safe space, to put it in some way.Hi @kobold-djawa! This is @ninaeatshere, It's interesting that there is a small European refuge in the Philippines, although it is sad that it is a luxury complex and not an area of free cultural exchange, although is understandable that those who can and want to afford it have a
Touring with people from different cultures is very enriching, I find it a great learning experience to put yourself in the place of others and see how they live the experience, in the end the beauty of traveling is to learn and understand how diverse people can be. I liked how you narrated this expedition in the company of your new friends, you express yourself in such a friendly way that it is a joy reading you.

Hi nice to know you. Thank you for stopping by and I would check on the links for sure.
Well, I got your point as I'd also tend to say that there's no point in migrating nor travelling in another countries if all you want is to see and get exactly the same things in your homeland.
However to occasionally craving for things from home and to try bring influence to the locals when it comes to a real good thing and have universal value from home would be fine, I guess.
For example...how to take care of the environment, to not litter 😊.
Anyway I think most owners in such compound don't buy the property to live in but to use it as an investment plus weekend sanctuary while the main domicile would be in the capital as they need to earn the money there...or...they would rent it out as a staycation.
Living in there would make you too far from everywhere and if you have children, they might be happy with the abundant of free space and fresh air, good security too, but it would be difficult for them to find friends 😅 because the houses are far away from each others and secluded. Grocery Shopping will be a hassle too.
Most rich foreigners who wants to enjoy life might rather choose BGC in Manila, if they want to live like in the west.
We try our best to find the balance between quality of life and cultural assimilation, that's how we chose our home. The Singaporeans are our neighbour, that's how we got to know them.
We met them in the park and they were the one inviting us to join their gathering.
I must say we're really lucky, so far I haven't experienced bad things and always meet good people here.
Hello over there! Thank you for considering our invitation 🤗
It's a very interesting reflection what you say about the convenience, security and longing for customs when you develop your life abroad. Emigration brings with it many peculiarities that, if you have the possibility to remedy, lead us to look for safe spots.
It's great to read that you managed to find a place to live with the right balance and that allows you to meet nice people, what more could you ask for? hahaha cheers!
