So very true Steve. It does feel a little claustraphobic over there sometimes as everyone is always worrying about you. I remember when I paid a surprise visit to my wife last December they were all shocked that I managed to find my way from the Airport to the house in Malabon on my own and I made it in one piece.
It's only natural that we worry about them when they first arrive here as it's totally new for them . It's only been a month but my wife is learning quite well and is already venturing out on her own. She has free travel in London so she's enjoying the fact that she can jump on the Tram Bus and Tube and go anywhere for free. Still have to be careful though so she doesn't go out on her own in the evening until she's a bit more street wise in our area.
