Hello @Macksy

Look who's talking, Mark… You're an expat too, aren't ya?

I am a citizen of the world LOL

I never meant to desert OZ, i came to the USA on a 1 year work contract...... in 1989

Welcome, Macksy!! It is a wonderful journey. Let's just say, I hope my bosses weren't checking my internet usage when I found this diary. I spent quite a few days at work reading and not working.

Nice BA's, Oz... and hope you have better luck this round... sorry about Dodong not working out... sounded like he had promise for a while...

Seems like many of them show promise early on, then get complacent, like they forget what a good gig it is. At least from this distance.

The place is looking really nice Oz. You guys have done so much work.

Hope the new crew works out,

When's your next trip? Over the holidays?

I hope at least 2 of them will be the staywithit kind.
I see it don't take long for your birds to wear out the grass.
Good Luck with the new crew!

Short-sightedness is the plague of the Philippines. It will take generations to overcome.
