Poor sufferin' soul! I take it you hail from the Philippines?

Come and see us in Johnson City, Tennessee

Johnson City, Tennessee? The Cumberland Gap? Darius Rucker sings about both in Wagon Wheel.

Actually, I hail from Grand Forks, North Dakota. I just moved to Davao City when I retired. Cheaper cost of living.
There are several stores that cater to the MANY foreigners that live here. Most of the time, they have turkeys, but these merchants are not very good at inventory control. They run out of things, then it takes months to get them back.
By the way, no dinuguan, and no balut. And yes, I am suffering for Jesus on the beach.

:-)

You motivated me to look up Davao City in Wikipedia. It must be really quite lovely.

Ah yes, the Cumberland Gap. We are a little to the southeast of that region, in the Watauga watershed--- which you can get from Western North Carolina via Buckner Gap and Sam's Gap. We've got more gaps here than the Cumberlands.

We're acoustic and traditional religious, as in shape notes. I mean culturally. Religiously, my husband is Russian Orthodox and I am Catholic, per omnia saecula saeculorum!

Davao City sounds, like I said, delish. But Upper East Tennessee is beautiful, beautiful country. Good people.

Oh yeah. And turkeys too.
