Enjoy meeting your girlfriend but be careful.
Time is the only real way you will get to know her and also if the Philippines is right for you.

Time will give you so many more thoughts than you are feeling now.
I think we all shared these concerns, but from what my understanding is now, Stewart is giving it a 6 to 12 month shot & taking it from there.
He's had his eyes very much wide opened, with lots of positives & many many more negatives....of course theory & practise, are two different things, but he needs to find this out now, by going.

The main thing is, he hasn't cut his ties with the UK, so if things don't work out, or he can't adjust, he can come home.

But I agree with you, the Philippines isn't for everyone.
I'm behind him in this one, whereas with others I wouldn't neccesarily be, because he's taken his time & asked the right questions.
