suburbs/city girl from the philippines for,,,, pretty much all of my life, frankly. if you want a solid map marker, i'd definitely recommend asking anyone who isn't me because me and directional geography don't mix at all wheeze. VERY urban are as a whole, but not the most modernist / "citylike" of all the options you'd find in the country. solid in between of "city full of malls, commute stops, and poor air quality wherever you go" and "very chill cul-de-sac homely suburb village with its own grocery store, several mini local businesses, what have you". explains a lot tbh.

been to a bunch of places around the world, all as a tourist—japan, hong kong, thailand, indonesia, the good ol' US of A, england, france, so on—but never properly "lived" in any of those places if that makes sense? i ALMOST got a chance to study in the czech republic for a term abroad in uni, but then 2020 happened, so any plans for that went out the window.

buuuuut ask me this question again in around 4-5 years or so and i guarantee you my answer will be rlly heckin' different for Reasons(TM) that can best be summated to "2020 onwards has just been a wild set of years"
