Why go from your country.

[Kawanor]

And traveling to the Philippines for me is living the life I want. Freedom and without a boss. Self-funded. In a tropical country. Where time stands still. And it's cheap. That's why I'm leaving my country.

Compared to Norway, most places are cheap

It can be cheap, it can also be expensive, depends on where you live and what you eat.

Welcome aboard Kawanor, 

I believe this might motivate you more about moving to PI.  No more freezing your nuts out as you discover drinking a cold one on the beach is much more healthier.....he, he.

Average mental age here is about 15.

Feed up will all the BS.  At least the Philippines are trying to move forward, at least what I have seen.  I can relate to the mental age of 15, It fits me also.

Why go from your country?

I love travelling to many places, and I have spent time in many countries, but to me, "there's no place like home."

My stay in the Philippines taught me many things.

- I don't like being a foreigner.

- I don't like living in a place where time stands still.

- I don't like matching wits with people who are perpetually thinking like 15 years olds.

- I don't like living in a quasi-dictatorship.

- I miss speaking my native tongue and having people understand my sarcasm and jokes.

- I miss eating out at American restaurants, where they bring appetizers out long before the main dish, instead of crowding the table with appetizers and main dishes at the very same time,

- I love having the ability to vote!

- I also prefer to buy things (land, houses, etc.) in my own name, instead of my wife's name.

- As I approach 70, I'm even reluctant to leave my homeland for a holiday/vacation.

With all of that being said, I applaud all of those who have made the Philippines their homes.

I think these days with the amount of people from foreign nations in our home country make us all foreigners. 

From your post above it appears it's time for you to sit on the veranda in your home country and watch the world go by.

Quite, Quite - especially since this planet keeps on going through endless waves of COVID-19 Infections and reinfections during our global pandemic.
