Thinking about marriage and family made me think about where I want to live and where I want to raise my family.
Currently, I live in Butuan City, the so-called capital city of CARAGA...
Growing up here and living more than half my life...I don't think I want to raise my family here. Why? you ask. Mainly because the growth and development of Butuan is so sllloooooooowwww that a snail can outrun it. I was already in my last or second to the last year in high school when the first Jollibee was opened. We used to have a Shakey's but it closed after...hmmmm... four/five months? The first "mall" was opened when I was in my last year in college....uh! DUH! Thus we had McDonalds and Pizza Hut...Well, Greenwich was opened a month or so I guess after Jollibee.
The "mall" by the way is three or four stories and opens at nine and closes at eight and their last full show in their cinemas is at nine. I don't think we have a five star hotel here...or a fine dining restaurant.
When I do have a family, I'll raise my children here if Butuan has the following:
If and when Butuan has a really nice and secure park, complete with sand box and swings and slides and seats for children to play. Also a park where families can have a picnic in relative peace where you don't have to worry about people getting your stuff or kids asking money or food from you while you and your family are eating. A park where you can fly a kite, play frisbee or just jog around or walk your dog.
Also I'd want a museum...like a children's museum where kids can touch the items displayed and play with them. Where they can be educated too, outside the classroom. An interactive museum...yeah, that's it!
A zoo too, where kids can actually see the animals they can only see on tv or in books...
The above would be really fun.
And yeah a play center, where working moms can leave their kids knowing that they are safe and well taken care of.
