I know where you are coming from peter, When i went to the philippines to meet and get engaged to my wife, i was treated like one of the family from the word go, from the first time i entered her home there, I felt as if i had been there before, like i had just come back home after being away. I had a strong sence of belonging there, and if i am honest it i miss my family there. it just dont feel right here in the UK even though born and raised here theres just something about the PI and its people, "I think it comes down to respect and the love they have for each other"
