Thanks for the warm welcome
Welcome!
What drew you to the Philippines in particular? (We've thought about wintering in Panama or other Latin American countries.)
I moved to the Philippines, Cebu in particular, because one of my friends was moving to start a business and I had never been to Asia before so I thought it would be a good home base for traveling.
The biggest problem here is language barrier and traffic. Everyone speaks a little English but if you have any special requests at a business or restaurant they usually don't understand.
Welcome to Audio Circle! 
Moving to a place where the cost of living is lower is a pretty interesting approach to funding one’s audio addiction...
More of a joke but it made me stop spending so much on cars, now I spend too much on Audio.
