Disrespect

[Reboot]

Nothing like a good case of the shits in a foreign country, only to be improved upon by a case of the pukes.

Respect is a two-way street.

When my wife's family comes to our house they seldom eat what I eat.  I do not see that as disrespect. I respect that they have different tastes. When I go to their houses I do not eat everything they eat. They respect that. We have mutual respect. It works just fine for us. The days of peer pressure were over many moons ago.

Why is it offensive to do something you don`t like? Isn`t it offensive for them to try to make you do it.I am all for respecting local laws and cultures but if it really is not your cup of tea why can`t you respectfully decline.I know my stomach and know what it can take so for me if I think it is going to cause me a problem then I wont do it  wether I upset people or not.

Here here! In my world respect is a two way street. Yes, it is their country and their culture, but it's only polite and ethical to respect another's. What I witnessed in the above video was a very rude family and the Filipina was way outta line. Too many respectful and polite Filipino families and Filipinas in this country. Nobody needs to accept that kind of treatment.

I only just watched the video now and really think he is rude. For sure he knows what it was and its only pork so why not eat a little and pretend you like it. More so learn something about the Philippines before even going on an adventure.

I was handed tap water in jollibee and pissed through my ass for a week!

Sure it was 'only' water.

Yes I'd have eaten it, cooked pork should be safe. However he is correct he does not have the same immune system as locals and maybe hes always picky with his food?

I've eaten dog, guinea pig, haggis, alligator, insects, ballot, chicken feet, durian, frog, llama, airag, all sorts, but its very easy to get sick eating food travelling, and people will also get offended if you say their food made you sick.

Depends how long ago it was cooked, a lot of times it can sit around at room temperature for hours.

The guy is areal wuss no doubt about that. Why he would even be in this country beats me. But I'd dump that gal and her family in a heartbeat.  That relationship is going nowhere but downhill.
