Dubrovnik

I had mixed feelings about visiting Dubrovnik, but was pleasantly surprised in the end. Pre-Covid it had become a prime example of over tourism, with vast numbers of cruise ship passengers and other visitors swamping the Old Town. Though very busy on a Saturday in early June 2023 it was reasonably straightforward to avoid the masses, by venturing down the backstreets or visiting the quiet…

GUYS WHAT THE HELL IS TAUHANG TATSULOK FILO MOOTS HELP

#ik lapad and bilog but whats tatsulok help

[daramdarararam]

Nagtry ako sumakay sa modern jeepney. Hindi ako natuwa. Front seat ako kanina,pero hindi ako komportable sa upuan ko, sumakit ang balakang ko. Ansakit sa ulo ng AC, or baka masakit na talaga ulo ko kanina ?... Ang tagal pa umalis, super pinupuno ??? wala bang passenger limit yon ?? kasi pasakay pa ng pasakay along the way e, mga matatanda patatayuin nyo?? Pano pag hindi na kaya ng lamig ? edi ang inet ?? Hindi nakakamodern kung hindi komportable ang pasahero. Feel ko, mas hindi okay ang experience kapag punong-puno doon mismo sa loob ng jeep na yon. Tangina dikit dikit. Mayghadd!! Okay siguro if hindi masyadong madami ang pasahero.

Traditional jeepneys pa rin ako, mas mura pa pamasahe. Mas okay pa air ventilation. Legit, ansakit ng likod ko. Okay sana if isa lang sa unahan eh, kaso pinilit na dalawa, nasa may window seat ako sa front, may sandalan, ung katabi ko wala. Haynako. Okay lang dalawa sa unahan, if sa traditional na jeep kasi, mas malaki leg space don, mas naiituwid mo paa mo?? sobrang lapad din kasi ng balikat ko, parang hanger!!! Ansakit talaga hays.

kaya tamaa!! suportahan ang mass transport strike!! hindi sila ang problema!!

NO TO JEEPNEY PHASEOUT!!!

NO TO PUV PHASEOUT!!!!

YES TO BETTER PUBLIC TRANSPORT!!!!

INUTIL SI MARCOS!

Note: Filipino diaspora gallore, self indulgent, Getou is sort of based on me [racially ambiguous + raised up in a multicultural country], unedited (I typed this on my phone)

Not even twenty-four hours since I watched jjk and I'm already feeling inspired wow. I've been enabled by the equally chaotic @stigandr-the-cat to write this and check out @wynncrites version of Filipino AU! Getou

I love that my last post for the year will be something from one of my cultures!

Filipino! Getou is born to a Filipina mother who went to Japan for work, eventuallymeeting his Japanese Father. Being one of the Filipinos at the time his mother volunteered to help at the embassy when she became a stay at home wife/mom.

Because there were less Filipino speakers at the time, young Getou was dragged along to volunteer day at the embassy where Filipino workers who waited to go home would babysit him.

That's how he informally learnt Tagalog, and and a dialect used in the northern Philippines called Ilocano! Multilingual Getou let's go!

Getou and his mother visits extended family in Philippines with gifts from Japan. When he was a kid he would beg his mom to take him yo shopping trips where they'd buy presents or in Tagalog 'pasalubong'

However with time, and seeing how his relatives treated his poor mother and only loved them because of lapad he slowly starts hating his family. Or starts seeing the bad in all of them, even if he wanted to ignore it or try to count how many good things they've done, he can't help but see them like that.

[Lapad: Filipinos with relatives working in Japan use this to call Japanese Yen because when stacked together they look a mini wood plank]

No one is ever convinced when Getou says he's half Filipino when in the Philippines.

Speaks the language well, but because he doesn't look *filipino enough* people or his relatives invite themselves to speak shit in front of him.

Them: *noticing getou just there in the room* fo you think he understands Tagalog?

I dunno, go ask him

Hey you, you there. You speak Tagalog?

Getou: 'di masyado' not much

[This happens to many times and he's used to it by now]

His guilty pleasure? Eating with his hands and one foot propped up on the chair. The southeast asian pose as tiktok calls it.

One time he invited Satoru to study at his place and Getou's mom being happy that her son started bringing his friends home made sure that Satoru ate well.

Hwr intentions were well, but now Satoru always hovers over him when he opens his bento hoping that it's rice and adobo (or caldereta, Toscino, Beefsteak, etc)

Or Gojo always asks when he can come over to eat with them. It's a compliment to Getou's mom, to him? It's a bother.

'Look,' he says to Gojo as he gives him his bowl of adobo with more extra peppercorns, 'You don't have to ask me. Its annoying. You ate here once, you're always welcome here now. Asking is too repetitive'

[Referring to kain culture, where anyone is welcome to eat at your house or when a person looking for you finds you eating at home you invite them. And I just had to add my mom always feeding everyone of my friends despite cultural differences!]

Additionally, Getou in the Philippines would include:

Being treated like an entertainment piece where his relatives would ask him to give them a sample of Japanese and/or the languages he knows. All them going wow when they hear said language despite not knowing it.

[Experiencing this was such a pain]

Following his mom to markets with the basket in hand because he's just so fascinated. One time he brought a camera with him to take pictures with to show Satoru back home.

Is always excited to ride a jeepney, pedicab and more. Definitely asked his mom once if he could hang at the back of the jeepney ... the jeepney was empty

[Commuters hang at the side of the jeepneys when the inside is full during rush hour to get home. Funfact: jeepneys were left by American soldiers in the Philippines]

Asks his mom for spare change or barya to buy soda. And then asks the shopkeeper to put the soda in the plastic bag!

[In the Philippines and other southeast asian nations they pour drinks in narrow plastic bags with a straw! An experience I recommend]

Because he's half Japanese and has all the looks, he's automatically made the godparent or ninong for every kid born in his extended family or around the area he lives.

Would ask his mom if he could pursue his uni studies in the Philippines to feel beyond the culture he already knows and experience life there.

It's getting long wow, might make a part 2! But thank you for reading all of this, I hope you enjoyed this ❤️

Dubrovnik day 1 -

We awoke and took in the views from the balcony. Becca went on a run to the top of the main hill in Dubrovnik while the rest of us lazed about. On her return we headed for the old town to do the “wall walk” (walking along all the fortified walls around the old city). This was listed as a “must do” in Dubrovnik pretty much everywhere but we were a bit surprised at the high prices when walking up to the ticket desk. Thankfully the guy took pity on us and told us after asking everyones ages and us truthfully saying the twins were 7, “those two are 6 today if anyone asks” and thus saving us the price of 2 more tickets. The wall walk was very scenic, slightly crowded and pretty darn hot (as Luka had warned us, so we brought lots of water). Soon after starting we met a family from LA with 2 kids of similar ages to ours and a dad named Matt (we keep meeting Matts everywhere this trip!). We had a good time talking to them a bit while exploring the wall and were particularly excited to see a basketball court with a strange bend in to fit it all in as well as some soccer goals down below. Our LA friends told us they were staying right by there and as far as they knew it was a free public court open to all comers. We then completed the wall walk loop in the heat with the requisite medium amount of child whining. Afterwards, we got gelato at Peppinos to celebrate and checked out the main drag in Dubrovnik and did some souvenir hunting as well. We then headed back to our place and changed into beach gear and checked out Banje beach which was just down the hill from our place and turned out to be rocky/pebbly (as most beaches here are) but otherwise super-nice. We relaxed/swam/played there for a few hours then hit the showers at our place (Matt also slickly negotiated a speedboat rental for the next day on the way home, talked the guy down by 80 euros but still didn't impress his shrewd negotiator of a wife). After rinsing off, we grabbed the soccer ball and headed out to find the free court we’d seen earlier. After only one wrong turn we located the correct court up a considerable amount of stairs and were surprised to find it empty despite it cooling off a bit in the evening and now being in the shade. We had a rousing game of soccer in which the parents clearly demonstrated their superior soccer ability to the children, then called it a day after everyone was tired and drenched in sweat. We then caught a bus to the suburb of Lapad in search of a Japanese restaurant that Matt had read about in Lonely Planet. It turned out to have a new name, but we still found it and after some waffling by the host who told us initially there was no table, the eventually told us they could seat us so long as we were done by 8:30 (it was 6:45ish on seating). We easily accomplished this time window and all enjoyed a variety of tasty sushi/noodle/curry/gyoza dishes which were a welcome change of pace after 2+ weeks of tomato/cheese/carb based meals. We then caught the bus home and tried to call it an early-ish night but still ended up getting kids down around 10 pm (the European lifestyle is rubbing off).

Ako, na hinihimas-himas yung rolling pin naming matigas at katamtaman ang lapad (perfect for handjob) every time i do dishwashing duty every morning, the soap suds i'll imagine them as pre seeping from the angry red tip:

Sis— 😳💀😭 Ganyan rin utak ko honestly.

Bawat upo, higa, tayo. May paraan. MAY PARAAN! Bawat ligo, tulog, trabaho may scenario.
