We KNEW the mentality of the locals in the direction of us. We settle for we are ''visitors'' interior the PI.

That we inject desperately mandatory money into the close by financial gadget capacity not something and because maximum folk of the persons around you may in no way have heard of , not to point comprehend that venture, why even hassle attempting to describe it because of fact the full thought is a few distance above the widely used Filipinos comprehension besides? like it or leave it mate, you made the mattress,-------- now lie in it.

The only advantage is the low cost of living in Philippines. I find the local people not so friendly towards Americans. Lots of name-calling when they think you don't understand their language. Manila is the worst. Daily discomforts and inconveniences that modern countries would never tolerate are an accepted way of life in PI. Yep, it's gotta be just the cost of living there that attracts most of us. Don't get me wrong....I know there are some decent and good people there and certainly deserving of a better life. I am just giving my own opinion and observations here, not hating on anybody.

You are too lucky to have a taste of the different dishes here as well as have a chance to see the different beautiful spots here in the Philippines as well as the underwater diving if you know how to go on sea diving. You will meet different kinds of people from all walks of life if you know how to mingle with the poor ones also. And of course, your money will be plenty when converted into our Philippine currency.
Enjoy!!!!!

Filipinos are generally helpful, welcoming and hospitable to their guests- be it a local or a foreigner. Truth is, the best part of being an expat in the Phils. is YOU NEVER FEEL LIKE AN EXPAT. You are one of them, you belong!
BTW, Just me - so it's "sex with the locals" huh? Yeah, it's JUST YOU! Definitely, just you!

You'll be regarded by the locals with high esteem. That's how hospitable we are. In most cases, that virtue is being misunderstood and abused by many.

You always ask interesting questions.
Well, shopping is good because prices are not expensive.
Cost of living is low.
I can start a business if I want to.
I am thinking about it but I am not sure because I want to know what i am getting myself into. I don't want to jump into a pool of sharks.
The Hospitality service that I get during my stay here.
I am very humble so I do not act high and mighty because of money.
Cheap sam miguel beer and Red horse.
Red horse is too strong for me because I don't drink alcohol beverages often.
I have my own personal driver who will take me where ever I want to go at any time.
So much more.
