Thank you for the information on the Philippines but from what I have been reading around the internet Manila seems like hell on earth.

I'm currently looking at some of the other islands for a less smoggy and much cheaper place to live.

The main casino has games up to 10/20 i believe.

this is texas holdem right? Because all these casinos say on their homepage that they are offering stud poker.

I think that is a table game played against the house.

My question about live poker is what languages they permit at the table.

A couple of interesting links I came across regarding the Philippines: www.livingincebu.com and www.livinginthephillipines.com

Thank you,

i'm curious about the cost of rent and what kind of place you get for your money. can you give me an idea of what to expect starting w/a decent place and moving up to a nice place. i wouldn't need, but a 1 bedroom and even a studio apartment would be fine i think...thanks

Depends where you want to live. Manila is retarded expensive. Anywhere else from what I have seen is very cheap.

Check out the Living in Cebu website for some good threads on cost of living.

There are a few rental websites around the internet but they are full of owners trying to gouge naive westerners with inflated prices.

I'm moving out there in about a year- or a year and a half. I want to save up a years living expenses before I go. I'm a life-nit like that. I'll probably end up in Cebu.
