Filipinos, what is it like living in the UK? Any tips or practical advice?

You're actually learning. I'll keep this weather question in mind.

Not a fan of beer too but in the name of love I'm drinking it when I'm with him in the pub. And just to fit in too

Of course I've only eyes for her and no one else she's my princess.

Coz I should learn hahah I feel the urgency to... You'll share to me soon on how you answer those questions

That's what I'm talking about.

Were both blessed to have each other I would be lost with out her now well were all blessed here to have found our best friends and soul mates.

Yes buying rounds is a pub etiquette that's so natural to me I forgot to mention it!

Hahaha, I agree! That time I just ordered mojito as I really don't like beers (this is another story to tell ). Well out of respect, I only took a bottle of beer but that's it, mojito and some footie stories accompanied me the rest of the night.

True it's just a normal thing for us.

Exactly. We're all blessed and content in our own ways so let's cheers to that I bet you're counting the days now

The first time caught me off guard as I didn't know!

I can imagine your delight hearing all those and drinking some mojito. Oh boy I'm sure you had fun

I hear that Brom27 and I am I can't wait to see her again have a wedding to start organising to when I get over to manila so busy busy haha.

Busy yet happy days ahead.. I can't wait for you inquiring about marriage and visa thingys here. All the best man

I bet the mojito story is entertaining! I do enjoy a Long Island Iced Tea, but not too many!

Yes have 3 venues to check out hope we like 1 of the 3 I'd love to put a deposit down while I'm out there Awww me either lucky I've done alot of saving for both and cheers mate

Oh so you're actually getting married in the Philippines? Are you then gonna bring her over to the UK or are you staying somewhere else?

Yes in December this year so we have plenty of time to get things organised prepared and in order yes she will be coming to the UK once we're married.

I think you have busy days ahead is an understatement, lol you have a busy year ahead, let me rephrase that. Anyway keep us all posted about you and your princess and your coming visit to Pinas.

1. Money Talk - During the job interviews like someone is asking how much you want or earning, etcetera. Apologies I wasn't too clear on this.

2. Nandos Experience is when you order a full-chicken meal but only ask for water instead of soft-drinks. And then you go to the refilling station and look at the staff straight in the eyes while re-filling your glass with soft-drink.

Most staff won't bother since you already paid. Also it's a right of passage for youngsters here from what I've heard. Basically, a bit of law breaking.

3. Yeah, Filipinos will interview you here in London and will try to find out what you do. If they find out that you are a newcomer, with no job or a 'blue-collar' job or a stay-at-home mum with a British boyfriend/husband, they'll prey on you.

Not everyone though, mind you. There are of course some nice Pinoys as well, but they're a much rarer kind.

4. Australia is nice. I've only been to Brisbane once but if you like the beach and laidback life, then it's the place to go. Also Byron Bay (Gold Coast) is just a few miles drive away and it's quite popular as it's the location for Home and Away (a long-running Australian soap opera.)

I've lived in Sydney which is further south and much has a much 'faster life-pace' but still chilled/laidback compared to London.

If he's into the kind of laidback lifestyle and meeting different people, and money is not really his aim then Australia is a good move.
