Right time to start my first thread.

How do filipinos feel mixing with other orientals in the UK? do you guys find it easy/hard? too different?

I recently joined the British born chinese, though ive made some good friends, it can be really hard going at times.

There are some who thinks that they are better with everyone in the planet:icon_lol:. But it is not only orientals in the UK you will see this mentality...every where in the world you'll find them.

As long as they hand over my sweet and sour chicken I ordered to the wife, we all get on just fine :)

My advice is simple ... but effective [I hope!] ... JUST BE YOURSELF,:ARsurrender: as Filipinos in general, are renowned the world over for their friendliness.

My Thai ex wife has a lot of flipino friends - plus a few koreans, some vietnamese, but no chinese friends. Both Thais and flipinos are friendly and don't seem to have a problem with each other!

Why don't you talk about Jackie Chan movies. I am sure they will talk about that. Surely. You have to find a topic of conversation they will pick up on. Chinese people can be skittish about certain topics. I am not surprised considering how the Chinese police are. I recall a Scotsman who took his bagpipes to Beijing and they thought it was a bomb. But hey ;) got to laugh.

I never understand why Asian people feel the need to be lumped together with japanese, Chinese, Korean, Filipino. Seems a bit stereotypical things the Americans talk of with ignorance- "Ah slanty eye guys from the east who are small. They are all the same"

Celebrate the differences and talk about it. Nei sik msik gong ying man?

I always talked about the war when I was in Germany. :xxgrinning--00xx3: They never said anything about it, they probably didn't want the score to be 3-0 :D
