In the philippines Last year, I went to the philippines for the first time in my life. It was my first travel abroad. Actually I was going to study English there for 3 months but I also made up my mind to travel a lot in the philippines because I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The day I arrived in Cebu was extremely hot and so I almost died because I was wearing a sweater. After I arrived at an English language institute I was going to stay in as fast as possible, I exchanged greetings with a lot of strangers and indeed it made me exhausted. That night, I was bitten by mosquitoes even seven times and there were neither any fans nor an air conditioner in my room. Furthermore, I found a cockroach in the room, even though it was on the sixth floor. That situation was enough to make me feel like going back home, but I just changed my room and I started fitting in with many strangers and awful situation.
