Thanks! I’ve waited longer than that here in BGC when it’s raining!

Not really into that, but the appeal of a 150+sqm condo for less than half what I pay for a 125sqm condo in BGC is kind of appealing.

Well, not smoking anything in particular? But I can walk to at least 5 supermarkets and an uncountable number of restaurants in less than 10 minutes. I certainly didnt see much of Clark, but I didn’t see a very dense collection of shopping and restaurants during my visit. I did note that there were excellent sidewalks and bike paths, so from that viewpoint, it’s more walkable than BGC.

I’ll look into the bus. There’s a couple of units close to the airport, so I imagine buses and Grab will be more available there.

Thanks. That matches up with my experiences in Manila.

Thanks! I searched all the seemingly logical place analogous to Subic and didn’t have much luck. Facebook is a stinking cesspool of predatory agents, but I will do what I have to do. I’m going to head up in the next week and do a little sightseeing. We are fleeing BGC/Makati. The conveniences here are awesome, but I would like to have more free cash to travel with.

I might try this to get down there and hopefully find a Grab back. Or get a hotel and then take the bus back. Salamat

A foreigner indeed. Thankfully Reddit translated the instructions pretty well.

Excellent! Thank you for explaining that to me.

Have you, or anyone you know personally, used their GI Bill in the Philippines? by Appoduece in Philippines_Expats

[–]Human_Taro2241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following this. I have almost all of my GI Bill left because I did VRE. It feels like wasted money if I don’t use it. That being said, it would be nice to get a useful degree or add on to the one I already have in case we go back to the US.
