Retirement in the Philippines:The Truth

[Steve.r]

I love living there. I only left to find more work...darned Chinese flooding the world with steel!!!

But unlike Peter, I never had second thoughts. We live just outside a lovely small town, have a resort directly over the road. Close to the sea, close to lakes for fishing, close to a big enough town for emergency treatment and far enough away from other family not to be a cash cow. Those who have visited us know what I mean. I also have several western friends who are just the best type of people who are there even if you don't see them for a while, (jake lol) I can't wait to get back after I find some more work.

Steel ... hah! Now you mention the word ... it sounds [phonetically] the same as steal.

would seem to have a certain ring of truth about it ... in so far as the damn Chinese [appear] to've all but "stolen" the industry's [once?] British monopoly.

Indeed steve, you do live in a beautiful part of the world, is that lot still free at the back of you, or have you had to buy that for your ever growing family ,
I have just thought where our house sits between yours and Jake's i recon we could have some sort of easy get togethers
