I saw it as comments from a different point of view. Always welcome, especially since I wrote my rant when I was in a less than sunny mood. I presented some things as black and white when there are shades of gray. It all is true, just some of it needs to be dialed back from 10 down to 8.
I rarely rant in my blog. It's all about an expat looking for a place to live with a little tourism on the side. Four Letter Nerd

I like to think it's because of nerve, self confidence and that I have an open mind. But it might be because of a certain degree of optimistic cluelessness. I've been an adventure junkie all my life. Now that the body can't handle physical adventure I'm getting my fix by trying to fit into a third word country. A different type of adventure, for sure, but adventure nonetheless.

There are two yahoo groups about life in the Phils. This one is moderated to remove almost all negative views of the country:
LivingInThePhilippines3 : LivingInThePhilippines3
This one is unmoderated so it is filled with personal attacks, long off topic rambles, thread jacking, etc. It's also the best source I've found about what life is like here.
