A few years ago I started seeing advertisements on TV for tourism in the Philippines. From the comfort and safety of my Thailand home, I found them to be very clever and it really did make me want to come here- for vacation.
The ads feature a photo, a little play on words, and the slogan, "More Fun in the Philippines." I think I read that there was a contest for the best entries and they have lots of cute stuff posted all over the airports. Here are a couple.
Who wouldn't want to come here?! Well, we've been here a little over 3 months now and while I believe there to be many beautiful vacation spots in this country, I'm not a huge fan of living here.
It occurred to me that "fun" isn't really the word I'd choose. I have yet to find something here that is more fun than anywhere else I've been. And I've been trying REALLY hard to think of something.
So, when the trials of this location get to be a little much, I've decided to write about it and mix in a little sarcasm with my occasional, "More Fun in the Philippines" blog entries.
Today's entry would have to be "Neighborhood Welcome- More Fun in the Philippines," as we've just found out that it was our neighbors across the street who smashed all the windows with landscape rock (prior to our occupation of the house).

The security guard at the gate forgot about the cover-up and told Tess the truth the other day. I'm guessing the owners didn't want us to know the truth as it's a bit unsettling. They were upset that the owner never went to them with the investment opportunity and so they smashed windows. I'm guessing we won't be invited to any karaoke parties! Dang.
