I love the Philippines. I would live here I could, but although my wife is Filipina, she loves living in Australia. Over our 25 years of marriage, every offer to move here have been answered with a resounding "NO!". Our three children have grown up in Australia (our eldest was born in Manila), and also love the Philippines, but do not want to live here either. Life is quite a bit better in Australia, and so is the education system.

it is very hot here, but I'm having less pain than I usually do, so I'm enjoying the stay.

It took ages to set up the internet, but I got it done eventually.
