Thanks for the flood of replies.
I did post in the Pen Pal Talk/Chat forum.. so to be clear I'm not looking to get married in a couple of weeks!!! I was looking for someone to chat with who shares common interests & is located somewhere that I'm familiar with. My experience is that a Hong Kong/Singapore based Filipina has a slightly more International/Western perspective on life than my last experience! & of course in my case such a location does offer the best opportunity to meet up if things develop. I'm not ruling out an RP based person as long as they have experience outside the homeland!
Yes I do meet Filipinas in Hong Kong through work at social events. But I'm not looking for the added complication of getting intertwined with other peoples relatives/friends.
If Lavander or Florge finds this clarification post might show I'm interest to the people they have mentioned, my contact details are in my profile.
Once again thanks to all.
