Phillipino`s are ace, i was working with one on sakhalin island and it was so cold -20 or so. This poor bugger was shivering all day, and his hands were like blocks of ice, and for some reason he would only get his fingers in has pockets and the rest of his hands were sticking out, i kept motioning to push his hands in but he couldn`t, i even tried shouting slowly in english so he would understand (like you do) anyway this went on for days, in the end i put my hand in his pockets and realised his gloves which were in his pockets were stopping his hands going all the way in
i took them out threw them over the side of the platform, he was chuffed he could now get his hands in. I managed to keep a straight face but i think most let out a bit of wee.
