> Hi Greetings from freezing Birmingham ! i take it you are from
England , well i hope you don't mind if i pick your brains! I have a
wonderful lady in Makati and have just returned from seeing her over
there. As i am now 60 i am seriously thinking about taking early
retirement and moving over there this year sometime. One of the
questions raised was the fact she is still at work and obviously i
wont get work over there and she was wondering how i would occupy my
time during the day , i am still fit and active but i also have to
consider my safety over there too , can you offer me any advice on
this, i think i will be living on my own for a while until my divorce
finally comes through, I may be looking in the Tagatay area as that
seems a bit more civilized than Manila and Makati !!
> Hope you don't mind me asking you these questions,oh one more
question ! how long will i be able to stay before renewing my visa
