Tokyo, Japan. For me Tokyo is a city of towering buildings filled with endless possibilities. Its districts offer a labyrinthine maze of streets crowded with restaurants, cafes, pubs, gaming centers, karaoke clubs and pachinko parlours.

Do you like to visit Iloilo, Philippines for cultural immersion?


Yes, I would visit there to identify myself on the people, customs and culture. I believe that the more knowledge of each other's cultures helps us to become a more nurturing and loving world.

- Avanti Page, Sri Lanka 



If you can make a nickname for your country, what would you call your country and why?


The nickname I'd give Trinidad and Tobago is 'The Mix' simply because we are diverse mix with different cultures, traditions, races and creeds that make us one nation. We accept all and refuse none. We are a people that is kind and loving and embracing. We also are a people that is open to other cultures that's are not ours.

- Jevon King, Trinidad and Tobago



(Happy Naija) because in all situation or crisis we still find a way to remain happy.

-Abena Appiah, Ghana


My nickname pour Haiti is... Cherie Doudou!!! because of the kindness of my people, their smiles, the beauty of Haiti is a "Perle Rare"

- Christie Desir, Haiti


I might steal South Korea’s nickname ‘Land of the morning calm’, because of Sri Lanka’s spellbinding natural beauty from picturesque mountains to clear waters and its splendid tranquility, particularly during sunrise. You would experience this first hand if you have ever woken up to a view of Sri Lanka’s finest beach destinations.

- Avanti Page, Sri Lanka




What food best represents your country? 


It's Mote Hin Gar you should try. Mont Hin Gar is a traditional Burmese dish. It is some kind of a fish soup with rice noodle - very fresh and very tasty and healthy food. I bet you won't forget Myanmar ever once you try it.

- Sharr Htut Eaindra, Myanmar



The food that best represents Trinidad and Tobago are far too many to count I can give a few examples, our callaloo, pepper pot, ground provisions and salt fish, our dhalpree and buss up shut with all the different spices as well as our doubles and bake and shark. We have a mix of culture in our food also, so it's difficult to point out one food that represents Trinidad and Tobago.

- Jevon King, Trinidad and Tobago


The food that best represent us is affang soup with eba(garri), that’s because all tribe love the food and enjoy it and the food looks like our flag lol (green and white), if you visit Nigeria, Calabar to be precise please order for it and I would happily prepare it for you if you don’t mind.

- Queen Celestine, Nigeria


Funchi would be a typical dish which is made out of corn and is served with either fish or soup. I invite you all to come visit Aruba so you can enjoy our delicious dishes!

- Digene Zimmerman, Aruba



Every food is unique but Banku & Tilapia is fine...lol

- Abena Appiah, Ghana


The Best food representing Haiti is: " Du Riz ak pois, Griot" The National Rice And Beans, Griot"

Philippine Cyber Law Too Stringent Restrictive Curtails Freedom of Expression?

Is the Philippine Cyber Law which was passed and signed into law by President Benigno S. Aquino III this September 2012 too restrictive too stringent? Included are libel, online theft, online squatting and cyber sex. The crime libel online which is not punishable by law is fine with me on grave abuse and misconduct destroying the reputation and dignity of a specific individual, group, organization or institution. But should cyber sex should be included in the cyber law to be punishable by law? I don't condone nor against cyber sex but the cyber law penalizing this act is too much and deemed excessive not only by the people in the Philippines but all throughout the world and even international cyber crime law experts won't agree on this. Yeah they would reason out immorality but I have some points to tackle: How is it immoral to do it online when prostitution by real flesh itself is more immoral and not penalized in the country and they cannot even solve, regulate and control prostitution in the Philippines? Penalizing anyone committing cyber sex is depriving people of their freedom regardless of their religion or orientation. Not everyone are Christians or Muslims or religious. Some are non religious or atheist. This is a democratic country where everyone are FREE to make their choices but comes with freedom is a responsible choice however this one deprive people of their freedom of choice, and one specific group or organization cannot say this is immoral as there are more out there which are far worse than this when it comes to immorality beside this does not spread diseases as it is only done online. Some provisions in the new cyber crime law should be amended. 

             If you're against Cyber Martial Law please change your facebook or social medial profile pic to BLACK and make your website background color to black... Thanks 
             Today the Cyber Crime Prevention Act of 2012 will be implemented today unless it is declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. 
             Department of Justice Secretary Leila de Lima has this to say: “Right now we have the law and it is our duty to implement it unless declared unconstitutional by the SC or amended by Congress. Any power or authority granted by the law to Department of Justice and secretary of Justice will be exercised judiciously and prudently, within the standards or parameters set forth in the law and with due regard to fundamental, human rights of individuals.”  
             Under the law, the DoJ has the authority to restrict or block access to computer data found to have prima facie violation of cyber crimes defined in RA 10175. A petition has been filed with the SC seeking to declare unconstitutional certain provisions of RA 10175, as of the last count there are six in total.
