hello from Edinburgh

**quimar** · 13th July 2008

hello,
I just arrived in Edinburgh, 2 weeks ago to be exact and I haven't met any filipino here. Actually it seems that most of Filipino here are quite snobbish. I really want to meet new friends. Thank you.

First of all ... A warm welcome.

Secondly.... For some strange reason It seems quite normal for Filipinas to behave that way....

Why that is, I am not quite sure, but, eventually, you will find a couple of threads on the subject.
There are a few forum members around Scotland, I am sure they will make you feel welcome, and probably you may be able to meet.

good luck

YOU ARE RIGHT and I met some dangerous,acid tounge, snubbish pinays

. But I agree there are sincere ones.

Wish we can be friends! We usually have our saturday shopping at ASDA, Dunbar, about few kilometers away from Edinburgh. You can send me PM, or your friendster if any. You're just few miles away from us. Cheers! Goodluck!

I am.

Welcome Quimar to the forum and I wish you will find the 'typical' friendly Filipinos soon. Keep the faith. Enjoy the forum!

hi welcome to the forum!

**benb** · 14th July 2008

Folks, I live in Suffolk and I too for some strange reason find it very difficult to talk to the Philippinos here especially in Church. They don't like to mix with the locals and tend to group together. I've tried at several occasions to smile when I see them, but I get very strange suspicions looks - for goodness sake, its only a smile, I'm not going to kill you!

This is also true for the Indians and Chinese who have recently moved to the UK.

Oh well, maybe they just need time to adapt.

Cheers,
Ben B

Nice chatting with you! Forum makes people happy

Nice to hear there are filipino scientists in the Uk. Sad, there are no fil. nurses in that hospital, I met 5 nurses lives close to Blyth and 2 of them are my neighbors. Goodluck to your career!

**jmlbp** · 25th July 2008

oh thank..i visit this site again

hi quimar!!! can we meet sometime? am from bo'ness,15 minutes away to edinburgh..anyway every weekdays am in edinburgh..where you live in edinburgh?

that was last month when went to IKEA,i saw pinay with her hubby but she's bit snobbish so doubted to go near to her or talked :(

**andy17** · 26th July 2008

Hi and a warm welcome!! Sorry you have this experience of snobbery... I haven't encountered that from anyone from the Philippines, but I guess there's good and bad in every nation! I agree with Ben B that many of the new Chinese settlers find it difficult to mix openly... it is part of their national culture to be kinda reserved at first.
But, as you can see, no snobs here in the Forum!

**gazlou** · 26th July 2008

Hi Quimar, WELCOME.

**jmlbp** · 26th July 2008

hi andy!!

am here in Scotland for 1 year already but just knew 1 pinay in edinburgh and just once we met and tried text her for go or some food outside but just received no for she has loads alibi that cant go and when had a holiday in Braemar i met a pinay at tescos,i got her number and just received 2 texts from her just,i keeped texting her but no reply...hmmm why some pinay's like that?

**quimar** · 26th July 2008

hello to all members of the forum,
so far I'm very happy that through this forum I already met a lot of pinays here. But right now I don't want to expect something nice na from fellow "kababayans" coz, I'll be only disappointed except for few that are really blessed with being very hospitable and caring but for others if being snobbish is what will make them happy, goodluck!

Hi Quimar I'm from Kirkcaldy across the water. What do you mean snobbish?what did they say?I bet they were a pair of eejits who sip wine with their pinkie finger out laughing at the commoners. They are what we call sook ma erses. Trying to fit in with the money. Be yerself.
