An Expat Talks about Moving to Davao, Philippines

Submitted by Pedrothirteen

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Davao

Name three things that you wish you had brought and three you wish you had left at home.

A lot of patience and lowered expectations. The Philippines is after all a developing/3rd world country. It takes a lot of head scratching and acceptance to live here but I still like and enjoy it. Just don't expect efficiency, fairness or sensibility among other things. It takes a while to adjust to the way things are done in the PI.
