    I spent August, September and October riding around Negros and Cebu island, mostly with Gio and other friends. the most epic roads are around Negros: the road that goes From Bacolod , San Carlos and back to Duma it's a must. Back in Duma for a whole year this coming September; hopefully we will meet at some point. I appreciate your sensible approach to Phiippines. Thank you for sharing

    I’am a lot older than you, at 70 and my fitness level and weight have so improved in the 3 years I’ve been living in Thailand. I do a 5K run once a week in around 28mins with a running club, play badminton, swim regularly, loads of walking, weights in the gym. Being older I won’t ever need to do more than a couple of hours a day of strenuous exercise. It takes time to climatize to the heat and humidity, so it’s important to slowly adjust! Another opportunity to meet more people is the Hash House Harriers groups, if you google them they have many groups in Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia where it started many years ago!

    Hi Chris!
    You look really happy. I mean I'm just comparing from the first few videos I watched of yours to this one today, this one you look really happy.
    Glad to hear that you're enjoying Pinas (short for Pilipinas) I'm glad that you are starting to venture out meeting new people, getting new friends.
    Have you ever experienced a typhoon yet since you've been there? It usually from the start from June thru about September or October, sometimes November, it's the rainy season and that's when typhoon come through the island.
    Have you seen a Shakey's Pizza there yet? 😄. They're actually not bad. When I lived there, my Ya-ya love's Shakey's and I took her there often.
    And I am also glad to hear that your health is getting better. Like the saying goes health is wealth.
    Looking forward to more of your videos. 😊

      As far as storms, nothing big yet. Once was close but went north. I believe the season will be starting up in September. I have a plan around that so it'll be interesting.
      I haven't tried Shakey's pizza and others too have mentioned how good it is. I'll have to try it.

    Chris - great update. Good to know that things are working out well for you, and that you’re really happy with how things are shaping up there. I’m glad you also shared some of the nerves that you had the first couple months there, where you may have second guessed your decision a little and been a little concerned about whether you made a good decision to leave it all and move out there. I can imagine that I will go through that, hopefully make it through that, as I get settled and begin figuring things out. Not in the Philippines yet, however! Stay well.

You can find groups that do anything you like to do and join them. If you want to go out at night, go to good areas and nice bars. Filipinos like to see friends regularly even almost everyday and constantly be in communication with them.

    Hey Chris, that sounds like some great plans you have going! Congratulations on getting the bike registered. I still think it's crazy to have to wait 3 months for the registration to go through. I've heard it's common for people to get a plate made and stick it on their vehicle until the real one goes through. It's probably a good idea that you chose to do it the right way.

    Hey Chris, nice update and glad you are digging it on the idea of living in Cebu. I was just recently back there in the April-May time frame and stayed at an Airbnb at the Horizon 101 tower. Ayala mall is my favorite mall there. Sounds like you have now got your feet firmly planted on the ground there. Yea! I can imagine that you feel that it is time to spread your social wings a bit more. In not meaning to sound egotistical just be confident in knowing and remember that "You Are The Prise" (as in foreigner) there! If you are looking for Filipina dating material shooting for 5 to 6s (scale) are a good start. If you are looking for marriage material you should be shooting for a 10. All the best and happy hunting!

    Ya, I'll definitely look you up if and when I get there as you suggested on your reply in an earlier video. However, there is a new factor (other than the testing/muzzling requirement to fly there) that makes me hesitate even more to pull the trigger. It is the elephant in the room: the possible escalation of the current tension in the WPS to a full-on conflict. Cebu is the second largest metro area in PH not to mention the presence of an air base in Mactan that is designated as one of the EDCA sites.

    Chris just suggestion, I am a filipino and I worked for 7 years in Washington.
    About the dating, I highly recommend you to go to birthday's and weddings or any celebrations of Filipino neighborhood or friends there and meet Filipinas. Instead of using dating apps like tinder or tantan or just plain Facebook dating. You can meet decent and educated Filipinas in these events, and don't you worry, they are more than happy to welcome you in their parties, don't ever think that you are crashing the party or unwelcome. It's some sort of a bragging rights for them to have you on their party. Go and socialize bro, don't be afraid. Filipinos are warm and not rude at all. Don't be shy and hitch every big celebration you can see, all the aunties and the ladies will be there curious about you. Good luck!

      Wow.... in the United States. Going to parties or a wedding when not invited could cost you your life. Ya.... thats how serious crashing a partie or a wedding can be.
      So, if I understand you correctly. Philippino Women go to these events, to potentially meet a romantic partner? Well that makes sense. So... if a "expat" goes to a wedding, in the Philippines, what is the proper etiquette?
      Should they bring a gift? And how does a person respond when asked why are you at this wedding? What I have discovered is, food is extremely important and serious. So I do have a few questions:
      Is it OK to eat any food? And should the vistor ask first? And if you don't eat, is it considered rude? Do you wait for others, before eating?
      Also, when visiting any new place, I have discovered that being quite, humble, polite, and respectful. Goes a longs way in earning acceptance. Also, doing a little research before going helps a lot.

    Just curious, why use dating apps, i've heard it's always better boots on the ground. Most CZcamsr's say it's best to find in person and it's easy to find someone, so I would really be interested in knowing the reason why it would be necessary to use a dating app.

      Thanks for the reply! I think it will be interesting following your journey on finding a good girl, I follow a lot of CZcamsrs and noticed even when they live there they find girls online, that's why I'm a little confused at if you live there and others make it seem easy to find a girl I don't understand why they couldn't meet them in person. I have been to the Philippines last January to see someone I met online and seems to be a good girl, I just think it would be interesting seeing what it takes to find someone without going on a dating app.

    The ideal situation is for 25 year old Filipina to marry a 65 year old foreigner. In 20 years, he dies... for 20 years of taking care of a wiser older man she gets roughly 60 years of SS and retirement benefits. Financial example: $3500.00 month x 12 months x 60 years....thats $2.5 million. it's a no-brainer for any smart gal. Thats 142 million in Philippine pesos after he passes.
