Some Guy Had Wandered Up And Sat Behind My Fiancee. She Was Devastated, She Work Months In China To Buy That Cp, She Loved It. All Her Pictures And Contacts Gone.
More Recently We Had Safety Worried In Negros. We Went To Miss Gay, I Was A Judge, God Know Why. The Other Foreigner There Was Robbed And Beaten Up In His Own Home, His Wife Too.
Maybe They Were Followed Home. They Lived Not Far Away. Then A Few Days Later The Store Around The Corner To Our House Was Held Up And A Guy Shot Who Resisted.
My Fiancee Was Very Worried She Would Be Next Target. Our Home Has Good Doors And Double Locks, Windows Barred And High Walls To The Yard, So Its Not Easy To Get In The House. I Do Worry About Her Leaving The House Though As Its A Short Walk To The Highway Through Wasteland.
I Ask Her Not To Go Out Alone At Night And Always Be Vigilant.
She Is Treated Diffrerently With A Foreign Partner, By Her Family Who Expect Hand Outs. She Refuses So They Give Her A Hard Time Always.
We Bought A House From Her Uncle, To Save Them Going To Jail For Massive Debts. After Selling They Wanted More. Trouble Never Stopped Since, So She Has Family Worry Aswell As Robber Worries.
Some Of Her Friends Are Not As Friendly As Before, Cos They Expect Help When They Need It. When It Doesnt Arrive, They Are Not There Texting Her Anymore.
They Aslo Dont Like Lending Her A Phone If Her Load Runs Out, Cos They Expect Her To Have Constant Load Cos Her Bf Is White. Yes Also She Does Get Asked Personal Questions About Me, Usually By The Bayots.
I'd Like To Go Cycling More On My Own But My Fiancee Doesnt Like It. I Did It 2 Times Incident Free. I'm Not Sure If She Is More Worried About The Drivers There Or Me Getting Held Up On A Quiet Bit Of Road Or Kidnapped Or Whatever.
I Don't Take Any Chances With Safety. My Face Is Fairly Suplado Which Might Put Off Some Attackers. I Look Mean Even If I Dont Feel It. As For Guns, I'd Rather Not. It Could Only Escalate Things As Has Been Said Already. I'd Hope Crooks Couldnt Afford A Gun And Take My Chances 1 On 1 In A Knife Fight.
My Fiancee Thinks A Gun Is Good Deterrent. I'm Not Convinced. I Also Agree Big Time With The Poster. Everyone Who Has Anything To Sell Turns Up On Our Doorstep. Lots, Picture Frames, Failed Buisnesses. I'm Tired Of Being Asked To Buy Lots Or Anything Else Going, Just Cos I'm Foreign.
I Bought A Lot Off A Friend And Now I Have 3 Lots There, But Still Get Asked If I Want To Buy Things From Total Strangers, Or Fake Friends. Maybe I'm Too Cycnical, But Its Surprising How Many People Tell You They Have Land For Sale The Night They Offer To Meet You For Drinks Or A Singsong.
When We Dont Buy We Never Get Invited Out Again. Thats Life. Does Put Me Off Living Permanently Over There, Cos Its A Daily Job Weeding Out Real Friends From Fakes.
Anyway Im Getting Off Topic Of Safety And Into Money Matters. Sorry Folks. I Said All I Can , I'll Shut Up
