    Do people there p*ss all over the roadsides? I don't see any trash burning all over the hillsides and beaches. Looks like nicely paved roads that's easy to travel and not choked up with diesel blowing dilapidated vehicles...

    nobody standing out in the roads blowing whistles and creating chaos and useless noise??? and you also have normal roofing. It's not pieces of rusted scrap tin with old junk tires thrown on top.

    And you're gonna come live the dream in Negros ah???? oh my!

    A photographic reply to the replies

    LOL

    It may be a very scenic area, but asawa is not keen on the weather. She hates the dry heat in summer, and absolutely loathes the cold of the winter.
    We live on the south coast, there is nothing but water between us and Antarctica,.. a south wind = brrrrrrr talaga!

    Pren arrived in Australia in mid Spring (her favourite season here).

    In the autumn, she statrted complaing when the minimum temperatures got down to 10ºC, i laughed and said:
    "Darling, in 3 months from now, 10ºC will be the Maximum temperature!"

    Of course she burst into tears :(

    My solution to this dilemma was to take her skiing in the Victorian snow fields in the middle of winter to show her the true meaning of cold.

    When we came back, the cold here,....... was not so bad :smile:

    But we do desperately want to live in Negros. With the money from renting our house/s we can live in Negros like royalty.
    In Aust, we are mere peasants, on comparitivley low incomes.
    We grow a lot of our own veggies to save $ It has been a blessing that i married a farmer's daughter (tanx God)

    Cont...........................

    Definately :D

    That will be are large portion of our income when we move to Negros.

    Our house is very modest by Australian standards, i call it the "Shoe Box"!

    When I met my asawa, she was living in a house 1/2 this size with at least 8 others, so by Pinoy standards, its a small mansion.

    You can rent this place for, lets say, 30,000php/month.

    Average rental houses in South Australia cost about 50,000-60,000php/month. (this is a cheap state)

    I'm sure your only joshing, but there is a pic of the house later IN this post

    Only on country roads when nobody is lookin :smile:



    Yes, the roads a generally pretty good and the traffic is ok.
    Asawa's 1st impressions were comments on the cleaness and the ease of travelling.
    Our capital, Adelaide, is one of the easiest cities in the world to get around :smile:

    P.S. asawa was furious with me for throwing those tyres on the roof for that pic!
    Maybe she was afraid they would crash through the rust
    :eek:
