Absolutely Andrew Is Correct Asia and Vietnam are so More Relaxing then the West and so much more Friendlier so I Decided to Retire to Vietnam with my Vietnamese Wife

Paul is just a easy going good dude. He deserves to be happy. Glad he is enjoying the 4th quarter of his life ❤

​@brettweary8491 I agree, in general, it's a more peaceful culture , people are happier...yes it has its problems, but its just different in so many ways (in a good way) than the west. ❤ Happy for you, enjoy ❤

I hope you become more prosperous and enjoyed your life here without getting embarrassment.

Love your love testimony to my beloved country.

Lucky man indeed congratulations..America is not great either yes were industrialized country but we had similarities on 3rd world country. America is not perfect. I came from a Filipino farmer with nothing ,i remember when I was young age my parents couldn't afford us to send in middle school because of poverty. I use to sell foods in cockpit arena, in supermarket I cry at young age i don't know why I'm in this situation while my classmates were in school. I cry alot try to hide to my parents my tears.at young age youd just accept it you can't ask for help to anyone else seems like I'm just a stray dog on the street. Despite all odds I promise myself I will change my future i am incharge of my life. I work hard I study I burn my eyebrows studying with just a candle lit in front of me..I changed my life when got a job overseas, ill become the best of the best in a company.,I went to America to pursue my career and my dream. Now having my own business I consider myself very successful. In years to come I will be coming home with all my knowledge strength and funds to return a favor to Philippines 🇵🇭

It's better to love and lost than never to have loved.

Feeling the same 😢😢😢.

Who cares if you married white as long as you are happy! Asians are experiencing some of the effects that minorities in the United States have been thru and still going thru...

Are you still in America? Would you move back home?

I think I should have made my move like this 10 years ago. Now my health would be too dicey there. 6 stents. Nice to live thru you guys though.

Thank you for watching John and for taking the time to comment 😀

Negros Occidental is a nice place with beaches along the coastal towns.

Paul your my hero

I must admit when living in the Philippines one certain occasions I have looked over my shoulder in fear. I never noticed this till I came back to Europe from the Philippines you are a walking gold mine and it becomes second nature to watch out.

@@lsmith6378 I rely mostly on my wife who is Filipina. I don't speak the language and although English is widely spoken in this country, I find it easier for my wife to venture out and deal with the local culture. I doubt that I would have remained in this place had it not been for the fact that I am married to a local woman, the culture in the Philippines is the exact opposite to my culture in Canada.

very true so many of the things that happened to him are carbon copy of my life, although like him i came through it, but well know what he went through, i am married as well but my wife moved to the uk, very early on i knew i would have struggled there in cebu. but we are fine here.

Many Filipinos dream of living America and canada,

well put, together it was a reboot, im guessing

Manila has the best nightlife. I remember going to J. Nakpil St. in Malate, Manila and the streets are closed to traffic and turned into al frescò dining and bar with the best bands you'll ever hear anywhere in the world. Ahh, how I miss it.

I'm smiling while reading your comment..I miss that too..😁😁

I agree with you ,so much has changed and I don't like it.seem like we have so much cry babies now this days.

So true!

Sir, no country is perfect - it's what you make of it - I am a foreigner retired, living permanently in Philippines, now 10 years - married 25 years to a loving, caring Filipina - I love the place - don't want to be anywhere else - #1 here, the culture

R NCR Sir, us, Filipinos are hospitable. Thanks and Godbless! 📖

Nobody’s perfect.

Did you make the jump yet Thomas?

Ain't that the truth. Since my Filipina wife passed away earlier this year and watching the social construct in America disintegrate I've had to start asking the serious questions about whether I'm better served retreating to my house in the Philippines and living out my life there. Lots of pros but lots of cons, so it's hard to know right now what the right decision is. Paul strikes me as a guy who is comfortable enough in his own skin to know what he wants out of his remaining years on this planet and has been lucky enough to find a little piece of Paradise after decades of "doing the right thing" and getting punished for it. I envy him to some degree, however in this moment I can't do what Paul is doing. PI is shut the fuck down; I couldn't get to my house there if I wanted to for the foreseeable future. There's also the issue of health care. I've got plenty of money to sustain a good life there, but their health care infrastructure is so poor in the area we live in there that if I did get seriously ill it's pretty much over for me at that point. The other con is that all of my kids and grandkids live here in WA and if I moved to the PI there's no telling when or if I'd ever get to see them again, and I love them too much to abandon that. I'd really appreciate friends like Paul if I lived over there, and Filipinos in general are some of the nicest, most happy-go-lucky people in the world considering the poverty most of them are forced to live in due to economics, politics, and the relentless onslaught of typhoons each year. I still love my in-laws though my wife is no longer with us, and the social atmosphere there is very appealing -- while there is little left of America I find compelling enough to live out my life here. I don't want to live in a society or community where the only thing we have in common is we're all pissed off at everything and everybody and it's "me first and fuck the rest of ya." Life is too damned short for this garbage. We'll see how it pans out but I can only hope to find friends there who are as decent as Paul and as down-to-earth as my in-laws (if I can ever enter the country again), and then maybe I'll see if I'd be willing to make such a sea-change in my life.

I want to go there.

If you are from US or wherever it is, it is a nice idea to spend your entire life in here because there can never be a pressure to feel. We exercise freedom better than any other country.

@@batangmaynilamaharlika3012 been there done that ready to do more😂

stop watching cnn 😂

@@LuvMyLilBabe she didn't even mention cnn 🤦‍♀️ I'm guessing your a fox and friends kind of person witch says alot about who or what kind of person you are.

Very kind of you to say Allen. Paul has done so much for me since I came here. The only reason I have a channel is becuse Paul showed me how to create one. He's still my KZfaq mentor.

i love your stories, thank you for choosing my country as your retirement place.. godbless!

I am a Filipina independent I can't rely on man all my life I need to survive it doesn't make me feminists.

@@lizagalvez3019 Well said lady. Hope life is treating you well, best wishes from 🇬🇧

Hope you can sir, even just to visit and enjoy the country

God bless you sir

Thing is He wasted alot of time and Life 🧬...Best of life to you in your most likely 6 decade of life . Jesus is Life

There are givers and some are just takers... It's a sad truth.

if you move here, just be ready for the noisy crows in the morning. Most expats hate it but most filipino houses have chickens. They use it as their natural alarm clock and they use chickens as food, especially during special occasions.

@@MakaiIELTS yes , hahahahahaha I don't mind it to be fair. Don't forget the sweeping of the twiggy brooms also. I had the privilege of touring Luzon with 2 filipina sisters. They took me to a cock fighting farm in ilocos, then after we went To a chicken pen, where they got me to pick a chicken that we could Eat that very night. And it was the best tasting chicken I ever ate. Yummy fresh chicken adobo 🍴🍗🐔

Surely PH and Filipinos are not perfect, we will never be, but if you are in pursuit of simplicity, minimalist, nature loving, sincere, warm but fun kind everyday living and relationship, then your choice is right!

I live in Japan for 18 yrs now life here is toxic too in Japan because people are like robots no emotions and they are so sad people, planning to go back to Philippines.

@@madeinjapan3333 great move , I have never been to Japan, but I know you can't go far wrong with Philippines. I wish you all the best. 👍👍👍

Hioohhhhhhh

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀

@@everymanhasastory Much lower cost of living than US (though not as low as Philippines), favorable tax climate and as someone who loves traveling and not a fan of flying, it's centrally located between Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia.. I can pretty much take the Trans-Siberian rails to Beijing, China from Moscow and another train south to South East Asia... I had plans to visit SE Asia but with so many different travel restrictions from country to country, Multi destination trip may have to wait for another year.. Cheers to you and wish you many healthy and happy days ahead.

@@pearlperlitavenegas2023 yes 🤗

Your faith keeps you going inspite of tough battles because you know that GOD is fighting before you, you can lose everything but never ever tried losing your faith. Godbless!

AY TRUE, IT STILL HAPPENS!

"Marry someone like your mother" TRUE!

@@everymanhasastory - Dumagate is definitely on my radar Mark Thank you. I would love to shake the hands of both you and Paul.

Maybe it's time to hit the reset button brother. Start life over fresh and clean.

Nice... right! Go to the PI

@@garrylafferty100 Not all retirees living abroad are on social security. Part of your statement is incorrect. Thanks to the AMERICAN CITIZENS who worked hard many years and PAID!! INTO THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM. All of us that DID are ENTITLED to OUR MONEY!!! Do not be an ignorant fool and think that the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT is giving money away for free. God bless all hard working Americans that deserve what they paid into. GOOD DAY SIR!!!!

Welcome to The Philippines sir God bless you

@@HemiChrysler your absolutely right, thank you! I swipe text and then it does predictive text, so I'm always editing! Lol 😁

@@everymanhasastory Seriously, lol, I didn't think it mattered so much but I'll never shy away from constructive criticism. 😊👍

@@HemiChrysler Like I said, I love it! Some of my pet peaves are when people do not PRONOUNCE English words properly. But we are all human, and error, but LOVE covers a multitude of sins. And is hard to get the constant loop of our parents out of our head. 😂

I'm a Christian too but that doesn't mean there's a God.

Sir Frances, why afraid if he's a Christian? Philippines is a Christian country.. Being a Christian reflects that GOD resides in you. Godbless!

@@dukadarodear2176 you called yourself Christian but you don't believe there is GOD? so sad... 📖

@@dukadarodear2176 WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, BEING A CHRISTIAN, AND" DOESN'T MEAN THERE' A GOD"? WHERE'S YOUR SENSE MAN?

I so love this comment.❤

U got that right.....nailed it...

I understand completely what you are saying my friend. And the politics, AND corona to top it off, has become imbareable. Im now in asia, with very little, but at peace.

I hear you. Leaving a comfortable life in Colorado for a simple life in Mindanao.

I'm Filipino /American born and raise in Philippines, immigrate in my adopted country America, things change, its getting bad here the country i love hopefully its get better, 🇺🇸 America is not great but we you and I evolve some are the same and some are in opposite direction As a human we messed up ,we learned, thats what makes us unique.

@@tatianaschoenfield9819, thank you. I think this is a good advice also because I am originally from that area as well (Romania).

@@tatianaschoenfield9819, indeed. Now I am living in Valencia, Spain and although I enjoy my life here, I am still missing the "human touch" of my former communist country, Romania. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems for me that the Western society is too individualist and even egoistic and they lost the beauty of life, friendship, compassion, etc.

happy to hear your conversation.

Because is the culture,there is no close family ties,in the US,When the children's grow up, mostly of the children's have there own life and forgot there parents,that give so many sacrifices for them. Some children's are selfish......
