    I spent a few weeks in CDO back in 2022. In some ways it felt like a smaller Cebu. The Limketkai area near Robinsons was okay to stay in but I was always woken up by a nearby Mosque's call to prayer at 4:30am daily. The only area I liked was the uptown area, which was more modern. Saw quite a few expats around there at the condos and in the SM mall nearby. The downtown itself wasn't particularly nice.

    I just spent 10 days there. I stayed in Centrio Tower. Great breakfast place is CDO Hungry Breakfast. Kenny Rogers was horrible. Bigsby's was also good. Did all 3 of the malls and had a wonderful time. I will be moving permanently in early 2025. Probably spend the first year in Gingoog and then get a place in CDO Uptown.

    Very cool Alex you went to Cagayan De Oro. My parents have a boarding house that someone is renting there. I might go there with my parents for my Mom's birthday coming up but it's a long drive to where we have to pass through and my parents are in their 70's and I don't have a Filipino drivers license yet so we are not so sure yet. If me and my parents go there we have to pass a city called Butuan which is about 1 hour and 20 minutes by car and 2 hours and 20 minutes by bus and then from there a dangerous 6 hour drive because buses and cars have to drive up mountains and I've seen a few accidents along the way there but Cagayan is a nice city to be in and it's convenient to just walk to the malls right next to each other
