Big Philippine adventure coming up in a few months.
I've been shipping stuff over there in advance to the point that everyone at the post office knows me and where my big packages are going.
The plan is to have so many interesting things avaible to do or to go see that boredom wont set in after a few months of just drinking cheap booze and singing Margaritaville on kerioke.
We have rented an apartment in Makati since we cannot agree on what lot we want and how much we should pay. I don't really care about the costs of the lots as most seem like a good deal. However, with the low cost of renting vs owning, it does indeed make more sense to rent at least for a while.
The apartments are small and all concrete but there are so many American "enhancements" that it will surely be comfortable if not roomy.
The electric was just connected over the weekend. There are boxes of stuff all over inside just waiting to be installed/unboxed and set up.
Has anyone used the Rosetta stone program to their satisfaction? The online version impressed me but I didnt have time to complete all the lessons. I'm hoping with the RS plus the emersion in Tagalog speaking peoples that I'll be functional with it several months into the big adventure.
It's just 2 months away now and I'm allowing myself to get excited. It's still too far away though so I should just relax.
