Looking to relocate. But to where?

Uh ?!? is it that cheap ? i checked some ads for villas on mc Kinley Hills and it was more like 5000up. Still cheaper than where I live but curious to know the right website where to look for real estate, rent or buy, in BGC, if you can share a link.
Been there a couple of times, it's the only place I found which looked liveable long term in Manila.
Didn't find the food too bad, there's a small chain with at least a restaurant in BGC and Makati where they serve large organic salads, quite nice, and nowhere to be seen around here.

olx.ph has the largest number of ads but it's a pain to search. 25k would be the price after quite a bit of looking and negotiating for a more budget place.

Good list. I keep hearing that Lisbon is a dump, though...

I hadn't heard that, what are the issues there? Planning a trip to check out Portugal this summer and possibly do the investment to permanent residence to citizen thing (without moving there full time), so am very interested in places to go/not to go.

People seem to have strong reactions to Lisbon. Either they love it, or they think it's a dump overrun by African migrants begging in the streets. The only way to know what's true is to go there, I suppose.
 
For a mom and pop retail trader like me, SoCal is an ideal location. Where I live the weather is great. By 1:00 pm Pacific time I am done for the day, have all afternoon and evening to hit the beaches, shopping....

I've been all over Cebu, it's a fairly big island. Cebu city is quite crappy and very polluted, only useful for obtaining imported goods. Souther part of the island is amazingly beautiful and filled with a lot of foreigners (mostly German, French). The problem is that Cebu city is 2-3 hours away, so frequent trips for say, food, are out of the question. There aren't any other cities around either.

Lived in Japan and found out it's definitely not for me. I loved Japan as a tourist, as an almost-immigrant, I got very dark and depressive vibes. It's very modern but you definitely need to learn Japanese and if you want to own a car and a nice house, it gets very expensive. I lived in an apartment the size of an American clothes cabinet so it was not too horrible, price wise.



Being born in the USSR myself, I wouldn't lump all the countries that were part of it together. I suppose you meant Russia, tongue-in-cheek. I find Russians and Americans to be very similar in most ways, both on average are very patriotic; both have very intelligent, rich, power hungry and ruthless elites and a huge amount of uneducated trash...and that's why they don't get along.

911 is a bit messed up. The reactions proved your other points nicely. Care to give some similar and well documented factual examples about Russia (hopefully not in Russian)?

Not sure if it's okay to stray from the original topic too far but it appears that the bigger the country, the easier it is for incapable people to hide behind the achievements of their countrymen.
Also, I don't carry a reasonable understanding of the Russian language.
