Hi Pete & Gina and the rest in the forum, as for the cartridges, my father in law loved me for that lol! I bought him a about 10 packs of 4 that will last him for a year. I do asked my husband as to what are the stuff that I can get here cheap and i also took note of l\my husband being fascinated with our toothpaste here what with diferent flavors such as chocolate, strawberry etc. if there's one thing my father in law didn't like though was that a papaya soap stained his tub. My husband bought one with him even if I insist that there's no need for him to use one as he's white as snow already. He just love to try on new things.
This early, my mother in law already spoke to a few filipina nurses neighbor she gets to know thru her friend so hopefully I will not be to homesick on not seeing a filipina there. I'm looking forward too on meeting the couples here when time permits.

Thanks again and more power.
