Hi Beth,
How you doing, you alright?
Glad to hear that you made it to the strange UK..(oops![img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Doh.gif[/img] lets say lovely place, I like in here really specially at the moment lots of flowers about, that I seldom see in the jungle Philippines. Weather is not too bad, although it can be freezing sometimes or a bit chilly but I get used to it now - the only secret is to wear sensible clothes. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
Fish and chips! wheew! its so famous here, you can see chip shops everywhere and people queing outside the shops just to eat their specialty, hmm see how desperate they are [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Grin.gif[/img] . Please try their famous traditional Sunday dinner, which is very fantastic meal, ask your husband to take you to the restaurant who serves carvery. I love it! and it makes me look bloated everytime I finished eating those stuff, haha I wonder most people here have big bump. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] And another famous thing here is pub, lots of people are likes to booze, you rarely see an empty pubs especially in the summer, its absolutey packed.

And by the way, one thing I noticed here is the way they pronounce the word 'isn't it', you can hear them saying init or inti. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Doh.gif[/img]
Well, thats all I can share for now, just enjoy this country, its good fun init? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
