I'm from the Philippines and this is my second time to work and live in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Je suis membre depuis le 30 Septembre 2010.

It's hard for women to get around the place... There were times that I wanna go to the beach or to the mall, but I couldn't because I had no available drivers to take me there (and also to drive me home). It was always impossible to go to a place alone... I had to be with somebody, or with a group for safety purposes. It's dangerous to take a cab alone. So me and my friends would always arrange our work schedules so we would have our time offs together.
I love the convenience of the LRT/MRT that could take me around Manila, from north to south. However, it is always jam-packed especially in the morning and in the evening. Nevertheless, I don't really mind being in a can of sardines, just like most people in Manila. It saves us a lot of time and money. I also like the freedom and privilege of being able to go where I want go... and I can even go out solo ;-)
Manila is a very harsh urban jungle. The terribly heavy traffic exhausts me (that's why I take the LRT/MRT)... air pollution is horrible. The place is dirty. Crime rate is high and Manila is overly populated.
Peaceful, clean & green, and very livable. Bacolod City is an ideal place to raise a family. It may not be a big city but it has everything... reputable universities, nice shopping malls, resorts, gym, posh bars and restaurants, parks, etc.
Its a small place and everybody knows everybody. People don't really mind their own business most of the time, lol! ;D
