If you are in the Philippines
and you need a place to stay.
Check out Calbayog City.
We're a bit out of the way.
--
We're on the island of Samar.
The city is really growing.
But we have the countryside too.
People here are easygoing.
--
We're not by the open ocean.
We don't worry much for typhoons.
Most morning here are beautiful.
Also, some gorgeous afternoons.
--
Our expat presence is average.
Most of us just go with the flow.
Even when we walk down the street,
and all the kids just call us "Joe".
--
So, stop by and give us a try.
Most likely you'll like what you see.
If you don't, then you can always
move to one of the big cities.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
