Have you ever dreamed of packing up your bags and leaving for another country for good? A lot of people from western countries – Europe and America – seem to favor this idea. They tend to pick an Asian country and spend the rest of their lives there.

Jan, a Dutchman, is one of them. He has decided to settle down in the Philippines and share his experiences with the rest of the world through his blog, Expat in the Philippines. You can read about the wonderful culture of this country as seen from a foreigner’s point of view. You can also read about various events and tips that an expat would find very useful. The texts are relatively short and there are a few photos here and there – I would suggest more pics, perhaps. Overall, though, it is a good read, especially for those who are interested in the country.
