A Brit in the Philippines

[Ako Si Jamie]

Video log of a Brit who decides to retire to the Philippines on his own.

Looks interesting. I've only watched one of his video's so far which was filmed in the UK before he went over (below) - but he's uploaded quite a few more video's to his channel.

I've just watched another of his video's. This vlog is excellent. :xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:

[primdale]

Been watching his vids for the past couple of weeks :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[tiger31]

Me too, he sounds a decent guy living on a small budget from his house rental

[fred]

Had to laugh..Sounded like he said he needed to rent his asss out to live in the Philippines!! :cwm25:
Good videos..Thanks.

Looks interesting.

I've just re-discovered youtube using my Xbox internet connection. Marvellous on the big telly, so will have a view of some more videos of his. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Did you see the video where he talks about his mate Malcolm who went over to Thailand and brought back a girl and the relationship lasted three days. He then returned to Thailand to bring back another and that one lasted three months. Ouch!

[grahamw48]

Not seen that one yet.

Sounds like his mate was shopping round the bars to me...for his holiday mates. :wink:

[London_Manila]

Very interesting and just the kind of thing I plan to do in the future :smile:

[Ako Si Jamie]

New video uploaded where he interviews a fellow Brit who has met a Filipina and plans to move to the Phils permanently.

Yes, I have been watching Chris's videos since his first one. Tried to give him some suggestions re video as he has just started doing it this year.

He is living on $575 per month and has managed to do it so far.... so fair play to him.

A nice guy... a bit dopey at times but still a nice guy !

Yes he can live very comfortably on that amount, Maritess and I managed very well on a similar amount and anything above that we saved :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Frankly I find his videos a bit tedious and boring..Watching him walk five minutes to interview a sari sari store owner was about as exciting as watching paint dry.

Nice enough fella though.

[Dedworth]

Thanks Jamie I'll have a look sometime

You did ! Well you are a better man than me. My monthly rent was about that :cwm25: Mind you, I was living in Makati :Hellooo:

I'm not keen on roughing it these days !! But I admire anyone that can :icon_sorry:

That's about £365 a month, I spend much more than that down the pub every month :Beer:

I wouldn't rough it either, had a brand new apartment in Dumaguete Php 8000 per month. :xxgrinning--00xx3:That's about £30 p/w yup? What was the minimum length of stay at that price ?

[grahamw48]

I only pay 2,500 pesos a month for the apartment we rent in the province. (No fixed rental period). :smile:

It was brand new when we first rented it last year.

It was brand new when we first rented it last year.I remember you saying. Absolute steal. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Yes. I'd be happy to pay more...but of course, too good to miss, and lovely landlady and neighbours too, as it turned out. :smile:

[fred]

The guy has been there 5 minutes and says he is gonna give away his "back up"money of 3,000 Quid to someone he just met!!
Nice gesture I`m sure but I reckon there will be trouble ahead. :NoNo:

[grahamw48]

The guy does come across as a bit of an 'innocent abroad', but I'm trying to keep my big cynical gob shut. :biggrin:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Another PH Vlogger is an American called Burris who spent a year living and studying film and TV in Cebu, I think, so his video's are of a better quality but they're more about travel.

Exactly my thoughts Fred, well he calls himself a 'NUMPTY'.

Renewable 12 month contract! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Carter goes to Angeles. Behave yourself there, son.
