Yes, I know, it’s been some time since I have put up a new Podcast! But, today I have a new one to share with you, and my guest today is John Grant. John is a columnist here on the LiP Web Magazine, and I kind of played a little trick on him to get him over to my office today to participate in the Podcast! Just listen in and you’ll see what I am talking about!
Today’s topic is about being an expat in the Philippines, and having other friends who are foreigners. I hope you enjoy the show!

Just like to ask how many groups in Davao and how often would they meet up. Do they have regular meetings or just special get together's? Like to join one when i get back there. Not sure which one would be right for me yet 😎
Hi graham – There are two or three such groups in Davao that I am aware of. They generally meet once or twice per month, regular meetings. Go to both, and choose one… or join both! 😀
bob u are 😀 — genius with the fish & chips…my husband is listening and he laughed at how you convinced or say how u ended up talking to john here… good job on that ….

Hi Marygrace – Yep, I got him! I think he didn't mind too much, though! 😆

Hi Henry – It's always nice to hear when people are able to pick up a tip or two from the site! Thanks for letting me know! 😀
Excellent podcast, and well done to John Grant, keeping the BRITISH end up, lets have some more pod casts Bob, its been a long time since I checked in, work work work, life in that fast moving metropolitan culture that John Grant has left behind is very much alive and kicking.
Congratulations on the podcasts.
Hello Pete Bennett — thanks for the comment. It's been a long time, Pete. I'll try to do a new podcast soon.
