So for the people who’ve been to Philippines and now made the uk there Home. What things do you miss and don’t have here in the uk?
The first three things that come to mind, in no particular order: An abundant supply of mangoes, coral reefs and foot/back massages.
Not anymore..The cheapest packet of fags now is 50 friggin Pesos!!! Thats like 80 Pence!!! A bottle of SMB is 29 Peso!!! Damned extortion IMO.
One thing tho, I miss the party’s there, with all the food and beers and just the general good times other then being made to sing on karaoke haha
Cheap spa day (real massage for a quid), cheap dermatologist, cheap cinema, cheap food and fruits that change depending on the season. Of course not to mention home/mom’s-cooked meal in general.
The bottle above was purchased in our local filipino store here - https://www.facebook.com/Sumang-Oriental-Store-143036939096237/ (well same owner but different location) There are Asian stores interspersed across the UK that sell it, maybe one a bit more local will have it. Maybe one day you will see it in a supermarket but I wouldn't hold my breath.
