I am on the plane flying to our first TGC meeting in DC....and I am reading a book about the Philippines called The Green Tiger. It explores the ecological changes in the Philippines over the last 50 or so years. I am struck by this work 'naninibago'. It's a Tagalog word for getting a sense of a new place. I like it so much. Why don't we have a word for this in the English language? It's fascinating. I will use this word more. It makes sense to me.
