The Philippines has some of the world's best beaches and dive spots but the cuisine is... uninspiring. Been there…
There is no cooking like mama’s cooking regardless of country. ❤️ Much of the cooking segments dealt with the history of Filipino cooking and how it’s been adapted to various impacts on their society. How sauces and dips are made with local ingredients. I’m always interested in how people cook and use what they have.
I can see why they were put in the box (haha). All the kids died because of Mao's stupid policies. The Red Guards…
Sorry I had to go the long way to get here.
The jailing and torturing of the doctors and professors were short-sighted at best. Youthful enthusiasm and political idealism are not terribly practical at stopping loss of blood or curing diseases. It took a special tenacity for this family to make the decision "to live" in the face of so much tragedy and heartache.
I'm surprised anyone read this, can't believe how much I wrote. I've learned to write shorter reviews. 😄Thanks for the comment. ^^
It took me almost a month to watch it, a record for me. I can crush a 40 episode drama in a matter of a few days…
I’ve had people make fun of my native tongue accent before so I’m still underwater on this subject. 😄
I do really appreciate your insight. 🙏🏻💕 I have a terrible ear for languages so I can’t tell when Mandarin is being spoken properly or pretty much any language.
"40 episodes of the nice being nice to the nice"I got rashes just reading that. Thanks - now I am 100pct glad…
It took me almost a month to watch it, a record for me. I can crush a 40 episode drama in a matter of a few days if motivated. MY was soothing to watch before bed but two episodes a day was the most I could handle.
Yes and the characters are opaque and there are lots of words beneath the words. It doesn’t help they didn’t…
Most dramas can't afford big war scenes. One of the first things I learned when characters were talking about thousands of soldiers and there were only 12 guys standing around. Or the same shots were used multiple times for different battles. I've learned to multiply the cast in my head or fill in the blanks. ^^

Yeah, on my rating scale I don’t give 10s so 8 is a strong score for me. It was a soothing drama.
