What Would You Do Different?

[Thomas]

 

I should have been listening to expats that are in my age range (40's), living here full-time, and sharing a similar attitude and outlook as me.  

 

So the younger expats have different visa needs than older ones? Younger ones know all about sending boxes and laws/rules etc? Can you give an example of advice on this forum or anywhere that is not applicable to any age? 

Need of Viagra   :)

 

(But I AGREE with your main point.)

Of course the nuts and bolts of living here apply to all foreigners, but I was referring more to quality of life and how much the foreigner REALLY enjoys living here.    I left my response vague so as not to offend anyone, but if I was a generation older and coming out of a 20 year bad marriage, I would enjoy the Philippines 10X more than I do.   ;)

I think I see your point :-) 

 

Not about the 20 year bad marriage but I am thinking about my life 20 years ago.  Up to about age 40 I could get f . .  anywhere, any time.  But the west can be generationally prejudiced and that does not seem to exist here.  That is probably why I enjoy life here 10x as much as I would have 20 years ago.

 Not absolutely sure I could cope with life after a 20 year marriage here.But i would sure give it a try  being some what tied up for that long I doubt this old System would Hold out too long sort of like being a Pup again, knowing my luck it would be maybe 1/2 years and f.... myself to . Hmmmmmmm I would no doubt forget my after noon naps  What a pity all this was not 20 years ago. I will just leave it all up to you Youngsters and  will off, for my Afternoon Tipple 

 

But Larry, I know exactly what you mean :thumbsup:  As I think after all this time I will be in my marriage for some time yet, then be to old to worry so, I will just stay with my strange Humour :unsure:
