Read up to date reports of costs. Most say at least £700 to live ok and about double that to live well.

Yes, I have lived there and my costs were soooo much higher than that. Yes, it was in Manila. Personally, I don't want to live in a nipa hut eating local produce only. Good luck to those that can
We had a brand new two bedroom apartment Rent was p8000 per month and I won't eat local food, I ate almost everything I eat at home in UK, Bacon and egg, roast dinners with yorkshire pudding also found Camp coffee, Potatoes, baked beans ect!
