289.727 British Pounds. On the PH floor no less.
How would it fare in an earthquake?

Well it will fare better than the smaller buildings around as it is designed to move in an earthquake. They've had to build hi rise condos to withstand earthquakes here since the 90s.

We had an earthquake here a few months ago - ok only a 4 point something and the building just shook a bit for me and I'm 47 floors up.

Where I live in Makati is not directly on a fault line, and earthquakes are not something I will spend my time worrying about, it's the jeepneys flying around in the dark without lights.

Ukraine seems a very good shout according to this, if you go there before it comes to Europe, you might even make money.

lisbon - isn't that in yemen or somewhere dangerous?

bali - isn't that where they shoot you, kidnap your wife and take her back to somalia?

vietnam - viet cong

laos - monies

rural spain - no internet. Or anything else to do.

philippines - ladyboys.

There's a reason why Britain is expensive.
Also any North African country, where you'll wake up in an alley with a sore bum and a kidney missing. And smelling of goat curry.
