Hi, my name is Rusty Ferguson. I am an American expat living in the Philippines since February of 2008. I grew up in the Southern USA. I retired early and decided to add some excitement to my life by moving to the Philippines. I am having the best time of my life. If you are thinking about moving to the Philippines this is the site for you. Follow along and learn how to avoid some of the mistakes I have made and some of the things that have gone well for me. With this blog, I cover topics like living in the Philippines, the cost of living in the Philippines, Filipino cultureand the US dollar to Philippine peso exchange rate. Being a lover of photography, there are many photorgraphs throughout this blog. Nearly all of which have been taken by me.

You often hear that raising your voice to a Filipino can get you deported. It is true, it can. Usually though it will take more than that. But if you are rude to a Filipino and they file a complaint with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) then you can be sure you will be at…
Since I have been living in the Philippines, I’ve seen things that have caused me to re-evaluate many things. I’ve been exposed to a lot of superstitious beliefs including those revolving around ghost in the Philippines. A lot of what I hear from Filipina still seems pretty far fetched. I can’t totally discount what I’ve…
