There are more Europeans and Americans than Asians on Postcrossing. I do not expect that I can receive postcard from Asian country that soon. The first five come in a batch. So this one is actually the second batch. Philippines is our neighbour country in the south but which is unfamiliar to us. In fact, Taiwanese education teach us so little about our neighbours. Many people do not know that Philippines speak Tagalog and other local language as Indigenous Taiwanese in Austronesian group. Philippines must also be a cultured country worthy to visit.

在交換明信片網站中,以歐洲和美洲的參與者較多。我並沒有期待會這麼快收到亞洲國家的明信片。頭五張是一批一次來的,所以這一張倒成了二批。菲律賓,這個南方的鄰居國家,雖然靠得很近,但我們並不熟悉。事實上,臺灣的教育,很詭異的往北看,教的東西異常的少。很多人甚至不知道菲律賓人有在地的他加祿語和方言,還以菲籍僱傭全都講英文。而且那些語言還和臺灣原住民一樣,都是南島語系的一支。菲律賓的文化應該也很值得去拜訪,多去了解這個鄰國。
