RE: Inside the Home of an Expat

Yeah we were lucky to have that place. Is your house in Ana apartment building in a large city? That sounds like some of the homes in major cities like Paris, New York and Toronto...etc. our place was out in the a small town in the country try so homes tend to be larger than in big cities

Sort:  

We are in the Philippines and for now we are informal settlers here.

I see. To be honest I'm not sure what that means. I've never heard the term before.

Informal settlers means we are living in a place we didn't own. Anytime the owner or the government can demolish us.

Oh I see. I think that is what we call "renters." People who don't own the home but rent it from someone else.
