I am moving to the Philippines to get away from all the ridiculous political banter, yet here it is. I have resigned myself to the fact that unhappy people have infected all points on the planet. If you don't like what is happening with US ... Read More

@danfinn It is not so much an apartment, but much more a seasonal inn. Even so, both my fiancé and I thought it was expensive, but I liked the convenience. I think I am better off now with a small brick and mortar structure co-located with ... Read More
