Re: Starting a business in Japan
I am sorry if I cannot contribute to this topic except that I know there are so many requirements for opening an offshore business in Japan. Their primary concern is the nature of the business and the capitalization. The business cannot directly compete with the local business there.

Re: living in USA
When the US is the topic of conversation my status would always be included. I had an approved petition in 2007 by my father who was a US citizen. But I did not avail of that privilege. Now my 3 siblings are US citizens and I am the only one here in the Philippines. I preferred life here because it ...

Re: Philippines!
It is sad that the night life has been gone for more than a year because of the pandemic. Manila has many nice bars and restaurants that offer a good time with their live singing or karaoke singing.

When I was assigned work in London my colleagues and I went to the Isle of Wight one weekend. The island is like a big theme park with with manicured lawns and trimmed plants by the pathway.

Favorite city or spot in a foreign country
We were often in Hongkong and Singapore so it is a toss up for me which spot is my favorite. In Hongkong the Big Buddha in Ngong Ping island can be considered by favorite while in Singapore my choice is the Gardens by the Bay which is a vast park with plenty to see. The park is also beside the Marin...

Re: Booking room through Airbnb
My wife and I often travel abroad but always stay in a hotel. My sister-in-law tried the Airbnb in Hongkong when she took a vacation there with her family and relatives totaling 10 people. On the day of leaving the lock on the door wouldn't open so they informed the caretaker via social media (becau...

Re: Student Partnership Worldwide
When I was a student there was an exchange program of students. Foreign students would live here for 1 year to study for free while some of the students here go to foreign countries for the same purpose. I think I have not heard of that anymore.

Re: Evolution VS Religion
I believe in evolution theory, I don't think God created a man, I believe human beings evolved from primates. However, I believe God is behind the evolution. God created an automated system where everything happened on itself. The problem with this topic is that it cannot be resolved. We are all li...

Re: Public Transportation Fare: Cebu Philippines
For local short trips that you would need a taxicab it is better to have someone help you. A foreigner is the usual victim of criminals in the Philippines although sometimes the taxicab driver is also a willing victim. Traveling at night adds a risk to your life so you have to be discerning with the...
