Don't forget that as a foreigner you can only own a condo and 2m is not going to get you much if anything. It's been my understanding that while I can't own the land, I could get a 25 year lease and own the building on the land. Not unless the laws have changed (again).

Partly your own fault for moving in with her family in the first place to be honest. Not sure if you understood in my OP I stated I have Early Onset Dementia, therefore I must rely primarily upon my US family's advice. I used to be independent, adventurous and always helped others. So imagine the humbling experience of having to rely upon others for assistance. No offense, but the blame isn't on me. Yes, I know the old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." applies. However, my situation is the former, not latter of that saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that decision is because I prefer living in a more secluded and serene location. It's also important for me to stay physically active as well. While my father was in the USAF, he was once stationed in Savannah, GA and we were within a bike ride of the beach. I enjoy walking and more especially swimming in the warm ocean. Swimming is one of the best overall exercise, low impact with high muscle movement. Those who have bad knees or ankles can relate to what I'm talking about 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, most people can't even afford a septic system. I live within 2 blocks of a river. I wouldn't go in it even wearing a full hazmat suit. Between the sewage and carabao, it would be safer walking down the streets of Wuhan licking every door knob and hand rail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heeb Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Back in the 90,s I visited my wife's' house in Camarines Norte, it sat above a valley with a stream winding through it, very breathtaking view, we swam in it a few times and it was crystal clear with a nice little waterfall. A decade later when I visited it was totally polluted and the rice fields around it gone, a Chinese company that was building a highway nearby had used it for a dump, very sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our son and 5 friends from the UK just after before Christmas went canyoneering in Kawasan Falls, nearly wrecked their vacation have the sh.ts for 3 days afterwards. Kawasan Falls in Cebu Province, or Kawasan Falls in Bohol Province? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to the point, if you have early onset dementia, I'd be looking at your future SAFETY...in all aspects of your life.

I know easier said than done but perhaps you should be seriously looking into it NOW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
