Re: Why do older men choose to retire and marry here?

Well it's because our country is a bit more peaceful and stress-free than the western countries. We are also very hospitable to foreigners and (not to offend foreigners) some of them see that as an advantage because they know that there'll be someone and anyone who will help them in times of trouble...

Re: What do you prefer – urban or rural life?

Even if I do enjoy the urban lifestyle and how exciting the city life is, I'd still prefer rural life. I love it because I can eat a lot of healthy fresh foods like vegetables and fish straight from the ocean. I also love the rural life because it's very simple and it doesn't stress you a lot becaus...

Re: What do you prefer, Day or Night?

I'm a little bit lazy and I really love spending more time at home so I'll go with nighttime. For me, night times are better because it means you don't have to go outside and stress yourself from the heat of the sunlight (or coldness of the winter). Night times are also the times when the family eat...

Re: Avoid night traveling

I agree with this specially with road trips. It's already dark and you might not know there are criminals waiting to rob you or do something to you because they're bored. It's also hard to travel at night because it might make you sleepy. However, I do prefer night flights because they're cheaper th...

Re: Worst part of traveling

I will always hate the long hours of commuting I have to make in order to get in to our International Airport. Lviving in Cebu City, it's very hard to travel anywhere because Mactan International Airport is in another city which is Lapu-Lapu. The stress of waiting for a mybus at SM is the first stre...

Re: Currency reasons

I definitely agree that conversion rate is the key factor why a lot of people work abroad. As a Filipino, I also dream of working outside of the country because I feel like even if I work hard here there's no possibility that I can earn a lot compared to what I'll possibly earn abroad. I'm not degra...

Re: strange foods

For me the strangest food in the Philippines would be Balut. Both my parents and my siblings actually love to eat Balut but I don't eat it because I don't like how it looks. I also find it strange when they say that it's really yummy and tasty when in fact it looks awful because what's inside is a f...

Re: How did you learn English or teach your kids to learn English?

As a Filipino, it's also compulsory to us to take and study English subjects during our school days. However, for me, it wasn't the primary reason why I became fluent with the language. For me, I was able to practice and be fluent with English because of my parents' job which is a caretaker of a res...
