While traveling, I experienced something interesting. I won’t try to stretch this example out too far to talk about the German and French airbus airplane that brought me there or the Italian coffee I was drinking.
While in Doha airport, Qatar, I purchased a coffee from Costa Coffee (english) from two Filipino girls whom I noticed speaking Tagalog, the Filipino national language.
Thomas L. Friedman would be proud! This world is truly going global. I don’t recall him talking about the Philippines in his book, but in a country in which an estimated 88 million people live, there are 8 - 11 million Filipinos living around the world, sending an estimated $14 billion home this year (according to Wikipedia).
