Filipino life - expats in Cavite?

10 years ago
Hey all!!

Been a while since I was on here as was in the process if moving over to the PHilipines from the uk. You guys helped me a lot with some info I just couldn't find online, this site really is wonderful for sharing knowledge so thanks!!

Well I have been here a month now and boy oh boy it's been a roller coaster!! But a great one!! Biggest shocker (and I know you warned me lol) was the FIlipino time!! Nits so laid back and if you agree to do something at 9am you can bet its 11am before you get started! But you know it's a breath of fresh air compared to the rat race in the uk! very laid back and chilled!!

Getting our internet set up was a test, but we got there in the end!

So far so good for us, very hot which again is welcome compared to 5degrees in Scotland!!

Lastly we have met no westerners since we have been here which is fine as we have filipino friends who have been such a great support!! But it would be nice if there were any meet ups for expats to share stories have a natter etc, does anyone know of this in Cavite? We live in lancaster estates 1 on Kawit side.

Hope to hear from some of you

Take care
