      @@roswo I think they know their overweight, I don't think enabling is possible. I tell you what, I've travelled the world and lived in a number of countries, you have to be a very strong and resourceful person. These gentlemen are doing something 80% of people could never do. I doubt if they would even care what unkind people out here said. I'm sure they've heard it all on their journey. Probably why they wanted to make the move in the first place. Unkind people.

      True! I see a Corvette shirt, and I am sorry, but he could never get into my C6 Vette. Never, I am 5' 9" and mostly muscle 195 pounds, and I have to stay in shape to do it. These guys are in shape to do just what you see here, talk. Nothing else can happen for long at that size at that age. Butterbean was a freak of nature and much younger than this.

    I’m in the same boat. Selling all my stuff is daunting. It was -9F here yesterday, I won’t be missing that. My girlfriend is in Manila but I’ve already told her I won’t live there. I was in Dumaguete last feb/mar and I really liked it. It’s a little slow but I think I could get use to that.

    I agree it has to do with your attitude, and "What do you want from the city you live in" as I wasn't a fan of Manilla, BGC and Cebu although allot fo good small towns after visiting Dumaguete I too fell in love with the relaxed lifestyle. It wasn't till later i met a lady there and she sealed the deal with her and her family. I plan on joining these guys "Boots on the Ground" in June. Having been there multiple times and exploring half of Negros Oriental, and All of Cebu along with other small islands. Paul is as Nice and Real in person although a busy guy and careful as some of others are not as good but Best thing was friendships i made with Filipinos as they are truly Nice, Gentle people.

    Wow, Paulie, now I cannot decide where I want to settle yet! After seeing & hearing the great stories and viewpoints of Danny, Rick and that "Finger Guy" (joke lang)!! I just might have to spend more than a week there to get the feel of the Duma community. I have seen the other vloggers coming to Dumaguete to me you, Mark T. & Justin, but they all seem to just come & go for a few days without looking into the relationship dynamics of the Expat community living there. I truly regret that we have not spent as much time getting to know each other over the past 3 years, but touching on Rick's comments about feeling alone... In the late 90's when I married my 2nd wife (the baliw Russian girl), I bought a new home in a new development. For the 8 years I lived there, I only met 5 of my neighbors and NONE OF THEM were very sociable. I remember as a kid in the 60's & 70's visiting my relatives in Kentucky & North Carolina how neighbors would sit on the porch and have conversations across the street from each other. Things are so divisive in the U.S. that neighbors seem to be afraid to meet other people. Even now, I look outside in this townhouse community and I see no neighbors outside socializing. I look forward to making my way down to Duma. Thanks again, for all the great content & sage advice, Paul. Thanks also to Rick, Danny & Goldfinger for sharing their stories, perspectives and thoughts on Dumaguete City.

    I just finished watching this on You Tube on my TV and I so much enjoyed the expats you interviewed. I won't get into my experience with my Filipina and my trips to the Philippines and our once-dreams of moving and retiring there. I am divorced 15 years now, retired of course, and came upon yours and like channels and I tune in every so often to see how you are progressing. Loved today's show because even in my limited experience with my wife and the Philippines I can relate to much of what you gentlemen talked about. Once my dream of us retiring to the Philippines was crushed, I never looked back. I think watching your channel sometimes - and others - sort of makes me reflect on things I felt during my Philippine experience with the place and the people and the Filipinas. And I think, finally, it makes me happy to see other men my age discovered what I discovered and - even though I don't live there and won't be visiting ever again - I'm happy you guys found your happiness too - because I am very happy. And it feels good to know I'm not alone. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU. Thanks for a wonderful interview. I wish ALL OF YOU wonderful years ahead. With your attitude I'm sure you will enjoy them. JOE

The humidity and heat seems like you're living in a sauna. You sweat/perspire much and such is excretion of loads of toxins and water from the body. Just hydration-- and toxins out is best. The humidity can be unpleasant especially if you first arrived, not acclimatized.
