We are here for a good time,not a long time,which has always been my dictum Well,a mixed bag of responses,at least they are a lot more realistic than I expected,some guys who have spent 2-3 weeks a year on vacation in Pinas think its a paradisical palm-tree fringed idyll,its not to be honest,Fred and several others are adaptable,I have met guys who became borderline alcoholics unable to function unless they breakfast on San-migs,met other retirees who revert to childhood and chase teenage girls the plcae has its problems the same as anywhere else,its just sometimes they are hidden by the smoke and mirrors,remember the Pinoy population is set to double within 25-30 years,things will change for better or worse,good luck to everyone with the cojones to at least try and live their own personal dreams
