Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! Welcome to the Philippines. Home of undisputably the most beautiful women in Asia, if not the world, of empty white sand beaches, of chaotic politics, of 22 active volcanoes, jungle covered mountains, of welcoming people and laissez faire bureaucracy (when you're tired of Nanny telling you how to live your life and checking up on you) Where you can retire with very few restrictions and avoid any tax anywhere in the world, and live well on USD1500 a month or less, where everyone speaks or understands English, where an ice cold beer cost US$0.60, and a willing young beautiful woman will be only too happy to marry you no matter what age or shape you're in as long as you take care of her, or, if you prefer to sample the steak rather than buy the cow, she'll spend the night/weekend with you and deliver great sex for less than you ever thought possible.

Where medical care is superb, where there are malls bigger and better stocked than many in the US and definitely ANY in UK, where all your favourite brands are available. Where gas currently costs around USD1.76/gallon, a housemaid gets paid USD40/month and.........

I could go on and on. Oh yes, it's warm as well. Rains a lot but still warm. Lowest temps around 20 C Highest 36 C. Other trivia: Filipinos are responsible for 30% of global text messaging volumes, Manila is the world's 3rd most polluted city, .......

What I want to do with this blog is to jot down my myriad experiences with women, sex, booze, life, you name it, in this country I've made my home. Expect a lot about Harley Davidson motorcycles. I'm 64 with a delicious girlfriend less than half my age and boy when I'm done they can carry of my worn out shell for sure as hell I don't want to leave anything unused!

That's it for now. Stay tuned if you like.
