I am always interested in hearing about expats and where they go to live. I’ve never been to the PI, but it sounds like it’s not bad at all. One day, I may join you out that way.

Happiness here is all in attitude. If you can adjust to third world culture, such as roosters crowing before daybreak, you can love it here.
It is far best for single men who hookup with a Filipina.
Eric, you need to come here to see for yourself. The pictures in post 14 were taken by the beach, 5 minutes walk from my house. I chose Davao City for several reasons, cost of living mostly. It seems to be the economic hub of Mindanao, if not the entire Visayan region. The mayor does tolerate any foolishness from anyone, so it is a good safe area. Me and my buddy both know police officers. The cops do not go around shooting your dog and do not hassle law abiding citizens. Just don’t expect it to work like the US, but I have a home phone, cell phone, high speed Internet access and satellite TV. It works for me.
