Well one or two are ok, but what seems like 3000 all joining in the cacophany before 6 in the morning is a horrible way to be dragged into the new day. They had previously woken me up at 03:30 and I managed to drop off again. The UK seems positively silent in comparison. My wife's island is really in the province, in fact it is between 2 to 4 hours from the mainland of Cebu. I just wanted to get off the island as soon as possible I could only ever live in the Philippines if there were no squawking man-chickens....
Wear ear plugs or get very drunk or do both! That should work. Strangley in the wifes province its not the cockerls that kept us awake, it was the frogs in the rice paddy. All bloody night!!!
Even from our house in Manila I can still hear the morning chorus of those cockerills. Mind you, as you say, 1 or 2 is not so bad. (I quite like it really, bring back happy childhood memories) I'm not sure about so many though Just one of those many issues to consider if relocating to the paradise islands
I am met by one each morning. He patrols the car park where I work. He approaches my vehicle like an expectant car park attendant.
The wife has recently declared she wants to start breeding pigs on the rice farm aswell!!! So it'll be pigs and frogs, plus the sisters tv / stereo which only seems to have one volume setting....MAXIMUM!! Ciouple that with the family in village about 600m from us who starts playing his stereo that loud I could sing a long to various visya songs!!! Good job I had my kindle, cold beer and plenty of rum!
You do need a certain mindset to survive and stay happy in those paradise islands. It's more fun in the Philippines :vhappy:
I detect a that there is a certain manic quality implied in the use of that particular smiley on this occasion Peter I tend to agree with you
Why are they such stupid creatures? OK squark when the sun comes up but squarking all day? They maybe just p****d off at being tied up but I think their ways serve no real logic. What do I know? Not much!
