Living in Cebu

In early 2006 I will be moving to Cebu, Philippines with the entire family.

Philippine
Dreams

New book just published that has everything you want to know about the Philippines and more. Learn How to:

Get "Out of the Rat Race" and Live Like a King for under a Thousand Dollars a Month in Paradise.

Listen to what one happy client had to say ...

"I've been to the Philippines twice and will venture to say that this book covers all bases. This book is a first hand guide from first hand experience. It is a must read for anyone planning on living or even just visiting the Philippines, from the 1st timer to the long term veteran. It doesn't get any better then this....Ben Bazy"

One Trip to the Philippines and you will be Hooked for Life, I Guarantee It!

Big Clean up and through out

Today it really started to feel like we are moving. The entire day was spent in a biggest ever clean up and through out. Have a big truck arriving tomorrow afternoon to take the junk away.

Since moving into our house almost six years ago we have conducted half a dozen such clean ups but this was by far the most ruthless. Even our kitchen table was chucked out. I got sick of fixing the chairs and at a dinner party a short while ago the wife put a dish that was way too hot. The result was a server discoloration. As it is only a veneer and not sold wood table we decided that we can do without a kitchen table for the remaining few months. The move really feels imminent now.

Yesterday we went to my brothers for a family get-together and were treated to a ride in his recently restored custom 55 Cadillac. He has spent the last five years restoring it and has done an amazing job.

This is the type of thing you do not see in the Philippines. I have heard of a few expats and wealthy Filipinos having exotic cars but these are few and far between. You almost never see anything on the road that would turn your head.

My brother also has a fully restored 1930 A Model Roadster. I have only ever seen one Vintage car in the Philippines and it was rusting away. It was located in Intramuros and reported to have belonged to the first President.

Anyway I will be back on the job tomorrow cleaning up as the truck will come in the aftertoon.
