    Newly arrived in UK

    Hello Everyone,

    It's great to be a member of this community and am glad I'd found this site.

    My purpose of searching community like this is to find friends ( networking). I am very new here in UK and I don't know anyone.

    I had been trying to search around our area -Crawley where I could socialize with my fellow filipinos. Hopefully by joining this community,I would be able to meet new friends.

    Thanks
    Mady

    Hello Mady,

    Welcome to England and Welcome to the forum
    Life is short, live it.
    Love is rare, grab it.
    Anger is bad, dump it.
    Fear is awful, face it.
    Memories are sweet, cherish it.

    First and for all, thanks all for the very warm welcome.

    I am from Ilocos province but mostly been living abroad.

    I'll be very glad to get to know you and your wife.

    Once again thanks

    .Apparently you cant receive private messages .......so




    Me, my wife and her daughter live in Forest Row at the moment which is about 15 miles from Crawley. How about you, do you live in Crawley town centre or nearby?

    There is a filipino brit association in East Grinstead as a lot of them work at the hospital there. My step daughter goes to the local catholic school in East grinstead where there is also quite a few filipino families.

    Filipino food shops are few are far between although there is a small one recently opened in Crawley which is mainly Tai Asian withna few filipino foods. its between the old town and newer bit

    I came here with my husband and our 2 years old son. I've joined the mother and child play group here in our area but unfortunately am the only fil soul so far.

    As we're still settling down, never really had much time exploring around especially myself except weekends visit to some parks.
