It's great. Aside from the heat and humidity, you will never want to move back. The people, the culture, the food, and the number of places you can visit will change your life. I just moved back to the US after living in the Philippines for the past 11 years and I miss it. I recommend you at least visit.

It's great. I have lived here for 6 years now, and never got sick of it. I will be leaving on good terms, and am open to moving back in the future as well. I tell all my family and friends that are considering the move, to just go ahead with it. If worse comes to worst, they can always go back to their prior lives :D

Sorry you just missed a better upvote, I delegated another batch. I appreciate your stopover! I replied to you on @purepinay's page already.

I think about it a lot. Everyone seems so happy there and the women are nice. Why are you moving back?

Don't worry about the upvote either.

I am moving to South America, as its a place she can travel visa free. The pollution, traffic, and food here have forced me to search for greener pastures. Since I moved to Cebu, I think the population and traffic more than doubled. Or so it seems. Everyone is happy here, and all the women are nice. Its heaven for most guys that discover it :)

I agree.

There are some things I'm concerned about too, which has kept me from going. What country are you moving to?

Hey Mike, anything new?

We will be splitting our time between Ecuador, and Peru. Tourist visas in these countries are good for 6 months apiece, so we will move after they expire. I could pay for the resident visa, but IMHO, I don't see the value in it at this time.

Meet a girl in the Philippines, and then move to a different country seems to be the typical scenario :)

Cost of living in South America is actually cheaper than here in Cebu.

What don't you like about the food?

It's good, but can be bad for your heart! :P
