Thanks for the update. I used to live in Naga with my sister and grandma back in the early 70's . The city has grown so much based on the videos you've shown Chris. Glad your doing well.

I'm sure the people of Naga are grateful and will be glad to assist you in showing their beautiful city to the world.

[@stevetipps5876]

got a tip for you to be cooler. on your first floor- place a fan opposite the sun and bring in the cooler air. second-place the fan blowing out of your upstairs bedroom window. as the sun changes during the day then move the bottom fan to the other direction. I think that will give you a little more relief from the heat and the humidity. give me a shout if that helps.

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+Steve Tipps I will try it out Steve, thank you.

Hey Chris, My wife of 17 years who is an islander love watching your videos. It is very refreshing seeing you producing again. Hey Chris, take some advise from an Old Trusting Goat, first take care of Chris, then and Only then start to think of saving those around you. Chris we have followed the videos of the other You Tubers. We believe due to your kind nature you have been taken advantage of.

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+RICKY CAMACHO walang anuman po

[@OurPhilippineLife]

Hey Chris, not meaning to repeat myself, but my saying I prefer "travel videos" was to distinguish videos that people (not just you) make which show the countryside and surroundings - such as when you showed us the Naga City parade and the boats - as opposed to what some people do (not referring to you) which just have someone talking into a camera the whole time. In other words, if you show us a video of Naga City, your neighborhood, the surrounding area, etc. - then THAT is what I enjoy the most. I was not saying I expect you to travel all over the Philippines on $575 per month (or $300 now). I hope you understand what I was trying to say. Todd P.

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+Our Philippine Life Hi Todd, understood and video's of that nature or queued to be uploaded. Thanks for the clarification.

[@foreveryoung1638]

I also live in Naga City and my wifi signal is pretty good. I am using Smartbro Pocket Wifi. It only costs 888pesos one time payment when you bought the gadget at the store and the monthly top up for an unlimited internet access is only 995.

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

Thanks for the information. #thebritinthephilippines.com

[@StellaMoon777]

You have a really nice place. I think I like it better than your previous one. I would like to see videos on your surroundings and interactions with the people so I as well as others can learn more about life there in Naga City. Thanks for update Chris.

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+Stella Moon I will show you those video's soon. Thank you.

[@bloodandwinearered]

Very nice place Chris. If it was too hot to sleep upstairs, your sofa would be a comfortable bed as well with all those pillows. Great to have a fridge. You seem to have a rice cooker or appliance to boil water. Do you do much cooking? Or do you eat with others?

[@cundallthepieman]

For your internet, if i were you i would buy the mywifi box which costs 1,495 peso to put your sim card in and then pay 1,000 peso a month for unlimited internet... It might just be me, but i always check the internet speed before i move - saying that i only have 1Mbit in QC and 50Mbit in the UK

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+cundallthepieman Thank you, I will look into it..

[@cundallthepieman]

no worries, if you buy the pocket wifi at 1,495 peso (fixed price) from globe or anyone selling globe - you get 1gig of free data, but after that you can either reload or unlock the pocket wifi unit to use any network for $2 - from this company (it's who i used) facebook.com/FastrunTechnology - any issues let me know...

[@megarcia128]

Oh by the way I like your videos. I have learned new things. More please!

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+Me GARCIA There is more just takes a day or more to upload..lol

[@hoodwinkedbyanangelmichaelfazi]

I HAVE SOME ADVICE FOR YOU That's a Nice place and good luck with your new house Chris especially for the price BUT I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT SIGNING ANY INTERNET CONTRACTS With Either Global or Smart... Most of their installation contracts are for 24 months And Typically 1000 Pesos Each Month +3500 pesos for the installation fee and if you break the contract you are required to pay 24,000 pesos or 1000 pesos for each from your original contract date month. MANDATORY.! YOU SHOULD ALSO NOTE; you are never allowed to move the Internet location to a new residence and it's in the fine print so don't believe what they say at the store you will be required to pay the balance of 24 months and you will not be able to relocate your Internet service without signing a completely new contract for 24 additional months. Perhaps it is different where you live but I have not seen any different contracts since I have been here in the Philippines so be careful what you signed and best wishes for you in your new place

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+HoodwinkedbyanAngel Michael Fazio Hi Michael, good to here from you. I have made several attempts to have Globe and smart fitted, filled out the paperwork and never heard from either company again. The Mayor of Naga City going to set u a room in the town hall for bloggers to have access to free fast internet, so I guess I will just have to wait. Thanks for the advice, it really is good to hear from you.

[@hoodwinkedbyanangelmichaelfazi]

Your welcome Cris....and dont let any one tell u to spend 1200 peso 4 a portable wi-fi... You use all the band with up uploading a 60 second hi-def video.! after that it takes 1000 minutes of slow upload for the next 4 min of a 5 min video its a total ripoff amping

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+JACK ASHE Thank you my friend...

[@Jeanetteslagt]

I'll be moving to the Philippines in a few days. And blogging about it and posting vids on my channel. But if people are demanding certain stuff they want to see in my videos I think they should pay me to do so. We all are in the Philippines for our own purposes, not for the audience. Our videos are merely a gesture to the public. So to those demanding travel: Donate a trip! And you get wat you want. :-)

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+Leaving Holland Hi there, this is my thought on the subject of donations. I moved to the Philippines on a budget no one would ever think was viable and I wanted to make video's to document my journey, a lot of people who have lived here a long time predicted trouble, however, I was determined to make it work and as you maybe aware, trouble and sickness came, to the point that I was so close to going home, at that point I could of asked for donations, but have always been of the opinion, it's my boat and it's up to me to keep it a float, the point being, I knew what I was getting myself into and it was not up to someone else to bail me out. Now back to video donation, yes I have a donate button on my web page, but it is voluntary and always will be, because I do not want to be put under any pressure regards content, quantity, or location and once you ask for donations, you would and will be expected to cover places and or content for which to donation was given? Once you are here and making video's, you will find lots of challenges and one of them will be the money it costs to produce the video's you will never get back, the next is the time it takes to edit, it all takes time and looks so easy, but it's not. I think you will find getting your content right to where people want to watch what you post, will not be easy, because even I get it wrong and probably will continue to do so, you will also be faced with the day to day stuff of getting round without help when you first arrive and that will be hard. I think when you get here and start making your video's you will reflect and wish you had never made a negative comment or gave a thumbs down, not that I am saying you have. I think the only thing us bloggers can wish for, is that people see the effort, time and money we put in to our channels and websites and decide in some small way to reward us, to help us improve and produce more video's and helpful information. I wish your journey well my friend.

[@mikepinder8128]

great deal for 2500 pesos! sorry to hear about your low budget there. i visited there back in 2009 i would think to have a decent life there would need a bout $1,000 a month

[@skywatcher4420]

Thanks Chris.. As a suggestion do a wifi scan with your computer see if anyone close has a decent signal If so find out who it is and consider making an offer to share the wifi on a monthly basis so no tied down contract.. Those dongles are usually ok if you are close to the signal source and not to many others subscribing ( lots of youtube content on boosting your signal ) .. Looking forward to future productions.. I could do with some of that £36/$54 M Rental well done for finding that twice.. Take care.

Don't under estimate how much people who are thinking of moving to the Philippines on a budget are interested in mundane day to day things a fella like you gets up to, like. where do you eat,? what do you eat? (by the way, did you know you can make a nice home made stew in a rice cooker?) where do you shop? what do you buy? what do you see as you take local transport? etc etc. It's a pain in the ass about your poor internet service, but ya know what's a bigger pain in the ass? . . .

Its seems like youre using Globe stick? I would advise you don't use Globe because they have no unlimited plans and it seems like uploading videos (even short ones) is bandwidth intensive.

Another option is that you can just buy a LTE sim and plug it in your phone and just tether it by cable or just create a hotspot to connect to your PC. This should as fast or even faster than the stick. Cheers

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

[@megarcia128]

+A Brit in the Philippines Chris Wren lol hahaha.

[@Raubkopierer100]

Its a nice home! I can image to live there. I hope you will find a Place to stay longer. Have you any Health ensurance? Is it possible to bring the internet in this home with cable or so ? If my son has his own existence in Germany i will perhaps go to the Philippines, because Europe is not worth living anymore, especially when the Retirement is not enough to pay the Rent in in the € Countries. - and if i come, i will take a go pro with me, it seems a fantastic camera. I wish you the best and enjoy your new home, im a little jealous. :D

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+Raubkopierer100 The reasons you state are some of a long list of why I moved to the Philippines, if you get it right, get it wrong and it won't end well.

[@fareva9650]

im just looking 4 a low cost housing and i want it to pay monthly?

[@lindabrown0]

.................great Chris. You have a roof over your head and money for food. All the armchair travelers who want you to go all over the place to show them stuff can just get their index finger ready and push the donate button (lol). I'm happy to see whatever you produce.............Good luck and good health in your new place.

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+linda brown Donations are very humbly accepted, but always a choice and will never be asked for, if a donation is made, I know who has made it. I know you were joking Linda, thank you.

[@muisenahta1]

kindly may i know which exact place in naga city street name

[@peemark7893]

happy xmas ... would you ever consider selling your uk house and buying say ...10 and renting them out for income??

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+Mark Waite No, because at the moment at least the rents are not high enough to get a decent return and there is the little problem of not being able to own the land they sit on. If I had been married for a long time and had another income, then maybe I would consider it. Happy Christmas.

[@FabianBlandford]

tell us the pesos to pounds equivalent

[@peemark7893]

how much would it cost to buy a place like that?

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+Mark Waite About £7000 Happy Christmas.

[@EricCorbeza]

You could buy a usb extension cable so you could place your internet stick on a more suitable place. About your internet, is it globe, smart or sun? It costs 999 to get internet for a month for globe tattoo prepaid sticks. :)

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+Frederick Corbeza (Eric) Hi Frederick, it's Globe tattoo.. thanks for your info.

[@mrshemminger]

+A Brit in the Philippines Chris Wren They have a promo on globe tattoo stick i used to use when i needed backup internet. I think up to 1 Gigabyte or 3 days whichever first for 100 pesos. so you probably can get away with loading it 10 times a month (every 3 days) for 1000 pesos.

[@jeffgulbro2845]

How is it different from Cebu?

+Jeff Gulbro Hi jeff, you will have to be more specific, because I can't watch my own video's on KZbin. thebritinthephilippines.com

[@iliketheodds2575]

for P2,500, that's a pretty decent-looking flat albeit incomplete.

[@ABritinthPhilippines]

+iliketheodds Thanks!

[@justgojustdoit3363]

And yet.....with all due respect because I have lived i several places, the cheapest being on Siquijor for 7500. BUT yes you CAN FIND a place for 1000 pesos but there are some thing that come with it; How is the NOISE THERE? You already said internet not good? Noise may not bother you but to others here the Philippines can be VERY NOISY and neighbors near can be extremely noisy........and nosy. The "CHEAT WINDOWS" i had to exchange for real windows in several places because the outside noise was beyond. So what about those kinds of things there? I will gladly pay more to escape some of the dross of life when you stay in a very "cheap" place. As we say in the states; You get what you pay for.
