After spending some time in Slovakia, I want to absorb the culture. The only way to do that is to live there. Any advice on how to go about it?

I am currently looking at the pensionado program in Guatemala, as my VA disability will allow a comfortable life, and my international investment business will produce good income without Uncle Sam dipping in.

I spent some time around Subic Bay, Manila, and parts of Southern Luzon. I have been all over the island of Cebu. I have spent a lot of time down further South where you dont really want to be as well.

I live in England and have done so since1999. I am currently in the process of preparing to move my family back to the US. I moved here simply because at the time the economy was better for me here, not so much the case now. Even though I have been away so long I have never stopped missing home and can not wait to get back.

Use the courtesy you expect. Nay, treat them better.No matter what gifts you were given, You are never above yourself. By whatever cause you are driven, Put yourself on the back shelf.Those around…See More

Liam replied to Liam's discussion Moving towards my first muscle up"Thanks for the advice Sam.
It is interesting that you didn't find the negatives very helpful. The elastic idea is really interesting. I have managed my first reps but what I found was I am taking one arm over the bar before the other, either my…"
Liam replied to Liam's discussion Moving towards my first muscle up"Yes I agree, unfortunately I don't have anything to record myself with. I managed my first poor quality reps the other day which I am thrilled about but my maximum reps of pull ups has fallen significantly in the process (from 12 - 15 down to…"
Liam S. replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?"Well "stylish" can mean many things.
Personally, for around $100, I would look at the Seiko 5 series. These are very solid automatic movements (no batteries, but no winding either - if you wear them). They are built well, and there is a…"
