For me nothing will ever compare to the Philippines. After having lived here in the UK for 16 years, i can honestly say that my life back home was happier than my life here. I live in Bacolod and people their are just a lot friendlier than here. I can remember going to our neighbours house in the afternoon for 'merienda' and a chat. Here I have to make an appointment to see friends. Here in Ipswich we live in a neighbourhood where we smile and nod when we see each other normally me driving out of our close and them doing something in their front gardens, but never made conversation. I think that we Filipinos in general are just friendly no pun intended to our brit husbands. I miss the weather, the food and most of all the people back home, although I never regretted coming here in the UK, i have been blessed with a husband that take such good care of me and a son that I adore. As the other girls said, we make UK our home coz our husbands are here, but my heart is still back home.
