i spoke to my g/f on the fone today and after asking her how she was ,she replied she was cold !!!
nothing strange about that if she was in uk.
unfortunately not, she is in cavite , being an honest person with nothing to hide from her i quickly told her she would experiance the real meaning of cold over here .

that got me wondering how other people coped with the change of climate at first. and wether they found it a huge problem.

i found the heat and beautiful blue skys in the phils naturaly put me in a good mood.
quite the opposite to the cloudy ,steely grey skys, constant rain and cold in this country.
i,d be interested to hear peoples first hand experiance of this.
