There are a million websites out there that will try and tell you that every waking minute in (insert name of exotic locale) is packed with exciting new adventures and deep and meaningful cultural expositions. We all know that isn’t the case. Not all the time. Even the most exciting place on Earth can become ho-hum if you are there long enough.

The Philippines is, or at least it can be, one of those exciting places. Especially if you are not a Filipino. Just as they would find living in Deadstop, Arizona exciting, you can be fascinated with life in San Nowhere, Cebu. For a while.

This web site is here to take up the slack, to show that everyday life might not be constantly exciting but it can still be interesting. If you are contemplating relocating to the Philippines for whatever reason, work, retirement, new life… this site will give you a chance to tune in to everyday life.

What does it cost to get cable TV? How do you register your motor vehicles? Why does it take so long to get served at the department store? These and a multitude of other, mundane but equally important to everyday life questions will be addressed and answered here.

This isn’t a site about go-go dancers, kidnapped tourists or anything you might read about in the tabloids. It is all about the realities of normal, everyday living in a less than ordinary locale. Whether it’s getting your hair cut or finding a store that sells decent bread, if it is in the Philippines then you can discuss it here.
