A Fellow Brit

At the hospital today I had a cool experience. The Filipino nurse taking my blood was giving me instructions and I said to him, "you sound British?"  He grinned at me and said, "yes, my parents are British."  We started chatting and when he done, he said, "You made my day.  It's been so long since I met a British person."  It was really cool and slightly strange!  Imagine a British Filipino choosing to come and work here when so many Filipinos are choosing to go and work in the UK!

Interesting especialy at a nursing level, maybe in a more wealthy profession. However it probabaly indicates more a sense of home is where the heart is. There is always something about home no matter where you live.
