RK- Nice picture . Welcome aboard ! some great guys here with LOTS of experience . Welcome to the 4th world ! HA!!

In General , you will love the Philippines ( RP ) ... certainly I do . It has its frustrations at times , but the people, weather, geography , ocean and so on , buffer the negatives . I usually spend 5-7 months a year there ( this year is an exception). Grew up there as a 'foreigner street Kid' . Have So many old friends, family , and so on there. Spend most of my time on South Negros and North East Luzon . I also belong to a Motorcycle club , affiliated with clubs across the RP . Love riding my motor on the various Islands . Each Island has its own vibe and culture to a degree ! My Father was an engineer , so me and my sister grew up there and always called it home . Went to university and worked in Canada - but that took me international too . Vancouver Island is where I spend the summers and late spring , and part of the Fall.

What brings you to the RP ? ( whats her name ? - HA!! :) Have you been here a dozen times or at least a few times ? Living in the RP full time is great .... but it does have its challenges . One is access to great medical IF there is an emergency . Another 1st world problem is getting some foods readily, or getting something done in a hurry .

Probably the Spring here , things will open up .

Tell us a little about yourself ...

Surf !
