    So had a delivery one time for an elementary school in the US, it was lunchtime and the kids were in the gym/cafeteria. They were so loud, could barely hear the teacher right next to me. When I mentioned it the teacher said they let them get it out of their system at lunch so they can teach them in class. Think kids being loud is universal...lol
    Nice to see Kat and Chrissy getting along so well. Congrats to Chrissy and Rob on their marriage. Thanks for showing this beautiful home, Michael...Jim

      Many many years ago, our family doc (in USA), used to laugh about when it was time for jr or senior high school athletes to present to his clinic for physical exams or immunizations, the waiting room would be a din of deafening noise! Could not hear yourself speak for the staff calling in each student upon their turn…that twas the case for the girls’ day of physicals! 😲😆🙉For boys’ day, waiting room was just as packed/crowded…& quiet as an empty church 🙊🚫🗣️. Yep, I can attest to that was the gospel truth then. 😆🤭😆

    People blabbing their mouth about cheap living are the reason why other expats and foreigners are overcharged so frequently. Not every foreigner has money to afford these things in the Philippines, I think that expats need to be more humble in public, it's okay to have things, but remember how much poverty exists in this country.

    I would never live in that part of the Philippines. When unrest comes you would be a target. Theres a reason the American embassy has travel warnings for that area of the Philippines. It is a beautiful area but not worth the potential risk. Needing a safe room says it all 😂

    So he will pay retirement house to someone else and once he pays it, they will kick him out. Thats why you should never rent. Always buy your own even if it should be some bamboo shack.
    Living like a kind is misleading clickbait. Kings lived much more lavish lifestyles. Visit some chateau in Europe to see how kings lived. 😀
