Hi All, again another topic just for interest's sake, as I guess most of us are retired here in PH, some rent, some own houses etc. What will be nice is to hear what people do every day with their free time.
In my case we are the only house at the entrance of the subdivision, so I personally maintain the surroundings, cut the grass, treat the weed, trim the trees, paint the wall and the gates, I even installed solar lights. for the gate.
Additional I love reading we have about 300 unread books in the house, I love sketching and try to do painting, I learning to play the electronic piano.
Then of course spent as much time as possible with my 2,5-year-old daughter, outside and inside, her to ride a bicycle, taking het to horse riding I know she is still small, but she loves being on a horse. We also try to keep a balance between TV and playing old fashioned games, or let her paint, play with water etc.
I am an old Harley biker, but here trying to keep low profiler just have an ordinary 150 cc bike, I take my daughter on some rides into the country, she loves it. We go as a family on the bike to the market etc.
Pretty much my life, we have no real fancy pub or night club to go to, there are some but difficult with the little one.
I have read so many cases where an expat comes here to retire, spent his life in a pub and spent on girls frequently, after a short period he is either dead or struggling because of the lifestyle. The key is to be content with the choice we made, and I am sure what we thought before how it is living here being here on some visits to be here permanently is quite different.
I still struggle with the tricycles on the road, not giving way, the way some people drive, so reckless and dangerous, the litter and garbage.
and sure tennis and table tennis. (I STARTED playing these at club level when I were close to 40. Didnt have time earlier, when I compeeted in e g football, handball, sailing, tracking field, canoe...)
