I remember that some time ago, you were considering moving to Costa Rica ...
That means that since quite a while you didn't check my blog. :)
Costa Rica is also a very nice country, but finally we decided to got for Asia instead.
How far are you from the closest beach?
Not very far. It should last a little more than one hour to drive from Tagaytay to Batangas.
Also the Taal Lake (where we were today) is very near.
