Are there Filipinos in Berkshire? or even just near Berkshire....

Very,very surprised but Reading was recently voted the worst town in the UK to bring up children because of the high crime rateEast Dunbartonshire was voted the best place to raise a family

Crime is never as bad as they make it sound...I've travelled all over the south of Britain for more than ten years now, and the only crime I ever witnessed was a pushbike being stolen in Croydon!

Worst crime I have witnessed in UK?Loads of assaults,but genuine crime?Two guys being mugged at a cash machine in Feltham,west london

Hi

I'm in Bracknell, which is about 12 miles from Reading. My fiancee isn't here yet, but we should be applying for a Visa in 2 or 3 weeks (hopefully, just waiting for divorce paperwork).

Any information about the area you need, I'm happy to provide. I lived in Reading for 8 years before moving to Bracknell.

Thanks my friend...

From where is your fiancee? mine is from Tilehurst Reading. Have you meet a lot of Filipinos there? Are there any issues on racial discrimination? How do British people treat Filipinos? specially in workplaces? are the people there hospitable just like Filipinos?

My fiancee is in Batangas. She's NOT the one who knows Reading. We're hoping to get Visa applications in next month so hopefully she'll be here in October (fingers crossed).
I have met a few filipina's in Reading and Bracknell. There WAS a filipino festival in Bracknell for a couple of years running, but I didnt go - it was before I met my finacee and I didnt have a significant interest at the time, now I wish I had.
People are generally hospitable. It helps to not be too shy yourself though. I find a lot of people who complain about 'inhospitable' workmates that never talkk to them havent made any effort themselves so their colleagues think the same of them.
Good luck

I see. Thank you MarBell for the information and advises. We will be working too with our visas (my 2 kids), just don't know yet when will we be going to Manila for that as I am still preoccupied with work here.

Well goodluck to you and your fiancee my friend... Thanks again! God Bless!

Just want to know if there are Filipinos living in Berkshire (Reading) or even just near the vicinity. I might be visiting there to meet my bfs family and friends and see what life there. Also at the same time wants to meet Filipinos around the place coz i think it would really be nice to meet kababayans there and observe how they were able to cope with life there specially in the way of living, change of weather, new culture, etc..

no i havent seen any,but i dont live there
