Finally I’m in the Philippines

So glad to report that this week we have arrived in the Philippines. Not a complete move but working towards someday doing just that. We have spent the first few days just adjusting to the time difference and visiting with friends we haven’t seen since last year.
I have been to Jollibee and Chow King, my fave places to eat, a couple of times already and it seems that there are more Starbucks here than anywhere I’ve ever been. Aside from that I’m finally figuring out the Internet Providers and prices. I’ve already been to Mall of Asia, Manila Bay, and Market Market and will share pics with you guys when I get them uploaded.
A strange occurance is the amount of Americans I’ve seen here this year. Although I’ve only been away for a year the amount of foreigners I have encountered in our little suburb of Manila suprises me. I have seen many younger Americans in the malls and places I’ve been. I guess the secret is out!

Welcome, Dan! Indeed, I am seeing a lot more foreigners here over the past year or so.
We hope to be there this year, too. Just a visit.
I would have thought the number of Americans would be down, not up, due to the economy. Guess that’s good for the Philippines.
On a side note, I can’t get the Commentluv to parse my posts? Not a big deal but it is working elsewhere.
Hi Randy
My trip is classified as just a visit but I have worked out many bugs in the process. I think it was more oif a working visit than vacation. BTW I just upgraded to the lastest version of commentluv so hopefully that fixes the problem
Randy,
Could you give me a shout back please. I’m an American married to a Fil woman and will move to the PI in the next year or two. Looking to establish dialog with Americans living there. Thank you, Gordon Larson
Hi Gordon
Im not Randy but you can establish dialog with me anytime. Im not in the Philippines curerently but will be returning in a couple of months. In the meantime thanks for reading!
