The Philippines
The Philippines archipelago is made up from more than 7,000 islands and has a population of around 116 million people.
Due to the large number of islands, he coastline extends over 22,000 miles!
The largest island is Luzon in the north, home to the country's capital Manila, and second largest is Mindanao in the south, the location of our new home.
Mindanao is around 37,000 square miles (England is around 50,000 square miles) and is home to around 27 million people. We will be settling into an area in the north east known as Misamis Occidental which covers around 800 square miles and is home to around 600,000 people. The largest town in Misamis is Ozamiz City, which has a population of around 140,000

THE CITY
Ozamiz City is not the most developed place in the Philippines. Is is a small town really, and we are now familiar with the location of most things and we can find our way around quite well. We have been to most Hardware stores looking for materials for the vehicle entrance and the fence. There is a lot available but hard to find quality materials, most seem to be rejects from China!
