    Living in the Philippines

    Where is the place to be in the Philippines? And what are the prices for renting a decent house or appartment?

        That's kind of what I meant...

        Since you are on a Webmaster board, what site(s) do you operate/work for?

          you can get a decent house for just $200 a month. Makati, Pasig would be appropriate for you. But if you want to live somewhere peaceful, and close to nature, Cebu would be the place for you

            For the easiest transition I would personally suggest Makati around the greenbelt area

                  A friend of mine, told me before that he loves living in the PI. "If" you have money. I dunno if you are a Caucasian etc but think twice before moving in PI. Reasons:

                  1. When you're a Caucasian or any other foreign race, your taxi fare always get doubled LoL, funny but true... most of the time taxi will not use their meters when you ride the cab and just give you expensive price.

                  2. Going out of town - will double or triple your cost coz the "most" (im not saying all) natives see you as walking $$$$$

                  3. Security: foreigners are "more likely" to be mugged and robbed in public areas especially bars and discos. Dont night party alone... it's prudent to always have a Filipino guide or chaperone. (true, i once saw a 60 yr old white man dying in a hospital due to multiple stab wounds)

                  And here's the nice part

                  1. Most chicks are hot!
                  2. Almost everybody speaks English
                  3. All street signs, or everything you see on the streets are written in english
                  4. Nice Beaches and bitches are usually in the same location ;)
                  5. Everything is cheap as long as you know how to bargain

                        I enjoyed my 6 months in Angeles City ... even with ALL the associated "challenges".

                        It os the wild west in many respects though... suited me to a "t".

                                hey guys, thanks a lot for responses - maybe you got some pics of Makati, Burgos, Cebu, Angeles City etc.?

                                  I suggest you try out the following areas:

                                  Fort Bonifacio/Global City
                                  Makati
                                  Ortigas Center

                                  Depending on how "large" you want to live, $1.5K to $3K a month should give you a nice lifestyle. If you live LARGE then you'll definitely need more than $3K a month.

                                  Anyway, MABUHAY and I wish ya the best! Enjoy your stay!

                                          Do you get bodyguards with 1.5 to 3k per month?


                                          A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

                                          So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.

                                                    Before you move some place. Pack a big bag, and spend 3 to 6 months visiting. I think there are a few people in the board from there, that can help you get set up.


                                                    Remember that not all areas have highspeed connections, and computers become more expensive to repair, and or buy.

                                                          It is....

                                                          But you could also blow it pretty fast if you live large. You can easily eat out every meal for only a 3-4 dollars a plate in the city or less outside of teh city; go to bars that are 50 cent beers, live outside of downtown in the business districts etc...

                                                          But if you're someone who goes out a lot, likes to be in the "be seen" clubs, goes to girl bars, things are cheap so maybe you decide to take people out, living is cheaper so you decide to go for a nicer condo than you would get in USA....etc. etc....

                                                          Before you know it you could be spending more than you do in the USA.

                                                          Bottom line is; you CAN live very cheap....or you can live like a high roller for a fraction of what it would cost you in USA. But don't go down there expecting to live a celebrity lifestyle for 3k/mo.

                                                          If you go down there...are able to keep your focus on work and not going out, have some fun on the weekends, and dont be a dumbass....Then you'll be fine on a modest paycheck by USA standards

                                                                                            1. When you're a Caucasian or any other foreign race, your taxi fare always get doubled LoL, funny but true... most of the time taxi will not use their meters when you ride the cab and just give you expensive price.

                                                                                            2. Going out of town - will double or triple your cost coz the "most" (im not saying all) natives see you as walking $$$$$

                                                                                            3. Security: foreigners are "more likely" to be mugged and robbed in public areas especially bars and discos. Dont night party alone... it's prudent to always have a Filipino guide or chaperone. (true, i once saw a 60 yr old white man dying in a hospital due to multiple stab wounds)

                                                                                            And here's the nice part

                                                                                            1. Most chicks are hot!
                                                                                            2. Almost everybody speaks English
                                                                                            3. All street signs, or everything you see on the streets are written in english
                                                                                            4. Nice Beaches and bitches are usually in the same location ;)
                                                                                            5. Everything is cheap as long as you know how to bargain

                                                                                            All this is true. I heard the same story with many details about PI from my ex-gf.(native Philipina).
