Hi hi hi...
I know it's a bit late in the day but I've just arrived. Living in Manila. Properly craving some British sarcasm!!!
I've actually been working here for about 5months already but only just found out I'm moving here permanently so am on the hunt for fellow brits...
Anyone up for some salsa in Havanas at some point?

Permanently? Goodness...

I'm still here but am being reposted to Abu Dhabi in June - I've got a friend who's also a Brit and here indefinitely so I'm sure between us we can throw a little sarcasm your way

Re: New to Manila
 
excellent...although, we're going for supper before hand if you'd like to join us - that would probably be easier than trying to track us down in m cafe.
email me on the above address and we'll sort something out...

Hi,

I have recently been posted to Manila by the office, I'll be here for 18 months. Everyone here is very welcoming and friendly - however I was still wondering how to make contact if anyone from home is around. Things seem quite quiet on the net - any advice? Embassy and BritCouncil not that helpful....

who do you work for and can i get ajob there? i live in england and want to move there with my filipina wife!
