Only the beans, here (actually more rice, than beans!).

Praying for change! I hope it comes on the end of a rope!

Actually, I moved to the Philippines in February, with a return ticket dated for today (The plane left Cebu 7 hours ago!). I am staying here in the land of friendly people where smiles are always part of the proper uniform of the day!

It is an English-speaking country, mostly Christian (Roman Catholics and Protestants), with a good exchange rate and reasonable cost of living. It is always warm, and shorts are daily wear.

In Davao City, where I now live, there are super-malls and open markets. Seafood is fresh, and ground beef is 249 pesos per kilo (44 Php=1USD, therefore about $2.47/lb.) I bought a whole beef tenderloin last week for 380 per kilo (about $3.93 per pound). Marinated and grilled with bacon wrapping! Mmmmmm... along with some large BBQed shrimp!

Life is great here, and I don't regret leaving Barak's Amerika. It is no longer the America I know!
