Alot of women out there feels that marrying overseas or uprooting permanently is so glamorous, especially when they see a friend who married a “white man” go home to visit their parents, family and friends. The perception is so far from being the truth! oh don’t get me wrong.. the “white man” is great.. but all the other things has to be taken into consideration as well. Like the weather..! and the kinda food we cannot get here.. or the child care or even the hospital care.
I was at the hospital the other day.. and met a filipino lady who also married a Canadian.. and the first thing she said.. was the weather is killing her. Of course, we didn’t continue talking.. because she had to get to her appointment.. and I had to rush home. But yes.. if you thinking marrying overseas is glamorous, I tell you it’s not. I have never missed home so much in my entire 43 yrs of life.
