On a scale from 1 to 10
My honest opinion of the Phils in what regard?
As a resident ?
Or as a tourist ?
Two people went for 1 out of 10. I wonder who they were?![]()
Oops I hit the number 1 button. Guess us chaps living in the Philippines ain't that clever!
Perhaps we should scrap this. It's giving out the wrong readings.
It wasn't me ! I think I put 7.
I like living there. Being a 'tourist' means I have to come back here, just when I'm beginning to enjoy myself.![]()
Close to the top of the tree for its people ... among the friendliest cultures on Earth, as far as I'm concerned.![]()
I think it all depends how you want to live. If you want a retirement style lifestyle and have the pension or income to do it, Palawan is fantastic, just do not get ill lol, great hospitals but expensive and hard to get private healthcare. Education is not great even in the private schools if you have a "new" young family. We will keep our farms there and the beach lot we have purchased but I am taking the family down to New Zealand to educate our children but will almost certainly look to retire back there in 10 to 15 years providing they do not ruin the island with developments
Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy
if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!
I have recently returned from spending 3 months in Phills, basically to find out if i could live there, i have come to the same conclusion as Michael, i love it as a Tourist, but to live their, i very much doubt it, maybe the best way is to do 6 months here and 6 months their ..![]()
I'm making several trips a year at the moment. Not a problem with that. Perfectly happy to live anywhere in the Phils and in any kind of accommodation. It's the long flights that I now dread... plus my grass growing tall while I'm away, risk of break-ins, etc, makes it harder to relax and enjoy the trips 100%.
Yup,i agree entirely with your sentiments,i lived there once,decided it wasnt for me,nowadays its fine for holidays,but the world is a huge colourfull place,getbout and explore it![]()
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
it depends on your expectations. I have been there for over a year full time and just returned to the uk. FOr me, I have everything i need where we live. Never any problems or hassles. If you cannot adapt, don't live there.
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
