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!

It is great to see your post, but just to warn you, watch out for the “dog in a manger” group here on FR. They have a real problem with those of us who are enjoying life away from Obozoland.
Maybe you can come visit us in Dalaguete some day.
Life on the beach is great, and to think that the three of us live just fine on less then $1000 per month.
