He made very little effort to meet Philippine people and socialize.He didn’t figure on start up cost. The Philippine people are very friendly and kind.

Unlike Americans, we don't spend time analyzes ourselves an others unless they affect our daily lives and we need their help. The near future we turn them over to God.

When you live in the Philippines, socialize with the neighbors. So we won't ne embarrassed checking you out. In my compound, you are surrounded bwith working people, but we the owners live in the compound. We have helpers moving around. You need to socialize with the helpers. They're the ones who can help you, help us during the emergencies.

I completely disagree. Your teacher friend didn't plan to fail, he failed to plan. There is no way he could have retired with so little money anywhere. Total foolishness.

Where was this video taken? The signs on buildings look like THai. Traffic keeps to the left in Thailand, In Phil’s it’s to the right. Harsh realities I suppose………these old guys in all these stories are always obsessed with money and spreadsheets. I can’t help thinking most if not all are FAKE!
