Ive never been to Bacolod but there are a few places and situations that I can do without at my age.. I used to live in Paranaque in a sub division and it was not too bad back then and karaoke machines were not such an issue.. We were there for about 3 years but that was a long time ago and to be honest I dont know if that life would suit me anymore..
Depends on your situation but surely there must be quieter areas around to rent in?
Here in Bohol there is only one posh sub division but most expats I know own or rent bungalows well away from neighbours.. My nearest neighbour is an Aussie,(50 meters away) and beyond that the closest nipa hut from us is 300 meters.. We avoid going to town too often but its only 15 mins away if we need to..
Cant you find something a bit more secluded there in Bacolod?
