature me to share a little about why I use Answers and what I've learnt from it.

I would like to grab this golden opportunity to raise legitimate issues with regards Y!A Philippines Travel that seem to have been overlooked by Y!A due to thousands and thousands of communications and abuse reports they receive.

I already have some points in mind; but, I do need more input and suggestions from Y!AP users. I was looking for Inday's and Sweetwater's proposal but can no longer find it. Papa Chuck's and other users’earlier suggestions:

Any more comments and suggestions or issues you might like Y!A to address?

Thanks in advance!
