    These ladies are your loved ones, not slaves or even worse, second class citizens, more lowly than you.
    Don't really want anyone to take this personally, but this did cross my mind?... The just give her enough, for a cup of rice per day syndrome.

    What I'd really be interested in now, is how much did people spend on their "2 week" holiday there?
    I bet the majority, stayed in nice Hotels, Resorts, spending & eating well?

    Just an observation, no offence meant.

    exactly Sim. We can live 5 star for 3 weeks in the Phils, when I go home, you go back to your dive
    My wife lived western stylie from the day we met.

    I wasn't going to live the way I lived here and treat my wife differently

    I did the best I could, like most on here.

    The story of my life

    Actually, my favourite trip was living in her Boarding House, when we got married. Just us 2 for most of the time. Living simply, for a couple of months. Buying grilled fish, on the way home & veg in the market etc. I want more of that.

    She calls it a boarding house, don't know what the proper definition is? I suppose it's more of a small apartment. The owners live away from the property & they knew a foreigner, was on the scene?

    The same for Jane and I. We don't do 5 star out of choice. In our opinion there are much better ways to spend that money.
    The best holidays for us, is in Catundanes, no frills, very few westerners and the one that were, were couples from Holland Canada and Nottinghamshire It was our idea of bliss

    Just a a bit of a post script, I have a lovely call from my Mahal tonight, and we were talking about her children. I have helped her to send her boys to a private school, which I am happy to do, but that is a different matter. But tonight she tells me that the younger lad is jealous of his older brother because he had new shoes for the start of the new school year. To help out I told her to buy her son a new pair of shoes to equal the situation and I would pay for them.
    Sometimes, just the small gestures are the important ones. We just need to keep our loved ones happy at the end of the day. Thats all I wanted to add.
