Hello all.
I am a single man about to retire and looking for a place to flop. I have some health issues but generally I'm ok. I have a buddy who loves PI and that is why I am interested in making my first visit in Dec or January.
He tells me everyone has a gun and there are lots of very desperate people. Is this true ? He lives in Manila but has taken several trips around PI.
I was once a diver and love water. I swim every week at home for excercise and would like to keep that up. I also love to walk. I have a drink from time to time. Any mescal to be had in PI ?
Just looking for quiet simple life in the sun and near the sea. My other retirement options are Costa Rica and Thailand. I have been to LOS (Land of Smiles) Thailand last 3 winters and it agrees with me.
I have yet to research cost of living. Can you tell me how much a man needs for a modest comfortable life in PI ?
Currently I live on W. Coast of Canada. Lovely in summer but dreary wet and dark in summer.
Thank you for your thoughts.
