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![]()
