As explanation why I said Jana's training in the Philippines is so expensive:
in Germany her club membership monthly fee was 7€ and for standard sport training that she could join in the past there's no additional cost at all except for the parent-toddler gymnastic (0-3yo), any assisting guardian had to pay 5€ extra / month.
Toddler under 3yo always need guardian's assistance, hence the extra cost.
But no extra cost for any other training schedules except it's special kind of sport like "judo, kendo, handball", but even then...I only had to pay 2€ extra.
Jana's chess activity was offered by different club and it costs me 5€ only and if I remember correctly it was only per-Quartal.

As comparison I now have to pay close to 3000 PHP (with today kurs it's about 45€) for 12 sessions aka 4 weeks. It's consumable and if she missed one schedule, the credit session will still be considered consumed unless the training is cancelled by force majeure reason like the typhoon this week.

I chatted with the coach and he told me that it's already rather cheap compared to in the neighbouring city which normally asked for 5500 PHP.
In the USA he said it's up to 250 USD/month and in Hongkong he said it's up to 400 USD/month.

Well, I said I don't want to compare it with USA cos I think it's general knowledge already about how expensive education cost in USA could be...
I'm saying it's very expensive in relation to Philippine's GDP LOL.
Sport training and anything else of the sort that are good for children's development are in general very expensive here.
So it's not only about this club alone.
It's so anaffordable for average household in the Philippines.
Isn't it so unfortunate?
Is it a wonder then if most children are more occupied by television and phone?
Because it's cheaper for the people to just let the kids play with the phone...🙃.

We're lucky to find this condo cos this community has such a big area to play outdoor with enough greenery for the kids and we have neighbours with little children.
It's rather safe too even if I'm not always supervising her while playing outside, because it's a gated community, otherwise Jana might not be as happy as now here.

Alltogether she still has enough motoric exercises even if she doesn't have the artistic gymnastic training anymore like in Germany.
And now she can swim everyday if she wants, something that she couldn't do in Germany LOL.
