We have recently bought into the Algarge having spent a few years in Ireland...I'm Irish, previously, we were 10 years in Penang, Malaysia, operating the Green House cafe as a 'go to' spot for incoming and prospective 'Malaysia my Second Home' people. I think perhaps it might be an idea if we did the same thing here...win, win...we'll see, but our experience accounted for a lot of happy retirees and we would like to help make the same thing happen here. New comers are always worried about asking some questions of locals for fear of offending them.
