I gather it's been an internet/phone relationship up to now.
Do what you are comfortable doing.
And remember, you might be convinced that you are in love, but the
final test is the physical attraction when you meet in person - it's important to be yourself

that is exactly what i am afraid of...loving him here but then the physical attraction when we meet wont be there. it always run through my mind all the time. although he always tell me that we should take things slow, i tried but my feelings doesnt obey it.

Hi Marek1024... I suggest you to cook adobo hehehe... My husbands parents are very tradional in terms of food excepts his 2 sisters... so since i dont know what to cook for them... I let them to try adobo and sinigang... But they more like adobo... I found out also that they have same dish like "nilaga" but the difference is they boil it with leek and it really taste good. You can also serve bbq and fish ^^. Polish people also like vegies so maybe you can also serve some vegetables salad. I also cooked pancit and kare-kare and other philippine foods to my husband and he likes it. My husband loves philippine food but he dont want to try balut and exotic foods hahaha. Good luck to your BF as he see balut ^^

They got married a few years later, and last year I went to visit them in Ireland after seven years had passed! I was nervous, but it was a wonderful reunion and I feel that they are happy and right for each other. The love I had is still there, but with no trace of romance.

Softsong - quite an incredible story... It shows you're a top notch person...

Marek1024 - I fly into Manila very often and love your country. It's the Hawaii of Asia in my view and I live in Hawaii so I can compare...

I know nothing about your boyfriend but I think what you should focus on is the local culture and traditions. I believe that Poland and the Philippines both share a love for the family life - it is an integral part of both cultures. You should show him how friendly and kind the locals are to each other and to people they don't know and I think that'll make him feel at home.

Good luck to you both or Palarin ka sana... :)

I've visited Manila and Cabanatuan the most but I've also been to Quezon City (sp?), Batangas, Angeles and some other smaller cities but I can't remember the names. Subic Bay and the beach area is very nice.

I've met quite a few Philipinos, some poor and some rich, some older and some younger. They all seemed happy and always tried to keep a positive outlook on life which I like. Often I also witnessed how relatively poor people would try to help other, even less fortunate folks. The kindness of the locals is probably what I like the most about PI.

Paalam ;)

What are you doing in Poland? After 3 months you should be able to speak some Polish. And why do you want a girl? What about getting a job or studying?

...My grand daughter's other grandmother told her, "Marry a rich man so you can have a house like that."

So, yes....many times girls are given this type of advice. :-(

That's so passé! I thought the advice young girls were getting nowadays was "marry a rich guy so you get to keep the house and half of his savings when you divorce him."

Am I wrong here? ;)

I'm afraid you will have to face your girl's parents, friends, uncles, aunts and employers. My husband doesn't seem to mind but I go crazy every time I hear "you're in Poland, you must learn Polish now" with this cheeky smile on their faces... It's really annoying. Especially that so may Poles do speak Englisg and so few of them are ready to use it.

To play the devil's advocate here - wouldn't you say that part of being an immigrant is to absorb the host country's culture and traditions, including the language? Of course that doesn't preclude keeping your old customs and traditions as well...
