wow.. $60.. that's like 3000 pesos... so cheap! Funny.. in the U.S.A some people would spend that on dinner for two. I just love living here. If i stayed living in the U.S. i wouldn't be able to retire until I'm 62. But now.. I can start enjoying my retired life at age 51 while i'm still younger.. and able to do things ... anyway.. great channel. I like how you show how it really is here!

Being a single guy, I could live in that place. I could deal with the Filipino style toilet as long as I put a seat on it. I would need aircon in the bedroom at least but that place is small enough it probably wouldn't cost a lot more to cool the whole place.

Because of the hot and hotter weather in the Philippines, people take a bath to cool them down that's why Filipinos are not used to hot water bath. During summer months you'll sweat profusely few minutes after an afternoon shower. I

Having lived in the Philippines at Clark Air Base long time ago in 1991. For that price. It is really a great steal for the locals who would love that or a foreigner who really is tight on a budget. Bravo on that property. I know most foreigners would be great if they pay at $150 US per month there.

Are there any places built more western style. I don’t like long narrow rooms like that. Those homes would be a no-go for me. I don’t like being right up on everyone either. I would want a house with square rooms and a yard. I am seriously thinking about coming to the Philippines but I didn’t work hard my whole life to live like that. Not saying I need a large place. That main room as you call it is a hallway. There is enough square feet, just built wrong. Half as long as twice as wide would give some useable / livable space.
