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

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...
