Whereabouts in SE London are you?

Okay. My wife is from Sagbang Valencia but she moved to Cavite about 15 years ago. Her sister was staying in Dumaguete until recently. She was there when it flooded not so long ago.

Have you tried the cafe in the shopping mall ? There's always Filipinas eating there.

Also there's at least a dozen Filipinas that I know of living in/around Beckenham... which is only a No.54 bus ride away !

... mixed age group, with/without children.
