So I neglected to write a blog post about the fact that WE ALL FOUND HOUSES TO RENT during our last trip to Bataan!! Thanks to those of you who were praying for us! This is my little house:
During our house-hunting trips to Bataan, we were also able to check out the shops out there and determine what is available and what we would need to buy in Manila before we move. We have been busy shopping ever since!!
Rental properties in the Philippines differ from those in Australia in that 1) there are usually repairs that need to be done prior to moving in, and 2) there is NOTHING in the house (which can make shopping a big job). For example, there is not a single cupboard in my house - not even in the kitchen...
Miraculously, we were all able to find houses that we could move into without needing to repair first. That is not something you take for granted in this country... So thanks again for praying!!
Tonight we packed all our stuff into the truck, ready for our big move bright and early tomorrow morning!! I think we're all looking forward to finally getting settled in our own houses and to escaping the pollution in Manila. We're hoping to start language study on Monday. :-)
