I live on a farm that produces the same things as his, except I get a lot of eggs, both duck and chicken. And instead to Thailand, I'm in the Philippines.

However, I still have a US address and a guest room in a relative's house. I use that address for my direct deposit into a US bank and receive my mail there. Payments are made through the internet and any transfers from the US go to my Sister-in-Laws account here in the Philippines and I can withdraw from there.

I use the room in America for a week or so every year or two.
