Conversation topics and tips
The best conversations come from genuine curiosity. These topics work especially well with people from the Philippines:
- Sports: Basketball is very popular – ask whether they play themselves or prefer to watch.
- Music: Karaoke is a great way in. Ask about their current favorite songs and get some recommendations.
- Food: Ask about Adobo – favorite dishes and family recipes get almost any conversation going.
- Respect: Save politics and religion for when you know each other a bit – and never judge a person by where they come from.
