Fantastic Forum the Original Art Bell's Midnight in the Desert and Coast to Coast AM Forum

Shirl - everything's ok at my end with the Forum - maybe satellite problems in the States??

Bean - agree with your comment 150 percent!!!

Thanks Shirl. Can also listen to the program on Monday, Manila am - the repeat. Think that program will be quite interesting and funny as well!!

Hope so!!

Yes, I saw you put up the schedule - thank you for doing that - always check with you to see what's going on. Hope everything goes as planned for the weekend - in any case I am hoping so. On Sat I can't listen to the program until maybe 1 or 2 Eastern Time because i'm at Manila Bay on the weekends -...

Hi Shirl - will be here for a while - am working at my pc today and it's almot 11 am here in Manila - sorry I missed you always like reading your posts. Do you work everyday? Won't be listening to George today - program is of no interest to me. Maybe will listen in to open lines tomorrow and of cour...

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well. Missed you last nite Shirley - came onto the forum a bit later than usual - had so much running around to do yesterday.

Also the same here too. If a foreigner wants to own property it has to be in the name of a Filipino - also a business - you must have a Filipino partner who owns 51 percent of the business. Not very encouraging if the country wants foreign investors. It's been like this since the 18th century when t...

Think I will contact some of the expat groups there to find out about living there and buying property. Here in Manila, you cannot buy land - only a condo if you are a foreigner. The government is trying to position the Philippines as a great place for foreigners to retire to - that is, if you don't...

Janus, I've been living in Asia for 26 years. Have been to Thailand more than 20 times over the years and was helping support Thai children for many years. I know the place very well but never thought of it as a place to settle down in. Wonder what it is like for expats who actually make it their ho...

Thanks for the link - will check it out.

Is it nice living in Thailand? Are you a foreigner living there? Wonder about that and whether it's a good place to settle down in.

No didn't see that program. Was it on Discovery or National Geographic?? One of the reasons I love living in the tropics is the ambiance and the sea - hang out by Manila Bay everyweek and have my own little place by the shore and under the palm trees just 10 minutes from my house.

Guest said, "if you want to see an Alien, look in the mirror." Love that. I am an alien living in Manila!!

That's funny ie "Let's Sea." You are a big higher in elevation than we are - I think we're about 3 feet above sealevel. One big wave would wipe us out and with global warming - well, we'd better get the scuba gear out!! Read in the UK Financial Times yesterday that an island housing estate...

Hey Janus - good to see you here. Looks very quiet tonight at the Forum!! Guess you and I are the only ones awake at the helm!! Anyway, will be listening in to the program and hope the guest has a good speaking voice and doesn't put me to sleep!!

How's the weather in Thailand??
