Filipino-style business sense

I've lost count of the sighs. Deeeeeeeep exhales, too.

1-bedroom = 100k, 2-bedroom in the same building = 200k (BGC, by the way), and both are just mediocre places

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚ Either I've lost my mind, or there's something besides pollution in the air here.

From what I understand, what the Philippines can really offer (to those interested) over America and high-cost European countries is a wider range of options at the cheap end of rentals. There are cheaper places to live in the US too, but nobody wants to live in poor white rural towns or the impoverished ghetto parts of cities.

But hey, whatever, let's get a condo surrounded by slums. It's only $200 a month and we get to eat out every day๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Correction: you're surrounded by slums, and what you're eating is deep-fried garbage with no vegetables for at least 7 miles in any direction.

It's like a mini North Korea, except with the nicest people in the world.

BGC rate check

Rent is usually priced by square meter, not by bedroom. BGC is around 1,000โ€“1,200 per sqm. Maybe you came across an outlier

Is rural safer?

I'd rather live in the countryside where it's safe.

If you've got a problem with white people, feel free to live in a poor black rural area, pal. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ I agree with everything except the racist bit you couldn't help adding.
