Lots of warm welcomes thanks, and I know I soon will get to know the local "characters" all forums have them, I just try to fit in. If a moderator will advise what and or when a signature link is OK I will comply.
I know that there are a lot of would be expats that have no clue, and I also want to extend an invitation to visit places like Dumaguete vs, Manilla or Cebu, which of course have their fans and detractors, but give a city hard edge to the Philippine experience. The provinces can be a pleasant difference.
