FEB 29,2024 LEAVING CEBU CITY
NEWS FLASH WE ARE LEAVING CEBU CITY AND NOT COMING BACK ANY TIME SOON! I GOT MAIL IN THE USA. HOW DO I GET IT HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES!
Hey Guys
“GOING BACK TO DUMAGUETE”
Janet and I are packing up our things and leaving Cebu City. The lease on the Condo ends on the February 29th. We will be posting a Video on the subject of how Cebu City is not for us. We are not big City people.
Cebu City we have found to be to expensive for us to live. The biggest drawback is places to rent. You can find places around $300 to $400 they are small and bigger places are far from the Cebu Business Park (Ayala Mall). So we can not find a place big enough for the 3 of us. You can get a 2 or 3 bedroom home for $400-$500 in Dumaguete furnished with a yard. So housing for a family is hard to find.
Going out is so much easier in smaller cities and towns around the Philippines short bike rides to the mountains or the beach. In Cebu City it is a day trip to go to the Beach or mountain getaways not easy to do on a weekday.
For the above reasons we have crossed off Cebu City as a place to live but will keep coming for a Vacation for my retirement to get a taste of western foods and modern living

“Getting your Mail”
Let’s talk about getting your mail here in the Philippines.
I do not recommend using the US Postal Service to get your mail here in the Philippines. I have used FedEx, DHL and LBC Express to get mail or packages from family or friends.
I also use “Ipostel1” The Complete Digital Mailbox here is the link to Ipostal1 href="https://ipostal1.com/?ref=3647" target="_blank"
I pay $9.99 a month and have all my mail delivered to my mailbox. they send me an E-Mail when I have new mail and I can look at the letter or package and decide if i want to read it or just discard the mail. If I want to read the content of the letter they will open the letter copy and send me a PDF file so I can read it. Ipostal1 will also Forward and mail you receive check out the website for more info and fees. I’m very happy with the service I receive from them. I will have a new updated video about “Ipostal1” in an up coming video in my members only “Mike’s inner circle” here the video I made last year one of the first videos I made. Sorry about the quality of the old video
