[QUOTE=Sammon;2513645]Is it still no visitors allowed in hotels or private residences?[/QUOTE]I live in a condo near the main Ayala Mall and visitors are now allowed back into the condo building and have been for a few months, they need to fill out an online 'Health Declaration Form' before entering the building which takes all of about a minute to do and can be done from my mobile phone just before they enter the building. They are then required to sign a 'visitors book' when they enter the building lobby.
Sometimes I bring girls back to my condo and sometimes I bring them to a S / T hotel, it depends on the girl (s). If they dress respectably then I will bring them back to my condo, otherwise I will take them to a S / T hotel. The management in my condo building are a bit snobby, there is no dress requirement for residents and we are allowed to wear shorts but they will not allow tradesmen into the building if they are wearing shorts!

[QUOTE=XxxJk18;2513931]Super cool and brave of you! Most of them are scared to do raw / unprotected. You are just rocking it.[/QUOTE]Actually from personal experience in Cebu City over the last 18 months I was only ever turned down once by a girl when I tried to bang her bareback. She insisted on me using a condom but I declined, got dressed and left.

Any tips
Do you usually check with the girls when they last tested or anything you look for before deciding to go raw?

Asking a Pinay and you will get any answer you wish to know.

[QUOTE=Mdemde;2513541]The nearest I ever got to Columbia was about 20 years ago when I went to Cuba and the Dominican Republic and spent about a week in each country, I was hoping to try out some of the local girls and did so in the Dominican Republic but had no luck in Cuba. I never had a chance to go back to either country. If I ever get a chance I would like to go to Columbia and sample some of the local girls. How do you find Columbian girls compare with Filipina girls?[/QUOTE]Admittedly a small sample as I was only there for 10 days but I found the Colombianas quite amorous, much more beautiful overall and obviously much bigger tits than Filipinas. Had to google translate a lot, though.

Quick question, to live like you do (my dream) where you do, how much would you say one needs per month? I've been thinking about an early retirement. I think I need to wait about 1 or 2 more years to reach about $3500 per month residual income (before SS, pension, and 401 k).

In Manila an apartment in an SM type building, one bedroom high rise with pool etc will run you 20 to 25, furnished with another 5 for utilities, TV Internet, water and electric. In a province you can get a two bedroom house by the sea for that.
If you cook a few meals 1000 per day is more than enough for food.
So to live and eat will be between 50 k and 60 k.
On top of that add in your mongering costs, any travel etc.
Anything over $US2,000 a month is more than enough.
As time goes on you can drop those costs significantly as you become accustomed to living a more Philippine life style. You can but food from street vendors and local markets and get your food cost to 100 or so a day. Provinces are much cheaper than the cities but girls are more work to get.
During the lockdown with just staying home all the time, I was paying 20 k rent and spending about another 10 k on food a month.
Now I am spending 25 k on rent (2 bedroom on the water) about 15 k on food including restaurants, 20 k on scuba diving and getting girls for 1000 for overnights.
Of course if you want to live higher, you can spend a lot more than that in a month but 100 k can be a nice life.

I did a budget for living in Banifacio Global City in Manila for about $3500 a month. Rent was about $1000 a month. You can have a live-in cook-housekeeper for about $100 a month.

Amazing information! Thanks for the details. With the pandemic affecting travel for 2020 and probably most of 2021, I've been able to save up a lot. I think $3500 will be my comfortable spot for retiring and traveling. I still need to travel to South America (Brazil / Columbia), live in Vietnam and Thailand for a short time, too.
I'm looking forward to the end of 2021 and starting to really live the life that I want!

Between 2000 to 3000, depending on your comfort level (space, location, car etc.) will do.
I did my calculation 1995:1500. -$ at that time gave a you a comfortable life. If at that time I would have calculated my needed cash, invested with an assumed of 5% annual growth by shares or funds, for a lifespan of say 30 years, an amount of about 500.000 $ would be enough.
That was 25 years ago.
If I would have done the step then -- I would be bankrupt now!
Inflation, extreme rising costs in developing countries, 1 expensive operation. Would have reduced my savings to zero.

Does SM mean Super Mall? How about insurance?
Man, I'm sooooo excited about retiring at the end of this year!

[QUOTE=SinfullyKorean;2518204]Man, I'm sooooo excited about retiring at the end of this year![/QUOTE]I'll play the Devils Advocate and suggest you temper your excitement a little.
Living in Asia is TOTALLY different to a few weeks / months visits. You will be surprised at what changes from a highlight to a source of frustration. For this reason alone don't make any major commitments for at least the first 18/24 months. No long term leases, no buying cars, no "she's different, lets settle down".
New guys have Fresh Meat stamped on their forehead and the general population and girls instantly recognize this and add the appropriate taxes.
Spend some time to move around and see where best suits you. This is even applicable to within major cities. Not everywhere in Manila / Cebu etc is the same.
Always have an exit plan should the SHTF. Hopefully you don't need it but you don't want to be scrambling at the last moment during an emergency.
Most importantly go and enjoy!
Good luck. G.

I only signed two 6 month leases for my first 3 years, tried to have month to month most of the time. It was more than 2 years into it before I bought a car. I just signed my first year lease here. If not for the pandemic I would still be traveling around looking for a place to settle. I am in a place that is high on my list of finalists and so have decided to wait out the pandemic here rather than risking moving somewhere where it just may be a lot worse than here. It may be better but here is very acceptable so I will not take the risk.
I have absolutely nothing here that I am not prepared to just walk away from should the need arise. MI will never incest more in any business or scheme here that I am not prepared to lose.

Thanks for the tips. I'm actually going to travel a few places before I settle. Probably 2-3 month vacations in Brazil, Columbia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. I've already taken a few trips to Thailand and Vietnam, so I'm familiar with the monger scenes over there. I'm sure I'll need to get used to things in the Philippines, too.
I don't plan to commit to anything until my short term trips are done and I've explored all these places first so I can compare. When I do visit the Asian countries, I plan on staying a month at a time in different cities (e. G. Angeles City, Manila, Cebu, Pattaya, Phuket, BKK, Hanoi, HCMC).
I'm just super excited to be able to stop working and start living without any commitments.

A place to stay is the biggest monthly cost, what would you recommend to get a nice place at a reasonable price but still pay month to month? Airbnb might be an option in some cases but there are limited low budget deals on that site since your paying both the owner of the property and airbnb their cut. Buying a motorbike would be the cheaper than renting in the long run but harder to sell if you decide to move to another country.
