1st and foreskin!  Plese refrain from using a captilized "MY" in your thread titles as MY is clearly a copyrighted abbreviation of MadYank and it just won't do for it to be used unofficially or without the express written consent of MadYank Industries.

2nd!  Do you really live in Manila? If so, why do you live in the slums? If not so, what be your point?

Firstly SIR, please accept my sincerest apologies, as it was never my intention to upset anybody on this forum, especially somebody as yourself, a fine upstanding contributor (i have enjoyed reading all of your posts).

Please be assured this mistake of using your trademark without permission will NEVER happen again.

Secondly, No I don't live in Manila, but I do live in the Philippines. If you viewed the other 2 pictures I posted i am sure somebody of your intelligence would recognise I was just trying to portray 2 differing sorts of life here.

The Philippine Government and Tourism Board will have foreigners believe that the Philippines is a beautiful place, which on the whole it is, but there is an awful lot of poverty in the country as well, in my own small way I was just trying to show you all that there is a different side to the Philippines.

Once again please accept my humblest apologies, and I hope in the future you will not deem it necessary to reprimand me again.

Yours most humble

Sorry bout the reprimand, but the solicitors insist on zealous trademark defences!

As for The Philipines, I saw your other post after responding to this one but yeah I get the idea. As an aside, are you a Brit Expat working in Philipines? Are you Philipino? DO you work reg job or some sort of NGO/comm relief job? 

PS the questions are genuine interest not a stir attempt in that I am seriously considering moving to Thailand meself for awhile.

A collection to help you on your way would, I feel sure, be enthusiatically supported. Don't tell the Thai's though.

I am a Brit, I moved here in Sept 2006(something of an impulse move), basically fed up in the UK, needed a change.

I dont work, i am retired, having sold my business, I do plan however sometime in the future to invest money here in some sort of project (not sure what yet).

At the moment i am just doing some voluntary stuff in the community, and sponsering local events, other than that i just play poker online, and walk on the beach, swim relax, and chat with you guys/girls on here.

I wish you all the best on your plans to go to Thailand (never been there) but have heard its very nice.

Ah! I see! Retired Expat. All very sensible. You can live quite comfortably in Philipines or Thailand on what would be bare subsistence in London or other major European cities.

I think Thailand is beautiful and the People are V fiendly, ,in general. The Philipines is similar, though there does seem to be a bit more "abject" poverty and political strife as of late (PS I haven't been to Philipines since Pinatubo blew its top back in 93 or 94, but I have spent a bit more time in Thailand.) If you ever get the hankering for a little local travel, I recco a trip to Thailand for some diffo exps.

PS Do you speak either Tagalog or Spanish? If not, ho isolated do you feel from the local culture? I speak basic Thai but need to improve sgnificantly to live there longterm.

I dont speak either, the area i am living the speak pangtagalog, their own dialect.

Fortunately, the majority speak very good english, and those that dont try very hard. Therefore i feel its only fair that i try my hardest to learn as much of their language as i possibly can.
