in the phillipines its a helluva lot cheaper for anything compared to the states.

give me a breakdown on what 6750.00 PHP money gets you, which is roughly 150.00 USD.

just curious as to the cost of living and other stuff there.

What would 6750.00 PHP get me?

It's about that in a club, but can go up from there.
As i said it's all relative and where you want to hang out, it can be as expensive or as cheap as you like here, Heineken is going to cost about 450p a can in a decent restaurant.

The price of apartments would of course depend on location, but one thing about living there... they stuff several people in one bedroom. Seriously, the guy working for me sleeps in a bedroom with 3 other people, he said everyone does it.

6750P would get you:

A nice room for the night at the Blue Rock resort on the beach at Subic Bay (2000P)

AND

A REAL steak dinner - Tommo imports his beef from Australia (900P)

AND

20 Ice Cold San Miguel beers (600P)

AND

2 girls for the night (and most of the next day) from the Midnight Rodeo just over the hill (2400P)

AND

A Box or 2 of Viagra or Cialis (Real or not, the placebo effect works) from a vendor (600P)

AND

A copy Rolex or Omega watch from a beach vendor before you leave (250P).

I DO miss the Phillipines sometimes.

Our maid gets paid P7k or about $140/month. $40 of that is her food allowance for a whole month so her real take home money is $100/month. She is considered a VERY well paid maid.

The pollution is awful, the weather is a bitch but if you made minimum wage (US) here, you can live like a king.

Why do you ask A1R3K? You looking to move here?

Why is pollution so bad in that general part of the world? Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, etc.

Heh, my apartment in Makati, is 12000 per month ($250)
Electric $100
Internet $20
Water $10

In Makati you can think
Studio 15K ($310)
1BR 22K ($430)
2BR 35K+ ($725)

It is not unheard of to have a $300-$500 electric bill every month.

Can someone tell me what a small black coffee costs at Starbucks in the USA nowadays?

Small Black Coffee at Starbuck's (Makati) = $1.56
San Mig Beer at 7-11 41 cents
Marlboros 74 cents
Haircut, Shave, Manicure, and Color at the Barber shop (I am gray, not here) = $20
Massage 1 hour = $5
Can of Tuna = 68 cents
I can eat here on $5 a day (if I wanted to)

Food and services are cheaper. Even more so out of the city.

Hardware, Electronics and Furnishings are all same price or higher compared to USA. Gas is probably the same or more expensive.

Lol Shey - eventhough I think your maid is pretty good, thanks to some good training, you're over paying. I got a maid through my girlfriends mom for 3k a month and she eats what we make, so about 4k a month

Apartments are all relative, you can get shitty condos in any of the major cities in Manila (Makati / Ortigas / Quezon) for cheap, and nice ones will always cost more.

Differences in renting is this, for the most part, they require terms like 12 year lease, 3 mo down / 3 advance and 9 post dated checks for decent condos. Cash out front, but you can always negociate these down.
