So we have established OFW's are the best bet. You state that they get a Sunday off every blue moon. All the guys require now is the 20 years to court them. Goodness me why is life through the eyes of a twenty something western male so simplistic. If only it was. No offence intended ok.
Graham,I once had an indonesian girlfriend I met at the exact spot your top pic is taken,TST near the clock,the overhead walkway looking over to the islandThat place is wall to wall pinays on a sunday though not as many as the tens of thousands who flock to central
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Point taken Tawi but, Im sure glad I met my wife where she was born and grew up, i met most of her cousins and all her close family. i wanted to meet them, for sure, what they are and stand for, my wife Jane will be the same. Imagine meeting your future wife in a cafe in Hammersmith, just her, no family to relate to. Just my opinion ok But, im glad we took route, we took.
Yep, lots meet in Kowloon Park too, and of course Central on HK Island.Originally Posted by Tawi2

Before I brought the family over from the Phils to live on Lantau, I had an apt. off Nathan Road TST for about a year.
Was a married man, so had to be a good boy though.
None taken but you really need to read what I've said properly. I don't state anywhere that they get a 'Sunday off every blue moon'. I said they get every Sunday off full stop (and the 13 public holidays). Or to be more accurate, they must get a 24 hour uninterrupted break every week *by law*. Nearly always Sunday but some get Saturday instead (which is unpopular for obvious reasons!)
That doesn't mean they can *only* go out on that day off though and they have to work non-stop the rest of the time! Some very harsh Chinese families may keep them working late in the evening but this isn't typical. This is one major downside though. They work hard long hours but then that isn't really any different to a large percentage of the working women in the Philippines. And either way, we're talking about Long Distance Relationships here and not a traditional courting arrangement. In my view, it is no a brainer if you're starting out. You can meet the family (much
This is not to knock anyone who has gone the Philippines route and it has worked - it is advice for those considering dating a Filipina for the first time and especially for those who've already had hassle in the Philippines and think this it is the only option. There is nothing simplistic about this. I'm talking from personal experience dating Filipinas in Hong Kong. For sure, if you live and work there it is easier but if you're planning a LDR and are only going to meet for a short time in person before marrying anyway, finding someone in HK, Singapore, or wherever, is a far better bet than the Philippines.
if you live in the uk, i cant see what the difference will be, maybe not being able to get your end away on the first date and having to take the family out instead
meeting the wifes family for the first time and showing your intention towards your intended maybe old fashioned, i remember it well...we took my mother inlaw to jerrys grill and she had the squid and she said we looked good together
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
Different rules mate,OFW's (even indonesian muslims)were usually a bit more liberated once away from the maria clara ideals of PinasAll the guys require now is the 20 years to court them

The second pic is the beach at Pui O, on Lantau Island
where we lived...about 300 yards back from where the kids were paddling.
Very nice. I lived on Lamma when I was in HK. A pain in the **** to commute from but was made up for the by the beautiful beaches nearby.The second pic is the beach at Pui O, on Lantau Island

Oh yes, Lamma is nice too.
Used to take me a couple of hours to get to work from my place, but well worth it.
I loved Hong Kong, and to me it really had everything. Had I been single I'd still be there now, but the kids needed to go to school in the UK, so that was our next move.
I had one in Wanchai for a while near Southorn basketball courts,I was unmarried and if those walls could speak they would make a kalbo guys hair curlI had an apt. off Nathan RoadHappy days huh

Hi corjoh,
You could also cool things down and not send any money for six months and see if she is still interested then.
Take time with this lady, I can see a lot of red flags especially with her numerous online activities.
Be very careful
