Introduction
I was originally going to title this “Get Out of Manila”. Then I thought about adding “and the Manila Suburbs”. But I had an epiphany in that all big cities are pretty much the same. So “Get out of the Big City”. I am not saying stay away from cites, just the large ones. In the case of the Philippines cites larger than say 500,000. Unfortunately this takes a lot of tourist destinations off the list.
Let me explain my reasoning. And this really has nothing tom do with the Philippines, and more to do with the nature of big cities. Basically the big city attracts all sorts of people for the wrong reasons. If someone comes to the city from the country, they really need to ask themselves how their skill set translate. For example there is not a large demand for farming skills in the big city.
But I digress from my main point.
