I'm still looking for Iranian friends, particularly students or those who work here. Please feel free to drop me a PM. Don't care about politics, but I don't mind if others share their views, especially if we share a hooka, hehe Read More

Yes, I do have a limited number of local friends... The last moment update: The attorney or whoever he is, just delivered my passport to the office; the working visa is in place. The conclusion: if you keep waiting and don't make noise everything is ... Read More

Dear Mal, thank you for the support. I'd rather not start a discussion about the country I was once in love with, it's another story, off-topic. I'm quite legal, I can assure you, even published a couple of articles in local media :) Read More

Hi,I know his has probably been done to death but I'm new here and need to ask. I've been living in Thailand for a while and now want to move to the Philippines. My question is can I lie well on $1800 a month in Cebu? I don't drink I'm a retired ...
