has a very nice tropical climate (as I prefer). The sun doesn't bother me as all 4 of my grandparents hailed originally from Soutern Italy, so my skin can take it. The cost of living is about one fifth of Boston's. I live like a king on $3,500 USD a month, even though I earn more than that.

My wife's family has deep roots in our city and owns 25 acres. 85% of Filipinos speak English as a second language.

This is the place for me.
