It is actually nice to watch to understand each other's culture more. hahaha some of them they learnt our language because there's too many Filipinos in UAE. I encountered a lot of Arabs that spoke Filipino and learnt few words of Arabic. They started to work in Sarao Jeepney on how to design and assemble the parts and ride in Jeepney public transport. They started to greet Filipinos that they encountered by greeting them 'Kamusta Ka?' (How are you?), Greetings! which mostly used here in Middle East. 'How are you?' 'keef Halak' in Arabic.
Their Filipino family teach them how to sing a Filipino folk song 'Bahay Kubo' and they teach their Filipino family a folk dance of Emirati. They also teach the tradition of Emirati on how to eat etc.
I watched the first two episodes. It's interesting to see everyday Emiratis, just like young people in any country, and how they are so keen to learn about another culture and forge connections that transcend culture or religion. I was expecting more about how it was to experience life in poverty, like if they stayed in a slum dwelling or something, but maybe that will come in later episodes.

I actually want to see that too, maybe they don't want them to experience that at once.
