Why is it always difficult to leave....:bigcry:

[aryM]

I am happy but sad as well. I’ve never been away from my family. Why is it always difficult to leave? I am leaving for UK in 15 days, just the thought of it makes my heart crash into pieces..full of mixed emotions.

Is there any Filipina out there living somewhere near Bromley London....? I need your advise please my dear Pinay mentors, how will I cope up with homesickness... sorry po this is going to be my PERS TIME to UK..

Hello dear, I understand how you feel I've felt the same way too. Been here in UK for 8 weeks already and still misses family back in the Phils. But my new family here in UK has been very helpful to take away the pain of missing my Phil. family. and my husband makes sure i get to talk to them every week. I'm sure your husband and his family and friends will make you feel alright. In the main time, make the most of your days there in the Phils with your family and friends. Have a safe journey and goodluck

There are a few members here from around various areas of London, though I'm not sure of any in Bromley yet. I know a few Filipino here and there around London. There is an asian/filipino grovery store near me in Gillingham (that's not far from Bromley), Kent that is run by a filipino couple and I found this shop while seraching: Filipino Foods Supply Ltd, 284 High Street, Orpington, Kent. BR6 0ND. Phone number -01689 838330. Orpington is even nearer to Bromley! You'll have to vist the Bluewater shopping mall, which a few years ago when it was built, was the largest shoppng mall in Europe!

I'm sure you'll meet new friends soon once you're here!

Woooh... thank you for the good info south east boy now I have one sure target place to go when I arrive in Bromley and oh the bluewater shopping mall I gooled it and yes looks really big, can I buy cheap items/ clothes there or items in bargain price, if its a place of pricey stores then I think it will take time for me to conquer the place

Sad that no one in particular here lives in Bromley 9

Hi again, our biggest malls arent so disimilar to the Mall of Asia. But often items of clothing can be pricey. Depends on what you are after.

My wife likes Tribal clothing ( I dont think there is one in the UK? ) but I noticed that a] she takes a much smaller size than many UK females and b] that the fabrics in Phils are often that bit thinner as they don't need to be so thick. So our clothing tends to be more expensive for those reasons, amongst others.

I know this might sound a bit silly but I have a feeling she might well fit into our childrens range of clothing as she is 4ft 11" and a size 6. So we may find clothing is cheaper for her, here, for that reason.

Well, Bluewater does have quite a few designery/fancy shops which are more expensive, but it also has the usual high-street shops and quite often shops have sales on when you go anyway. There's also another shopping mall called Lakeside which is in Dartford and not far from Bluewater as well. The Asian/Filipino store near me in Gillingham is called Leo's Oriental mini-mart, 125 Canterbury street, Gillingham, Kent. ME7 5TT. tel no.: 01634 853000.
