    :eek: Reading and hearing about all the expats in Dumaguete. Where are they all?

    Robinsons Place today we counted 11
    Hyper Mart was 3
    Lee Plaza Food hall we counted about 7
    Immigration ( well expected) about 18
    A brisk walk along the boulevard ( Give or take. 20+ )

    If there so many, as some tell us, where do they all go to or where do they hide?

    Just Asking :cautious:

    JP :whistling:

    Even there you are lucky to count 20. A far cry from the 4,000 or so usually said to reside in Dumaguete. I've often wondered myself where all these expats are hiding out. I guess a bunch of them just stay home (or are intentionally avoiding me :cautious:).

    I am guessing the BoI double counts or triple counts the guys coming and leaving when their visa expires then returning. Also, there are many foreigners with families running beach resorts and also a lot attending Silliman. I bet there are at least 2,000-2,500 here, and growing.
