PP Palawan or Bacolod - Living & Education

[tiger31]

Hi Tiger,

Sounds just like Spain, are you in a sub division or in the countryside?. I am in Leeds right now but we will shortly be moving to Congleton Cheshire

I will have a go at learning the language but not sure how I will get on..it's a struggle so far. I just want to be able to understand my kids, but if they are talking 3 languages I will be stuffed

Seems to be quite a few wealthy people in Bacolod, we visited the mall last year and it had plenty of high end shops but very few shoppers. RPI and Malls...they just keep building them...and condo's

A trike would be cool, how do you find driving it around?

Overall do you think it was good idea moving from Cebu? Most of my wife's close family are in Manila but it's just too crazy for me

Yes, we are in a sub division - a medium range one I think. No security on the gate - but so far not had or heard of any problems here. I don,t drive my tricycle in the city - just around our baranguy - but in fairness, I,m going to upgrade to a multicab in future for a bit more comfort.

I am planning to bring g,f to UK as soon as I,ve finished my extension to the house, as she would like to see the place for herself. I,m from Northamptonshire ( little Scotland ) lol.

As for Cebu, the climate does not suit me - too hot and sticky - whereas here, it,s not so humid and also less polluted than Cebu.

I don,t know where there is a good beach near me as I have not been to one in Bacolod area. Been to a couple on Mactan. Bohol - which is only 2 hours on the ferry - has some nice beaches.

I have never been to Manila and have no desire to go either lol - too many people in one place. I am sure we can meet up sometime in the future.

Hi

We are not yet decided on a sub division yet, on the one hand were we bought the lot has very good facilities and lots of security but its expensive, with lots of rules and as it does not allow trikes or even taxis onto the sub division which makes getting around difficult.... I guess like everything in life its all about choosing the best compromise for yourself

I think little Scotland voted to be part of the UK. Personally I am all for a breakaway with the United Counties of the North with Liverpool as the capital....lol....guess thats a subject for another thread

I am sure most UK/Filipino couples think about what is the best country to live in. I would say I am not decided yet but I really want to try both countries.
