    Pfotoguy....enjoyed your collection of photographs posted on the Photo board
    However I realise now after reading your comments, why every so often among the beautiful scenery a shot of breasts or a bottom (bum) suddenly appear.
    Hope you don't think life will be same in Dumaguette as it seems in Thailand
    3 in a bed ?

    Thanks Jack, most people that fail any place in the world is their own choice.

    I will add, there is no place in the world that is perfect, I see the good and the bad. But there is more good here than bad here.

    Anyone that has been here for over 12 years with a different outlook? I would like to know.

    Thanks Ron

    :wink: What can I say but I agree! I am Working in Cadiz, Spain until October when I get back I think it is about time I brought the Family to meet some of you.
    Apart from Walking the Dog we are not Boulevard Crawlers and I hear good reports of meetings in somewhat better places. I will not condemn it But Spain has a lot to answer for and I see daily, some pretty bad things, There are also some good things but I can say with hand on Heart, I will be glad to get HOME! :(

    What I miss most about the US is the delicious Mexican food you can find there.
