A great Christmas Season

December 27, 2017 By Bob Martin 8 Comments

A great Christmas Season

I have been somewhat quiet lately here on LiP, but I have a good reason. Christmas is a big month for me, for various reasons. Firstly, as many of you know, and many of you take advantage of, Feyma and I have on online business where we deliver Gifts to people all over the Philippines. […]

The night before Christmas in Davao

There is a poem that is quite famous, called “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” although these days, it is more commonly known as “The Night before Christmas.”  It was written by Clement Clarke Moore.   Although the original date that it was written is unknown, it was first published in 1823 by the Troy, New York […]

Jay Stainback has been writing a series of articles about living in the Philippines on $200 per month. I remembered that I had written an article a number of years ago (2008) about living on P10,000 per month (at today’s exchange that is roughly equal to $200). I thought I’d re-share it with you.
