All things Pinoy

Foreigner officemate: "Hey Lester, have you been to Worldwide Plaza?"

Lester: "Nope. Why? What's to see there?"

Foreigner officemate: "All things Filipino!"

Lester: "Really?"

Foreigner officemate: "Yes! From Filipino magazines, Filipino food... they even gave me pannasan for free when I went there."

Lester: "Pannasan?"

Foreigner officemate: "It's a kind of bread that's small, but tastes really good."

Lester: "Oh, Pan de Sal!"

Foreigner officemate 2: "What's Pan de Sal?"

Lester: "It's a popular bread in the Philippines. It comes from the Spanish words 'Pan' meaning 'bread' and 'sal" meaning 'salt'. So technically, Pan de Sal is salted bread."

Foreigner officemate: "You know, you should go and check out Worldwide Plaza. But don't go there on a Sunday. That's the busiest and most crowded time."

*end of conversation*

Today is a Sunday. And i'm here at the Worldwide Plaza...
