West End: After years of U.S influence, specially from military camps, people in Philippines adopted softball as a traditional pastime. Played firstly among women and then with the increasing presence of men, national teams have done really well in Asian regional tournaments, making this discipline a real matter of sport pride which can be found from Manila to Barcelona's philippine community at the end of the west.

Stressy Relief: On the sand of a very populous beach like Platja de la Barceloneta in Barcelona Spain, women from Thailand live out of giving massages to those who feel like they are there to make them be relaxed and unstressed. The curious irony is that these apparently relaxing massages are done by stressed informal beach-workers who are constantly aware of police and the fines they should pay for such a stressful stress remedy.
