PINAYS IN AMERICA??? "HAPPINESS," or Homesickness, Intolerable Suffering, and Tortuous Adventure

PLEASE COMMENT

This question is probably aimed at Pinay Ladies who have traveled overseas. Anyone who has married a foriegner, especially an American.

In my travels I have had the opportunity to observe cultures in four continents. Wide disparities in geography, religious practice economic realities, social communities, and political institutions.

However, I was ever conscious that I was the visitor, I was the one who would go back to home. As best as I tried to acclamate and befriend my new home. Endeavored as I might to adopt my new home and foriegn land; to be a good expatriot. The fact was I knew I would one day return home.

Ladies,
MY QUESTIONs: What have been the hardships of moving to America? How did you deal with absence from loved ones? How did you deal with your homesickness? How did you deal with loneliness, culture shock, isolation, different Geography and weather. How bad was the difference between America on TV and America under your feet. How did you cope. What were or are the hardest things for you to deal with.

Important!!! What inside your being equipped you with the courage, strength, and endurance to face such a dramatic change in your life?
How was your husband, his family, and his Friends of assistance and support to you?
Was America all you had hoped it would be?

I would be honored by your responses. Dave

GREETINGS EVERYONE!

I have to believe that a number of Pinay ladies have come to America and discovered that it wasn't a Bed of Roses. The movies and television do not show it all. So many experiencial differences between the Filipines and America.
I can think of a few off the top of my head:
shopping, money issues, The WEATHER!! shopping for Cloths and SHOES!, Food and cooking, homesickness,relationships, any prejudice?, etc.
For so many, it has been the happiest time of their lives. A great
Adventure! NO REGRETS! However, it couldn't have been the easiest thing in life to do - to move to America. How'd you do it? How did your husband, new family and friends help you?

Thanks and God Bless! Dave
For so many
