I was in the Phillipines about 2 years ago for studying English. I stayed there for 2 months.

Before I went there,  I thought I would die  because I heard it was dangerous but I chose there because of the price, also I have never been there so I wanted to try to go there.

we don't usually use "there" as the subject of a verb, e.g. "there was dangerous" sounds strange. "there" can usually be used as the object of a verb e.g. "I chose there".

When I arrived in the Philippines and went to the ESL school, it was completely new views that I've never seen before.

I was kind of shocked about what their situation. I felt also humid than I expected. 

My first room mates were Korean and I was happy because I love Korea.

However I faced a difference in culture between Korea and Japan. For example, our school's rule was if we used an air conditioner above their temperature, we have to pay extra for it, so I really cared about how I should save the electricity as much as I could but my roommates, Korean, they really didn't care about it even though they might have to pay more, so I told them what I wanted to do but finally they couldn't understand me.

I changed my room mate with a Japanese room mate, she was also tried to save the electricity for us.

I thought it was only me that cared about that but I heard most of the Koreans in our school, they didn't care about paying for extra electricity fee.

"about paying" - a verb is always in the "-ing" form after a preposition

I thought it was really interesting because most of Japanese tried to save it.

I think there is no correction, pay for comfortable or not. I think Japanese think "extra fee" is really waste of money but Koreans think that feeling good is a priority so they don't think that is "waste".

I felt it was very good opportunity that I could know about Korean culture more.

Besides, I hung out with Korean friends many times and tried to go to many places in the Philippines, then I realized that it was actually not so dangerous as I expected, rather I really like there and now, I really want to go back there again.

Many people are kind and funny!
