To fulfill your curiosity.....Davao City is generally a good place to live in. It does not have all the modernities Manila can offer to foreigners and tourists, but it is keeping up.

And there are thousands of foreigners living comfortably here in Davao. Many of them have even put up businesses that represent their places abroad like, there're pubs and restaurants here that are owned by Australians, a French Haute Restaurant owned by, who else, but a Frenchman! There are also several Indian clubs here serving Indian specialties complete with.....what do you call that tall vessel with a pipe connected to it which is passed around to the seated men where they puff a smoke with it? And, yes, there are Thai, Chinese, Korean, Japanese restaurants that thrive here in Davao. Even an Italian wine house and a Spanish steak house are doing well here in Davao. And all these are owned and operated by foreigners who have found Davao City their home and Paradise.

It is okay to live in Davao. Even foreigners here can blend well with the locals. You will not be making any major cultural adjustments here.

Hope I've lessened your curiosity about Davao, George!

:D

Hi Curious George.

I lived in Davao for about 6 months (I'm from the US). Davao is a lot cleaner than Manila. There are nice places to visit and as someone already mentioned, the traffic is not that bad.

I hope you will enjoy living there.

Take care!
