Culture Shock
About the Substack
I’m half-British, half-Filipino. Meaning I drink tea with fish and rice, say “blimey”, and use a “tabo”. Follow my comedy of errors.
About Dan Abbey
British-Filipino writer and artist, living in Manila, reminiscing the 80s and 90s. Wild times. Fun times.

The Half Filip
A newsletter for mango lovers (and haters), from a Filipino-Yugoslavian Florida Cracker who loves food.
Looking Inward: No More FOMO
I like writing about my memories. Words written ring truer somehow than those spoken, and there’s a ring of real promise to written words. For me, it's harder to tell lies in writing. And lies can be terrible things to live with.
Hack the Diaspora: Oliver Segovia's Newsletter
I chronicle technological progress in Southeast Asia, where commerce, communities, and capital collide. Mostly about Singapore and the Philippines. A lot on Facebook's impact in Asia. By day, I work at Google.
The Life We're Seeking For
The Internet is messy and distracting, and this newsletter is contemplative reading. Every Sunday morning, get my bookish reflections spanning art, poetry, literature and other tendrils of our search for truth, beauty, and goodness.
