ok good
I saw this on craigslist, a 3 bedroom rental, 14th floor with nice views for PHP20000 (Is that pesos? I dont even know)
http://manila.craigslist.org/apa/163102335.html

So then $400 American dollars can pay for a large 3 bedroom apartment a month right?

Jesus, I need to move to the philippines. I pay $500/mo for a bedroom in my sister's house LOL.

I talked to a guy from there. He worked at a bank and made $5k a year. He was all excited to come to the US and make $30k. The bank provided uniforms, health insurance and had 3 of those extra months. So it was a good job and he said he was not living big.

over here for $500.00 a month you can rent ok townhouse in a complex with swimming pool etc, but for my ADSL I pay like 100 times more than anybody else in the World

what most of the people think is that you'll get the same quiality of life in a 3rd World country for 10 times less money than in the States, well, there's a good reason why they're called 3rd World countries on a first place ;)

Doctor Dre · 07-06-2006, 11:13 AM

Everything is definitly cheaper out there but ... it's a 3rd world country. It depends what kind of life you wanna live I guess.

pr0 · 07-06-2006, 11:24 AM

i know several people living very happily there

PHP5k can pay for a house rent, but still depends if he's renting a condo minimum rent "condo" for now is PHP10K.

LittleSassy · 07-06-2006, 01:15 PM

everything's cheaper in the Philippines, a lot of tourists prefer to live here and do business cause you get enough work done in a few $$.

Axzar · 07-06-2006, 01:32 PM

haha, fuck, hopefully he doesn't come to the US for the 30k. If you make 30k pre tax in this country you do not have health insurance.

that does sound like a fuckload of money

latinasojourn · 07-06-2006, 03:59 PM

depends on where you are in the philippines.

in the provinces 100usd (5k+ php) will rent a small house or nice apartment in cities like dumaguete or some parts of cebu.

but if you want air cond or cable internet then triple that.

gecko · 07-06-2006, 04:22 PM

You can live like a king in the phullppines for fraction of the cost loving decent here
