My wife wants to do it, I hated rainy season. Can live very good on 85,000 pesos a month. I'm watching the new president and how it works out. The dead body count is raising quickly. My Pillippine drivers license is good until 2020.

What about all the fun plowing/shoveling snow, if that change your mind you drop your tractor off at my place and I'll keep the rust of it for you, free of charge.

The wife is looking at houses and all the lots seem small.. 2000 sq. meters doesn't seem like much..

I suppose if I was an invalid, I could make do with a 1/2 ac. I just can't see me living like that now. I have too many tools and machines that I'm not willing to give up just yet although I'm not married either. :) After moving to the country from housing where you could reach out and practically touch the next house, I've grown accustomed to the free space and quiet. Not to mention being able to do anything I want on the property (no restrictions/ordinances). I'd go crazy with nothing to do or work on.

I admire your dedication to the marriage and hope that perhaps there's a meeting point. Any chance of buying a farm over there? :)
