    We discuss this topic all the time - I sometimes think moving East will be a two fold excuse - work out there as a consultant and live an easy life - wife prefers Manila but as we have both lived in Kuala Lumpur I have to say that is clean, easy to communicate and accessible to all of asia.
    The exchange rate at 5:1 roughly means you get a fair bit for your money - having lived there for a year I felt safe, happy and felt I fitted in both personally and professionally.

    Whatever happens - Like you Peter we wont stay in the UK forever and maybe we will go to Iloilo - whatever happens we will be buying a property there next year.

    I am not sure if this helps anyone but Western Union are doing NO FEE transactions until 30 Nov
    to Phils -
