    Hi John. Basically, Hanna and I stay there because we have always stayed there. Very popular, very clean, nice rooftop bar with great food - inexpensive. Food served until 10.00p.m. - bar open all night if you want.

    990Pesos for 24 hours - in other words you don't have to check out by a certain time - you check out per 24 hour period - if that makes sense.

    You can get cheaper of course, but a tenner for a good room - cable, free telephone, aircon etc... well, put it this way, Hanna and I are more than happy with Fuente pension.

    2 minute walk to Robinsons - 50P taxi ride to Ayala Mall - about 70P to SM Mall. About 250P (or less) from the airport.

    Hope that helps you John.

    God bless,

    Al.

    Hope your enjoying the sun Al and Hanna. Think of us lot on the UK, shivering in the rain, paying sky high prices for everything and just being rather envious of you.

    BBC reports today that a single person needs £13,400 a year to live in the UK. . And that doesn't include housing. Oh joy

    Hi everyone.

    As usual, many thanks for all your good wishes in this thread. (BTW - I have PMd. Tish - isn't that an unbelievable offer??) Just goes to prove about the wonderful 'family' here.

    My job is at a private, English Language school (Cleverlearn English Language Institute - CELI) teaching English to, mainly, Koreans and Japanese.
    The pay is not wonderful, but obviously better than nowt - and should be enough to keep me in dried fish and tuba!!

    I am supposed to go back there tomorrow for an induction day - but - as usual - can't get off the mountain at the moment - God is having a shower again.

    I'll keep you posted!

    Couple have twins - father has accident and can't attend the Christening - so his brother goes in his stead.
    Afterwards, father says to uncle -
    'So, what did you call the girl?'
    Uncle replies:
    'Denise'
    That's a nice name' father replies - 'and what about the boy - what did you call him?'
    'Denephew.'

    The only time I have been in prison - thank GOD - was to do some teaching to the prisoners. Would not exactly be my number one choice of life.

    Actually went to Cebu for a job interview.

    Got the job!!!!

    Now comes the hard bit - finding a cheap roof over my head. The job is in Mactan.

    Seen plenty of cheap roofs around Mactan airport from the plane. They're rusty corrugated steel usually. I guess you don't want THAT cheap eh?

    I wonder how long will it take on jeepney to get to Lancashire?

    I've got a house in Lapu-lapu you see, and it's currently empty, and it will only rot without anyone in it, so I thought I'll offer it to Sir Al and the missis

    I think loads of properties around Mactan area, for rent or for sale. Just shop around and try to look at Cebu properties in the net.

    Congrats and goodluck.

    Prof Al, that is a great news! Are you going to get a big villa so we can spend holidays with you and Hannah?
