A cautionary tale as many of the first expats form the Philippines worked in many nations around the world, some too busy chasing promotions, higher-education, status, wealth and life.  Now older they are discarded by society and find themselves alone, often in foreign nursing homes.  Its really to remind people to look into finding a spouse and starting a family when young while there is still time.

I'm a 61 year old born and raised in Canada.  My parents were both Austrian (Europe).  I'm married and my wife was born and raised in Luzon, Philippines.  Since 1997 I also live in the Philippines.  I have many interests: motorcycles, ebikes and bikes, horses, agri-forestry, computers, writing, song-writing, Chinese-Donghua (and some Japanese-Anime), inventions, doing the impossible, repairing things, projects, esoteric and much more.  While many take one path in life I love exploring and the roads seldom used.

I'll get an email address up - if you have a story to tell let the ole Rainforest Cowboy know.  I love to write about peoples' experiences, their cities and nations, hobbies, hopes and fears.  Maybe you're in love, promoting a charity, or missing a lost one - if you would like to share, I'll make a song about it.
