Hello all, kumusta sa inyo lahat?
I thought Id introduce myself. My name is Andy & I married Rose 5 years ago. We try and go to the Phils every other year, and visited Bohol as well as visiting Roses province (Neg Occ) last November. I love most Filipino food, but still havent got used to the fishs head looking at me on the plate! Weve discovered a Filipino store in Hounslow for food, which is an easier, cheaper trip than London. Im trying to learn Filipino, but its difficult with books, so only know a few phrases and words its not taught in evening classes! We hope to go to the London fiesta in July, as we didnt go last year. I love the Phils and would love to live there (or at least try it for at least 6 months), but Rose thinks Im too young (nearly 43) to retire! Are there any others who plan to emigrate either in the near or distant future?
Im glad that there are FilBrit forums like this, as a lot of Phils orientated info/sites etc is American orientated. Im a member of a few Yahoo foreign/Phils groups, but a lot are American orientated, although I have found 2 Brit/Phils groups one with members mostly in the UK, & the other with Brit expats in the Phils.
Good bye & Paalam
Andy
