Do you have ambition to live or retire abroad?

Point taken, and duly noted.. you are probably right, i probably havent eaten great Filipino food… BUT i would counter that even if i hadnt been in Cebu City, and if i had tried awesome Filipino food- i would not want to eat it every day, certainly not two or three meals per day.. just like in Thailand , i dont eat Thai food every day.. and that’s the difference; here in Thailand, anywhere i go i can find a great variety- Mexican , Italian, burgers, healthy, unhealthy, whatever whatever.. in the Philippines, every burger i had tasted like arse, every type of food imaginable that I tried was terrible- which is why i may have mentioend that I wound up eating every meal from a TGI Fridays and an S&R (Costco) pizza counter .

The big thing in the Philippines now is the Korean BBQ places. They are everywhere in the Angeles City area. When we were in the Philippines for January 2024, we are at 3-4 different ones. All you can eat Korea BBQ for less that $10 is awesome.
