I lived even more Rural than that in Bicol when we went bust here back then..I was 21 years old and quite enjoyed it for just over a year.. The Carzy was a hole in the ground and the wash room had a hand pump that was a bugger to prime.. The two old women fed me rice and gabbi leaves cooked in Gata everyday and if I was lucky the local drunks would invite me over for a free gallon of Tuba!
Good ole days!! Learned a lot about life at that time.

That Yank is living a life of luxury!
He must be rich living in a house as big as that!!
