Well done Tiger for expressing your views and experience in an open and honest way
It's easy for me to see how day-to-day life in such a different country, environment and culture can become an issue.
Especially if managing with the food/diet becomes so difficult and irksome.
For those who have never lived in a different place I would back up what you've described Tiger, and say to anyone, forget what you imagine, think or believe; don't even consider a lock, stock & barrel move, without first spending enough time there to let the "new & fun bit" wear off.
Try to get under the skin of life in the Philippines as it really is.
In practical terms, if those little annoyancies, inconveniences and general BS start to really get to you, it'll only feel worse as time goes on unless you're able to make a very significant internal change.
It's good for folks to understand from someone who's been there, done it and got the T-shirt to realise that such a move can be hard enough without discovering half-way down the road that it was all a mistake, and then having to reverse the whole process.
Good man
