Sage advice for the unhappy.

 

I think to level the playing field on this debate, there is one criteria that should be front and center, and that is “do you have money”? If so, there are hundreds of places one would rather retire in.
On the other end of the scale, if you come here with insufficient retirement funds, broke or too small pension, Dumaguete may not meet your expectations or work for you, unfortunately.
The class of guys who have enough for a semi-comfortable life style and don’t require a heavy dose of night life seem to be content here. Some even “live the dream” with a place on the beach.
You can’t stop progress, Dumaguete will continue to grow and suffer the growing pains. Third World countries can’t afford to build the Infrstructure ahead of the growth.

 

I fail to understand the purpose of the painted cross walks in Dumaguete.

Traffic will not stop or slow down ever for pedestrians.

 

Maybe to give jobless painters a job once in a while to repaint the white stripes when almost faded by traffic.

 

May I

May I suggest you use them, I know of a friend who got hit by a motorcycle while crossing the street, the police were called and put all the blame on the foreigner because he was not using the cross walk that was about 20 meters from the accident scene One more bit of advice when using the cross walk, don,t run walk at a normal pace, the reason is that it makes it easier for them to judge how to weave around you.

 

Same anywhere in the Philippines...worse in fact where there are more jeepneys operating as they just put metal to the floor approaching pedestrian crossings.. .at least in duma the trikes are slower and a raise hand sometimes works

 

Robinson’s mall...the oval drive is a race track.
