Don't get involved with local politics, local politicians / businessmen or their way of life. They are not interested in our point of view, you will only make enemies of the locals and you will not change a thing.

 

This is an interesting thread. I have three adult children here in the USA. One has a master's degree and is a math professor at a college. He will have his doctorate in one year. One daughter has her bachelor's degree and teaches English to people who primarily speak another language. And I have a daughter that just cares about herself and what she can have people give her by playing on their sympathies. Funny thing is they are 28 year old triplets.

It just goes to show even though they were raised identically, they all have their own identity . My wife and I have no plans on having our own children as we are both in our 50's but my wife's sister just had a baby. Once we get there full time in about 6 years we will treat her like our own daughter. I am excited to see how she turns out versus my kids here with all the challenges and difficulties she will face growing up there.

With family in two countries, what happens to both after we die is a small concern. But we live with the knowledge we have done all we can to prepare them for life, and can only hope they will take advantage of what they have learned and been given, and succeed.

 

So my daily routine (I have a wife and son). Mon-Sat mornings gym in Dauin, Tue-Thur drop my boy off at Don Bosco, Mon-Wed-Fri afternoon boy's soccer practice at school, Saturday afternoon boy's karate training at Bambulo. most mornings after the gym home and search internet (USA Today, ESPN, check fantasy football, watch BBC news on TV, sandwich for lunch, wife makes chicken or fish for dinner, drink some wine and watch Netflix. go to town once a week, mainly Belcris and Sofia's. Life is good.

 

Hey all, a few changes being made, there has been a lot sh*t going on behind the scenes.....got to love expat life hey, the changes will be for the better, gonna filter out some of the customers, move to changes we have always wanted.....all will happen over the next week or 2 but it will be open starting tomorrow for pizza and basics whilst changes are made.

 

You will still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not ....

 

Perchance we could keep this post related to school openings (which is a very important issue for many here), rather than yet another discussion on the pros and cons of face masks?
