The only part of Singapore I have seen was the airport. Also I do not know much about other places in the Philippines either.
I moved to Davao because this is where my fiancee lived. It is also one of the best and safest city, especially for foreigners in this country.
Life is good and bad in many ways. Culture is so different than the USA and many western countries. Visit my site for many articles about the good and the bad.
I couln't help but browse all the blogs circling in and around the Far-East...cos I plan to extend my stay and explore other destinations too...and here I came upon yours....How different are the places from each other anyway? They all look pretty in the and colourful in the pictures...I'm sure you're having a great life in Phillipines! Cheers! :D
I enjoyed meeting you too and look foward to seeing you again and you meeting Elena.
Please email me through American in Davao or directly so we can easily be in contact.
It was nice chatting with you and Jim. Enjoy your stay in pinas with your wife. I know pinas is not an immaculate place to live in but Im sure you see the brighter side of pinoy. You can judge by yourself just like in any other places there are nice and bad people, its just a matter of how we deal with them. Me too kinda forget that i came from here, I try to compare big cities in abroad to philippines (pinas) kind of sad but I realized, this is my home where i always wanted to be. Now I am back for good hopefully start a new business. I feel so happy and relaxed since I arrive last month. UK is great but its just too cold for me and its so fast there.
All the best.
