Short description

Drawing on over a century of combined first hand experience and the input from a dozen seasoned expats, Perry Gamsby offers this unique and informative guide to staying alive and happy in the Philippines. Whether you are planning your first trip to meet your penpal or you have lived there for decades, there is more than enough tried and tested life saving information in this book to satisfy you.

Extended description

This book takes a unique approach to personal safety management and considers all manner of harm that may threaten the reader in the Philippines particularly yet the majority of the content is good for anywhere in the world. Not all threats come from armed muggers and this book considers diseases, natural disasters, shoddy vehicle maintenance and just about anything that can make your life that little bit harder, especially when in this fascinating but still somewhat wild South East Asian destination.

Adult-content rating: This book contains content considered unsuitable for young readers 17 and under, and which may be offensive to some readers of all ages. For more information, see the Support FAQ.

Very enlighening..in straight up terms, as one would expect from a down to earth Aussie! It brings things to your attention that would not have occured if you are living in a typical western Nation. Thanks very much...well worth the read!
