man you may have been 2 years in Dumaguete, but you never LIVED here...
4 bedroom nice garden 5000 Peso a month, I can't comlpain. Power 800, water 200 a month, internet 2000
hmmm around 200 dollar, yeah I hope you stay cheaper in the US...
Imported food and drinks chearper than in a german (low level) restaurant. 0,5 liter German beer 150 peso, not 5 Euro.
Who buys appliances in cheap chinese markets and complains really needs good medical care, cause there is something wrong with this persons thinking. A room covered with thick rubber-matts could help too.
I ve been to countless local fiestas, celebrations and hang-outs and was always welcome... crime??? yes there is, but not more and less than anywhere else.
I alsway lough about people coming here as a peso milionair and wonder that there are brownouts in a development country... buy a generator if you don't like that.
For people that expect that stuff you do and those who can't adjust to a tropical laid back country it is better to stay in a nice retirement-home in their country and take some knitting-classes.
Nothing wrong with that, starting completely new in the last third of someones life is not for everybody. you gave it at least a try and it did not work for you.
being somewhere does not mean living somewhere (hehe almost poetic)
cheers
