“Do you live in the city of Manila or one of the provinces”
I have never been to Manila, and would not live in any big city.
When I flew in for a one month visit in August of last year, and when I came to live in January, my flight was from Vienna to Cebu city, with only one stop in Doha, Qatar.
I live in a nice small town, on a beach, 2 hours south of Cebu city.
There are a few other FReepers living here in the Philippines.
If you have the right attitude, and can accept life in a third world country, this is GREAT.
I have beach and mountains, all in one.
My $500 per month covers my rent, food, transportation...everything...and that is for 2 people.
What about the gun laws over there? And work?
I love Cebu - has very nice beaches and the people are very warm. You should visit Bohol - probably an hour’s flight from Cebu.
So have you learned any Visayan dialect yet?
