Thanks - The school you mention is the one I am looking at at 60,000 a year with some discount for a year in advance. I have tried my best to over estimate the costs for food etc and appreciate your input that shows I may have a little more surplus. 10,000 for elec may be a little low as I will need AC for the first year until I acclimatise. Ha ha you girls are always so keen to see us long noses married off. For reason I can not explain here it is imported that I get the SRRV as soon as possible when I get there and as I said is a cheaper option for me than a tourist. I am looking forward to living in Davao and certainly am not thinking paradise but I must admit to being a glass 1/2 full person. Hoping that 25,000 for a house will be top end, furnished for the first year - will move after 12 month to unfunished after I found my feet. Here is a total strange but honest question - what do the farmers do with the Caribou horn when the beast dies - are they used for anything else or just thrown away - (no need you you to know the answer to that question ha ha)

Tanga - Much appreciated - yes mind made up and lots of research made - will it be easy - no - bumpy road - yes - possible disasters yes - and you may well be able to say "told you so". Come and visit later – welcome
