Trying to narrow down 1 place to live in the phils is very hard.
On each visit I find a stunning new location.
Think that the more you explore the harder the choice becomes.
The GF loves travelling around and would be happy to settle anywhere.
I was watching Micheal Palin last night, he was in the phils and showed 4 or so places approx 10 yrs ago and it looks like very little has changed to date.
