Hi all of you! This is NOT an englishman writing. Im actually a Norwegian living in The Philippines :-)
Im a member of Eyeonspain simply because many of you in here provide me with very good info, which is very helpful as my wife (Filippina), our 1 year old little guy and I plan to move too Spain, probably next year.
Ok, back too the issues in this thread.
Firstly, some here complain about stupid Englishmen, rude language and intolerable behaviour. Some do complain why not Scots, Welch and Irish are not included. Well, I have to go a bit further: Why have you "Anglosaxons" (used for fun, don't get mad) forgotten those who don't use english as their native language?
To tell the truth; I've met many Norwegians (and Englishmen, Germans etc.) here in Cebu that can't behave. I've met distinguished English coming from what we Norwegians would call "a furnished home" that have impressed me. However, I can easily spot those who just come here for a) cheap prices and b) cheap women.
But please, don't write as all Englishmen living "far out" are scumbags, because they aren't. There will always been someone that behave indecently, whatever nationality. We others just ignore them :-)
