    I have been in the area about 9 years. I have many acquaintances but only a few what I would call close friends. Being I am married and have a child, I am not into the bar-girl chasing scene.
    Having said this, I am as happy and contented as I have ever been. All I need would be an U.S. Rib Eye steak.
    Anyone happy and contented here?

    I think most people carry happiness within them ..... I guess you are the type of person who would be happy in most places. Some people could be in Paradise and would find something to complain about. I put the 'bad' here on one side of the 'scales' and the 'good' on the other side and GOOD is a sure-fire winner to date.

    Pat...I think a good number of folks are quite content in the life's they have for themselves in the Philippines. The limited number of folks I spend time with are very happy with their current situation and are not looking for that piece of tail...other than what they have at home.

    Let's see if I can get you some US Rib Eye steaks from the Commissary in Korea into the Philippines on my next trip (September) back without getting confiscated.

    Thanks Shawn, I would gladly pay double and have you guys over for a barbecue and refreshments of your choice and share the steaks.

    Hello Shawn, if you bring the steaks into the Philippines, you are saying there is a chance they may be confiscated?
