      @@buildingthephilippines Yah, even here in southern Shikoku, Japan, I always wear a hat and long-sleeve shirts. Heat stroke is a serious risk in the summer months here as temperatures can reach low - mid 40s. But mid to high 30s are the norm with ultra-high humidity. People die each year from heat stroke. I can tell just from watching your videos, it looks very hot 🥵 there, but love the blue sky!

Outside in the sun, it’s 18C. So warmer outside than inside! I open my doors and windows to let the HEAT IN this time of year! Amping David.

    Hi U2👋Agreed 100%👍. Everyone benefits from local business both customer and the locals selling goods. You build a relationship, friendship, and knowledge about things you are purchasing. Knowledge is power and the key to life. Never stop learning something new. Blessings 🙏🌺🌼🌸

    I hope the Philippines stays that way with the mom and pop businesses. USA is all franchised businesses and it’s not good. Less and less business owners. Then the few large corporations control and dictate to everyone and the people have no say so. Well I can tell you this. I’ll soon be your neighbor and I’ll be doing everything in my power to support those little stores over there 😊
