Hello maria_and_matt,
I'm currently in ipswich now and will be staying here until mid-day Friday. I'm here also next week. Would you like to meet up? I'm still sorting out how to give you my contact details as I am restricted to send private messages. Let see if the administrator will let me.
I would suggest meeting up in a restaurant where we can eat rice?chinese, thai or similar would do if there is no filipino restaurant in the town center.
