It's always my fault 😢
😂🤣 Yes you did it Paul
Dirty Paul wants guys to meet him at the glory hole
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
So Monte, your wife comes home from time with her cousins & wakes you up with the baby bottles, have you thought about getting that task done while she's gone, so when she arrives, she can just rest & not have to start into chores late at night? Side benefits: your wife will feel loved & you won't get woken up
Yeah well she doesn’t do them in the kitchen since we don’t have hot water there. She does them in a tub and a metal bowl. I can’t get down that low and still get back up. Since this last trip to the hospital it’s hard for me to stand up for very long
Good interview Monty, its good to see that youre looking better after your hospitalization. Welcome to the Philippines Joe. ive been married to a Filipina 13+ years. I loved the Philippines so much that i really didnt want to go back to the USA at all.
I can definitely understand that. I just released the video with Joe. We did it before I got sick and was in the hospital.
I think he meant Kuala Lumpur. It’s in Malaysia! Close to Singapore
I’m glad things are looking up for Joe
Yes he’s a very nice guy Rich
Another good video Monty. Your right bring good looking new condition 100's. You can start cashing one at the exchange at the airport. Cebu airport is on the way out after you get your bags. Credit cards are accepted just about anyplace. Just make sure you get a card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fee. A easy one to get and it does not have foreign transaction is the Discover card. Best way I found out getting money over is Money Gram app tied to my bank. Instant sending can pick up at any pawn or money place. Lots there. Be careful on bikes or renting vehicles. You are responsible if you hurt anyone. They can hold you there. Taxi, grab, are the best. Ferry and bus for long hauls. Last is travel insurance is cheap and worth it. Also met a guy got hit on his scooter going back to states. Not worth it. Take care Monty
Thank you very much Fred for the great information
Wow you look so much better Monty❤
Thank you but I made several videos before I had my heart attack last week and was in the hospital several days
Hey guys
Congrats on making move sir joe. Looking better family crew. Catching FIRE Dec 2025
Mati here i come
Just keep positive mindset
Thank you very much. I’m glad you will be able to retire and relax.
Monty real good interview reminded me of my first day in Manila. Happy to see you are feeling better.
Thank you very much for watching Tom
Good interview I enjoyed it
Thank you very much for always watching and commenting Mike, it really helps our little channel. I hope everything is going well for you. I haven’t seen you in a while
Joe,
Just remember you are in the "honeymoon" phase. the newness of it all.
gotta live here a few months to get all of the good n bad of it all.
Take care, and be safe.
True Gizzi
Hey Monty , cool video keep up the good work .
Thank you Edwin ❤
I would like to know from you the following, please:
Is the Philippines a cash-oriented society in general or not?
I need to know from you whether or not debit / credit cards are widely used by people, and accepted by restaurants, shopping malls etc as a method of payment in general?
How much is the laundry service (wash, dry and press) in the Philippines per kilo?
In some cities laundry places are not easy to find...how about in the Philippines?
Enjoy the weekend and thank you!
Hi Fernando, it’s definitely a cash society here. We have a washing machine and haven’t done laundry in years outside the house.
I was able to enjoy the video. I saw a previous video about your having a stroke and the Filipina still stayed. I am Filipino but now live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I have a friend who is looking for a Filipina wife for his son. If you could recommend one from there, it would be a great help. Thank you. 16:11
Hi Luis, unfortunately every lady we personally know are all in relationships 😞
thanks for sharing monty. God bless you and Joe
Thank you very much for watching 😊
Great interview, Monty. you are making your guest feel easy. Greetings ❤
Thank you very much Ted 💛
Listening to the flight experience. I don’t know what is going on with the paranoid Americans. I mean, the security at airports is getting crazy! After my 2nd visit to Panama, I had a friend’s mom, 76, accompanying me back to Canada and we had a 2 hour wait for our connecting flight. So I just thought it would be enough time to get some lunch at the airport like in other countries. No idea how many lines people had to go through security. I got nervous. But standing in line, I was surprised to see that flight crew members had to line up too. So I asked one of the captains why they had to line up with passengers now. “New regulations…” And he asked me where we heading to. After I told him my flight and that we just had 40 minutes left to get to our gate, still 20-30 people in front of us, he just said: No worries. If we are still here, your flight isn’t going anywhere. I’m the pilot and that’s my crew. - We got 20 minutes late to the gate accompanied by the crew. I don’t know. Maybe I am getting old or it was really easier to travel in the old days. But I made myself a promise. I will never ever travel through the US on a connection flight. This is plain crazy! 2.5 hours until passengers can sit in a connection flight seat! And the stupid questions the security guards asking. “What brings you to the US?” - MY FLIGHT PLAN!! Grrrrrr. - Update: My ex-girlfriend I met in Canada is Filipina. So we did visit her place. If I could have, I had no problems to stay in the Philippines. But my girlfriend walked around with “horrible face” impression. She didn’t want to live in the Philippines! Anyway. What impressed me right away? Every person is smiling, happy and helpful. Not like grumpy Germans. Well I ended up in Panama. Different story….
Good to know. I apologize that you had to go through that
@@crewfamilyphilippines Well. We travelers or normal people can’t do anything, except to deal with it. But honestly? I have to live with my disability since my accident. It would be easier to keep up with this travel issues when people are healthy. So with that said, since I tried from March 2020 until 2022 to return to my home in Edmonton, Alberta and I was blocked from the Canadian travel restrictions, I just sold everything - well - my Filipina ex-girlfriend (and you know how that is going if you can’t get there to see what money goes in & out ) - I didn’t travel outside of Panama at all. Here I have a girlfriend. She traveled many times to Colombia, what is only a 1 hour flight. I don’t have to go around all the time. My jobs kept me always on the roads and barely at home. Especially when I worked as a long haul trucker in North America. So I’m very happy just being at home. And the work on my house keeps me busy. After I get off construction, I honestly just like to relax, what gets my girlfriend crazy. But lifting a couple hundred pounds of material in the morning is wearing me out. After 1pm, I can’t stand the heat at my lot and do what Panamanian people do. Going home.
I hate airports, it’s by far the worst aspect of travelling
The bare minimum preparation is opening a WISE account in your home country but also ensuring your other cards aren’t geolocked. At NAIA change some money and set up your phone (let them do it) at the kiosk. That’s really all the important prep-phone and money.
Thank you Leroy 😊
hi monty and joe. Im in cebu now debating to come to duma for january. you mentioned some people helping you out upon your arrival. are they available to help a newbies or just friends.
👍🏻

I have used Remitly since I got here a year and a half ago and have had zero issues. It is much harder to get small change-LOL
Very true 🤣
I think that is your best interview every. Thank you.👍👍👍
🤣
Monty so great to see you! Looks like you are doing better. Always pulling for you. Continue to get better and take care.
Thank you, I will 😊
Hi sir Monty good to see you back home,
Sir Joe is one of a kind too. He always put a comment on your videos. Scooter is scary to drive around because no matter how careful you're there's always one person who doesn't care if they hit you.
Hi Ann, thank you and I agree it’s very dangerous to drive here as well as many countries where traffic laws are not enforced.
Great job Guys Welcome Joe.
Thank you Danny 😊
Good video, so how do you get the 100 dollar bills I to philippine without bending them or someone stealing them
I carry a man bag with the money in it.
I’m not sure what the problem with USD bills is. I changed Australian dollars at NAIA no problem and they weren’t all perfect, you shouldn’t have a problem changing at the airport maybe in the provinces they can be a bit finicky.
@@leroyybrown it’s everywhere in the Philippines, as far as the dollars go even in Cebu and Manila
@@crewfamilyphilippines I guess travel with bills in an envelope in a money belt. I’ve never had bills rejected in Thailand or the Philippines but obviously they can’t be defaced or torn.
@@leroyybrown I will have them turn down a little discoloration. It’s crazy.
Hi mounty merry Christmas you and family
Merry Christmas to you Sir 💛
#1 challenge for me was getting up to speed with tech...I'm a dumb guy with a smart phone .welcome + good luck Jo. Good to see you back at it Monty.
Thank you very much Dale 💛
It is always good to have boots on the ground first before you decide anything. I made 3 trips here before deciding to move here and when I got here I spent 7 months travelling to places to see what place suited me best. Also do your homework. There is lots of of good videos on UA-cam and good info online. I also talked to a lot of Filipino's that were working in Canada and got some good advice from them too.
Very good information Brian 💛
Good interview Monty. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Jonnie
Welcome to the Philippines, Joe!!! Enjoy the warm weather, friendly and hospitable people. Good to see Monty up and about.
Thank you! Will do! 💛
With almost-free modern communications, the internet, and fast travel and a relatively standardized world when it comes to amenities like transportation and housing etc, relocating is not as hard and life-changing as it used to be prior to the availability of all the modern standardized ways of living. However, it's still a big change relative to what you're used to in your home country, but hopefully for the better.
I agree it’s very different from home
hang in there Monty
Thank you Alix
Great video Monty. I learn something every time I watch.
Thank you very much for watching Rusty 💛
Mr Monty how old is Joe?
61 Mavith
Great conversation
Thank you Alvah 😊
How is Jim!! any updates in the house??
I’m supposed to be making the final video of his house today. We shall see he’s a bit of a perfectionist.
@@crewfamilyphilippines ok, thanks for the reply
Nice chat with Joe. Good info for those going to the Philippines. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Gary, he’s a very nice man. 😊💛

Thank you! You too! 😊💛
Good video. I'm hoping between western union and debit cards, I can make it work. I'm also quite tech challenged, but I'll learn.
Yes, Dan you’ll get it buddy 😊

Hi Joe, you're very nice and such a cool guy - good looking too! Wishing you the best!
Thank you very, very much Nikki 😊
Welcome Joe! Hello Monty🙂
Hi Mike 😊
Joe, I hope you come back - don't make this a one-time visit!
Yes, he will be back
Joe is in good hands. You are a simple home spun guy.
I love your home. Also, a leasehold improvement needs not always be a no no.
What people who advise against leasehold in the Philippines do not ever ask is how much are you going to put into the leasehold improvement.
If one can afford the potential loss of a leasehold do it. If one cannot afford the potential loss do not do it.
A foreign leasehold improvement in the Philippines is always a loss. But in such cases one can recoup the loss by calculating the pay back period vs renting.
Thanks for demonstrating an affordable leasehold improvement with a short pay back period.
Thank you for the great information 😊
Great video 👍
Thank you Grady 😊
good to see you monty,how long is joe planning to be there ,im thinking of coming for a month to do the same.im wondering if thats long enough? be intresting to see what decision he comes to.tc there from uk
He staying for a total of three months. In my opinion, one month is not enough
thankyou ,appreciate that.
Kuala Lumpur, is in Malaysia
👍🏻
👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you Keith 😊💛
You guys looking enjoy how much whose have money not happy watch trump
👍🏻
Whether it's luck or good planning and research. I think Dumaguete (And the surrounding areas as a collective, Valencia, Bacong etc etc) is the BEST choice for an older retiree. I've been traveling throughout the Philippines since 2000'. Short vacations and long stays, and Duma iffers the best of all worlds. Manila and Cebu city are NOT safe at night and much much less safe overall from small provincial cities. Best wishes. Curtis, 50, retired Navy
Thank you for the great advice Curtis. 😊
A bunch of old guys retiring in a poor tropical country, where things can go seriously wrong at any time, does not sound like a good idea to me.
👍🏻
Hey monte how is you multicab holding up? Is it stick or automatic? What model do you have are you happy😊
I love it. It’s automatic. No problems DA4 or something like that. Don’t remember 😊
