Occasionally I go to a bar run by an Aussie about 15 mins away which is full of all nationalities..We always have a good laugh, a few games of pool etc etc and I am glad to have met some really nice people there..There are a couple of guys there that are a little arrogant and rude but as I ignore them its not really an issue.
I usually drink at home but most Filipino`s in our Barrio do not speak English very well (if at all) and I find it gets a little boring after the first bottle of Tanduay..
I dont get too precious about the pro`s and cons of meeting other foreigners..
If the company is good then why should I?
When I lived here in the early 80`s I lived and worked in areas frequented by other expats.. I made some very good friends back then that (expat and Filipino)I am in contact with to this day..
All in all..No regrets!
