Diversity in the Philippines

Good Day All,

      Great to see cultures interacting on this forum. Again, I'm Carson, raised in Dubai for 15 years and hasn't been home lately. I did study in Dubai in Cambridge College. I love to travel. I've been to 20 countries mostly.

      Heavily influenced by the British, American, Arab and South African cultures, I feel a bit isolated.

      Looking for people to rendezvous, and to be connected. Whatever activity possible, that's alright as long as it's something significant.

Cheers everyone!

Hi dkcape,

       Hoe gaan dit met jou? Ek is Filipino Boer. Haha! Ek praat bietjie afrikaans. I like Kurt Darren songs, Glaskas, and even Dalarey! Haha..I'm listening to South African music. Trying to learn the languages more so I can find more mooi meisies in Zuid Afrika.

       I like SA wines especially the Stellenbosch wines. There's not much of SA wines here. Maybe we can make some business.

       If you want to discuss more about this, add me in skype. My skype id is arknoshe.

       Praat jou weer

Dear all on Philipine Islands,
Like to spend more times in your beautifull countrie but have also to survive.  My idea is to build prefab houses. Who knows regulations about importtax, how to buy a lot and is it possible to be owner as a foreigner of a lot.  and also, is it possible for a foreigner to open an bankaccount.
Who will help me?  and when I can do something for you, let me know ok.  Willem from Hollad

When I read all the comments, it is not easy for a foreigner to start living in Philippine country. I am planning to live in your countrie becuase it's so beautifull everywhere you look. before leaving my countrie I like to make some friends via this community.  Friends wich can tell me about life, what to do and what not to do.

It is because you'll have a prefabricated house.
But usually, it is just easy to find a house here.
