As a citizen of the United States I can pretty much go anywhere in the world for 90 days, enough to build a yurt, court a girl, but not enough to be intrusive.
[though if she lets me impregnate her she and her family would be powerless; and if I have learn how to play the guitar and sing to her by moonlight it might not be worth the effort] If I were a citizen of the Philippines it would take a lot of time and effort just to get a tourist visa to a limited number of countries, because lots of countries don't want me to be intrusive. The screening process seems fine, but way slow, and my choices are limited. And all the filipinas have started dating the gringos . . . hmmm. I am glad to hold an American passport, where things are way easy. Anybody else have similar experiences in different countries?
