“Finally, the Philippines has a large ex-pat community. Worth investigating.”
I have been here for 15 months now, and very happy.
It is all in attitude. If you can adjust to a third world country you can be quite happy.
I live here with my Philippine girlfriend, at a beach in a nice little town on Cebu. It cost us about $500 a month to live, including rent, food, plenty of wine, internet...everything.
I do, however, avoid other expats. Many of them are real slobs, but we do have enough expat friends.
Thanks for the info. I’m VERY interested in the Philippines (er, uh, as well as acquiring a Philippina girlfriend myself!) and would be interested in e-mailing you again in the near future for more information. Many thanks!
Glad to read that things are going well in the Phillipines. Are you getting Rush 24/7?
