🇵🇭 10 RAW DOG Reasons - RETIRE in the Philippines

If you like animal noises…IF YOU DON’T… ANSWER…Bose Noise Cancelling headphones & earbuds with white noise app on phone 9. If you have a medical condition… 10. If you like to explore…

11. If you are a huge loser who never got attention from females all your life.

[@eddiesaninocencio6635]

If you like being scammed, if you like waiting 4 hours to see a doctor or waiting in the emergency for hours because the docotr is at home, need down payment before your seen while blood dripping from your wound, you have unqualified medicaal staff all they do is sty on their cell phone, if you like unannounced power outages, if you like driving from hell, no morals, people dedicating in the streets, beggars preying on expats, have to feed the Filipina girlfriend and her family, everyone is trying to scam you, then come to the Philippines where its main export is slave labor.

Hi Scotty. On your scooter purchase. You do not need the power, UNTIL YOU NEED THE EXTRA POWER. You will need the extra power when you tour around in STEEP mountain areas. Especially if you have a lady on the back. You will really notice and need extra power with a load on your bike and going up hills. Or, you will really appreciate the extra power on a really long ride. If you want a lower powered one that is OK too. It will work perfect for you about 80% of the time. Or, maybe later give the low power scooter to your lady, then buy a big power one for yourself. Q is a smart guy on bikes.

[@jamesballard6564]

Scott is the perineal optimistic pesimest. The dark sense of humor is up my alley. It's all true though, you have to make concessions for affordability. Nice having you back buddy.

[@ValentinaMitchell1]

What a great video! Well organized! A lot of things mentioned I would have never have thought of. I like the animal noises but the distress kind is tough to hear. Some things remind me of how it is in the Caribbean but you just can’t beat beauty!

[@tedjohnson4451]

Glad to see you posting. 154 Work/ 226 Calendar Days from Retirement. What an idea: A mall as a Retirement Home. Beats a Nursing Home in the west. As for the rest of the "irritants"... I work in Education Support, I'll be retiring after 29 years. If I didn't have patience, I would have run screaming for the exit long ago. Healthcare is one of the REASONS I'll be moving to the Philippines. Depending on the Service, in comparable facilities, with comparable Staff... You get BETTER care for 8% to 15% of the price in the US. Animals: I was a 4-H kid with Chickens, Ducks, Geese, and other noisy animals in the neighborhood...

"If this waterfall was in Thailand, they would have built a resort around it..." Scotty Boy, comedic genius, proves powerfully once again why he is one of You Tube's greatest storytellers and advocates for life in the Philippines and the beautiful Philippine people. "They just don't care". "They don't care if there's a hair in your breakfast..." "They don't care!" Regular Guy RULES!

Great post here and I’m glad you brought these issues to light. Im always hesitant to say anything because I’m met with all the excuses made for the poor uncaring service thats not given here in this country. Ive come to expect bad service when I’m out, but the lack of carrying still irks me. Thanks for sharing!

The Nmax is not overly powerful ,you just need to get used to it. Buying a bit larger/faster bike than you are comfortable with is typically recommended for novice riders. After a week or two of carefull riding, it will be perfect.

Hi Scotty. Please take a motorcycle/scooter riding safety course. You will learn a lot of important information. Do it on your own bike or one just like it if possible. Nobody wants you to get injured and there are very real risk on 2 wheels. Get a bike with ABS. Traction control is even better if it is an option on the bike your want. Learn to use your front brake and about countersteering. Start learning now to get the head knowledge then you can apply it on the bike when you have it. Find an open area like an empty parking lot and practice practice practice. Get out of the city and in the province everything with be much better for a new rider.

[@TB-xx4gc]

"Learn to use your front brake...." I would add, "In conjunction with the rear brake!" Never use the front brake alone or your next round of stories might be told from a hospital bed.

[@codywy5579]

Great advise! I did the haley Davidson course many years ago before abs, taught threshold braking, control skids and most important keeping your bike straight. As for your question they basically are lose of traction accidents. Been riding for 50 years .

Thanks once again Scottie, I have been patiently waiting for next video. Nice job as usual. I am getting excited to visit the Phillis. If all goes well it will be in April. First stop Malaybalay then Samal Island. Good luck with scooter adventure. Just a word of advise from a veteran motorcycle rider, that power that scared you would soon dissipate in a short time frame maybe 2 weeks and you will no longer notice it. What you will notice is a bike that is under powered and hate it.

[@koufax174]

I agree with you 100%! All these KZbinrs talk so black and white about each topic you said when in fact there is mostly grey. I like the Phillipines because everything is not so intense and life and death like the US. The US is so over regulated. So much drama repetitively in US news. I stop watching news here. Americans in general are contentious. I respect people wherever I go. It’s not my country. I get along very well abroad. It’s a great adventure. Great video.

I agree with you, and also am a veteran. I feel a near existential compulsion to be concerned with my own country. But politics and news has gotten toxic, there are no easy answers.

[@dollarjilt1]

I’ve been in the Phils 9 years divided between my first stay 2006-2013 and came back June 2022 to now. In between I lived in Taiwan, top notch people and country, Cambodia and Vietnam. Cambodia and Vietnam being SE Asian countries have similar problems that you mentioned in this and other videos (and some of the positives) but not as many problems like here (my humble opinion). But the take-away to surviving in the Phils (same in Vietnam) is finding a work-around as you talked about… to that long ATM line, that waitress that ignored you, that creep that pushed in front of you at Mercury Drug (why does it always happen at a druge store?) etc. It's how I keep my sanity and it works. Cheers & beers

[@MikeHoncho884]

Get the 160 cc scooter don’t be scared! Make sure it has disc brakes on front and back maybe even antilock brakes. When you’re traveling, you’re going to love the extra power when you’re climbing hills. And with disc brakes, front and back you’re going to love them when you’re going downhill. Personally, I’d buy a 400 cc motorcycle that way when you’re going downhill, you can use a lower gear to slow yourself down and save on the brakes.

I can't lie, man.The hygeine issue's a little scary for me. Here in the states, after taking a number 2, we wipe with TP and flush it down. Result: no poop on our hands, but we still wash afterwards. In the Phils however, the "tabo" method of washing your crotch with water with your bare hand after taking a number 2 scares the (pardon the pun) sh*t out of me. There's no way in hell you'll convince me the "tabo method" doesn't result in sh*t particle contamination EVERYWHERE. I guess if you move there as an expat, your immune system adjusts to the higher bacteria content in the food. Most expat vloggers say the first few months can be a little rough, until your system adjusts.

[@Regular_Guyph]

I still think tp is the only way to go after a year here

[@kennyh5083]

Dude, If you have to argue with someone on why it is a great place to live then you do not understand that they are just not cut from the same cloth as we are! Thailand is for those who have money and luv fine cuisine, the Philippines is for those men who are true cowboys at heart! (and I happen to be one) With 7,300 Islands and mostly farmers who still use Oxen to ploy their fields and real Christian women everywhere despite being introduced to it via Catholicism, they simply fear God and luv Jesus and obey the Holy Bible and NOT the Catholic re-written perversion of one! IMO the Philippines is as good as it gets for a country buy like me in his 60's!@@Regular_Guyph

The biggest take is the adjustment..it’s give and take. The Filipino’s can be a odd bunch …like you said in a resto doing f*** all..when they should be serving ..literally not giving a shit. That has to be called out ..this happens in generally establishments poorly run. Which I hasten to add is most of the phil’s..I put it down to the way they were raised. My Filipina is middle class professional and it drives her bonkers how unprofessional Filipino generally are…I have three people that work full time for us.And we’ve had to pull them up for things you think a kid should do..ie turning up ..telling you they are not turning up( they live on the phones but all of a sudden there phone is not working) it’s basically there up bringing. It’s just adjustment..knowing when and where to push it..we are not in the west so just need to deal with the inconsistencies but..but there’s lots and lots of positives with the Filipino so it’s a win in the end.

But they all run free mad a drive me crazy sometimes barking. But no big deal life is too short to worry about the dogs if I want them to be quiet I just go outside impact them and play fetch and they are happier than pig in mud, we have a cat that annoys the crap out of me, this cat kills every single mouse around even jumps up onto the ceiling rafters and chased them. But you know one thing I'm very happy that cat does his job. Like I mentioned before I love the Philippines I love the women I love the culture.
