There are a number of Americans I have met or corresponded with over the past fe wyears who have settled in Leyte ... it's one of the areas of the Philippines that doesn't get talked about as much as some others but seems to be a fine place to live from what I know about it. Don't hesitate to write if there's anything I can do to make the move go smoothly. reading the newspaper today I suspect we'll get an inflow of Lehman brothers executives whose salaries have now been reduced to a liviable level for the Philippines ;-) @Danny: Welcome Danny, drop by any time and thanks for the comment, it keeps the place “alive” when people join in.

But, love to see us when a major problem occurs, and they don't have the resources to handle or know how. I could go on and on about this..but would just sound like a broken record. I am glad I found this site, and will visit it very often. I am planning on moving to Philippines early next year, to Southern Leyte, Maasin City area, and will enjoy reading your articles. I am a regular visitor to Bob Martins site as well..and he is very helpful in those of us planning on living in the Philippines. Salamat, Danny Hi Dave,

My wid\fe told me I sounded angry when I wrote this. I was not ... I was actaully laughing at times at just how 40 years ago racist-sounding a lot of everyday comments are that one hears on the street here in the Philippines. It's not from malice 9(n most cases) it's from ignorance of what is acceptable in society today. Just trying to kepe people informed about the real culture shock they will encounter ... it's not just about baluts ;-) @Steven: Oh I agree with your words 100%, Steven.

Politicians with a grudge are the worst, due to the fact they get attension from the press and the people who read or hear this person have not got the knowledge to understand that said politician is grandstanding. Unfortunately this can have a bad effect on the public, so they start blaming the USA for some of the wrongs in the Philippines, some of it maybe to true in the past, but not today.
