No way Joe! Another Kano?

Hello, The name is John Smith (believe it or not, yeah I've heard all the jokes there are) and I would say I'm from Florida but I have lived all over the states and been all over the world.

I'm a young one compared to most permanent resident Americans here at only 27 years of age.

I'm in my first year of stay here and so far there are more pluses than minuses so I can never complain. My only problems really come from having to do anything involved with a government office or having to go the extra steps to be sure I'm not being taken advantage of being that every person with fair skin is rich here. Well at least according to the natives mentalities that is. HAHA!

I have a ton of great friends here in Bacolod City and I have used this site for some time for references on processing immigrant visas and other travel tricks especially when I first got here. Now that I will be here a while, I figure it was unfare to just take information without sharing my own experiences and the little knowledge I have acquired here.

I thank you all for all of your help and in depth postings on pertanent information that have helped me out in many ways.
