Hi Manila_Paul, when you get to my age it's easy to adapt but my main motivation is love. I'm so lucky to have found my fiance, she is woman in a million and I will do anything to make her happy. I seem to be the opposite to you, I could'nt live in Manila or even Davao City but out in Bago-Oshiro it's so stress free all be it a bit primative to western standards but that I can cope with.
