I,m with you on this one, every time we shop in Harborne, we "bump" someone she knows, the butchers, bakers,fish and fruit shop staff all know her and our baby, she knows all the charity shop people( filling her 1st balikbayan box) and several other Filipinas she has met over the last 3 months she has been here. I only know the barmaid at our local and the teller in the bank!! I am really pleased with the way she has settled in despite the differences from our life in Hong Kong.
