    Mark, this was another great guest. Very articulate and interesting The more of these interviews I watch, the more amazed I am at the trials and tribulations people have dealt with in their lives and still come through successfully. I'm sure it's not your intention, but the thing is, these interviews are convincing me to be more and more of a homebody. I'm just thanking my lucky stars to be safe, retired and hunkered down at home these days. And to not have a life partner. I don't know how, or why, you guys put yourselves through all of it, but I'm glad you're enjoying life.

As long as it does not fall on a holiday and enough staff to cover then it does not pose to be a problem.

    Raja Ampat in the Indonesian part of West Papua New Guinea, is also a top area for diving, it sits right in the middle of the Coral Triangle. The Indonesian archipelago and has exceptional house reefs! I found Taiwan to be just as developed as Japan, terrific country and people! He is spot on about the way the Asian government’s have total control over Covid, it’s the same in most countries, but in Western countries the public/media have much better communication and dialogue with its population. No, Marijuana is not completely legal, only the cultivation of very small amounts and it must not have more than 0.2% of THC, that’s allowed in coffee shops etc. It has CBD which can reduce anxiety etc but you won’t get high!

      Removal of the "smokestack" industries in the last 40 years has definitely improved air quality and the amount of blue sky visible . Temperatures have risen about 1.75 degrees C on average and the south coast doesn't see a lot of snow . However , the Met Office says there is 6% more rain over the whole of the UK . Most houses are better insulated and have climate control .

      I live in the best climate of England (Suffolk) and it's still miserable a lot of the time. When I lived in Sydney my mood was so much better. You don't really realise the impact until you come back to Blighty.

      I was born in London UK and I have truly travelled all over the world, for me there's nothing as good and as comfortable as London and the UK countryside is simply breathtaking as is Southern Ireland.

    Hi Mark I love watching your channel. Your style reminded me of Larry King. Where in Dumaguete are you guys hanging out. We will be going there this December maybe I'll have a chance of meeting you guys. Good luck

    Country hopping is nice. Most foreigners max 2 years in the Philippines.

    I have to say this " @ time log 25:48 our man tells us that he is 58 so he was born in 1964 . In the title of the Vid it's says London Expat which drew me to watch the interview. When he started talking I immediately knew his accent was Not a Londoner or any accent in the Greater London area, East , West , North or South London accent. He was T-Boned in London Town. There is NO London Town .. London Town is a phrase only used in music or poetry . The year dates and places he lived are questionable along with his dive qualifications , Chinese language skills in Six Months ?. Great Interview

    Hi Mark, interesting interview. I liked his story. I looked into paragliding. They have paragliding in Oslob. I would like take a refresher scuba class and have my gf take a beginner scuba class. Are the scuba certifications reasonably priced here.

    You are correct that the Philippines sea is the biggest marine diversity in the world. That is why China want to occupy the entire universe including the west Philippine sea.
