I currently live in Vietnam and am thinking of at least coming to check out living/moving to the PI.
Not real keen on the heat or humidity. I've heard of a city in the North called Baquio (sp). Don't see it as a destination on the blog. Can anyone tell me how much a nice home would cost there to rent.
Is it difficult to find a lady friend there? What is the visa situation in the PI.? how long can I stay w/o leaving etc? Any help would be appreciated. Looking to maybe come that way mid April.
Moving to PI? Any suggestions

Thanks Joe. I have a friend who just moved here to Vietnam and he lived in Cebu. How much can one expect to pay for a nice home there in Cebu. I realize " nice" is relative.

For $2,000 a month U.S. you can live like a prince in the Philippines. And have a girl friend no problem there.

Hello Joe,
Please try not to use All Caps in your messages as this is considered as shouting on online forums. You can have a look at the PHILIPPINES FORUM CODE OF CONDUCT for more information.
Thank you,

Were I live not Cubu. 5000 pso a month up to how much can they take you for. But the 5000 a month can be a nice house in a less desirable area. I see a very nice house here in the country for 15000 a month. Secluded on a hill nice view and all. But a down hill walk across the creek to the dirt road. And I do mean a very nice home 4 bedroom and maids quarters all stone furnished. But no way to get a car to it just walk in and out to the road.
