Is the grass greener in the UK? Well we didn't have a lawn in the Philippines and our garden here in the UK is full of grass so our guinea pigs have a supply, so it's greener..hahaha..

Kidding aside, when I first came here, what worried me most was being isolated. I lived in Manila all my life (except when I worked in Singapore for 6 months) and love being in the city so much mainly because I can do anything and go everywhere I would want to. But coming here, I'd be living in a small village up the hill in the country side, 3 miles away from the town and not being able to drive, that worried me a lot about being isolated. Anyway, I overcome the feeling though. We usually go out everyday anyway to go to town and go to Liverpool weekly, so being isolated is not a problem anymore.

I've met a couple of Filipina members here in the forum but since they live far from me, we haven't met yet again. We do have a Filipina friend married to my hubby's friend and we regularly see them. So having a Filipina friend is already checked on my list. I can also talk to some of my neighbours once in a while, especially whenever it's sunny day and everyone's out. Hubby's family has always been great to me too.

Oh, I haven't experienced riding a bus and train yet, but it never really interested me since we have a car and that's better. I do have a driver anyway..hahaha..
