Relatives from Abroad

Thats great. We will do the same here in Mexico come aug. As my dad will retire from usa back to mexico. Cant wait.

Every time my sisters come home, We usually panned for out of town vacation for 3 to 5 days preferably in a nice resort, we see to it that every member of the family is available in that out of town vacation...Other than that, we usually go on beaches nearby our house, we visit our other relatives, and my sisters really love to go malling, eating and go shopping...FUN .. FUN.. FUN.. I'm excited for their next vacation.

Relatives and friends from alien lands can sometimes become overbearing because they try, one way of another, to condescend the Philippines either by boasting about the country they had been from or criticizing the flaws they see in us. When that happens, I put them in place, and make them feel disgusted with their own selves, when they realize that they are violating the old adage adage Ang hindi lumingon sa pinaggalingan..... Then, I play nicety and boast Cabalen and Max's and Barrio Fiesta, show them High Street and Eastwood and Centris, bring them to universities and churches and the public market. We eat and have a good laugh, and we love each other again.

Hi ayeesha! I think this kind of gathering is common in our country whenever our relative from other countries come home. This only shows that we want to be part of the success of anybody from our family. This also shows our closeness to one another. Enjoy your summer!

We will so happy and spend our time by share each other our stories and go to some where to remember our memories. Usually we also escort them to the my other family that cannot meet them in our house. And of course my house be noise and full with laughs. Yes, I think it is a special moment. Have a nice day, friend.

Almost all my relatives, uncles and aunts, live in the Middle East. Moreover, my dad's working in Dubai while his mother, my lola, lives in Hawaii. We also practice what you've been doing with "balikbayans". Cooking all Filipino foods they missed or favorites. Then touring them to places of memory, of nature, of leisure and of relaxation.

Yes, we do that too. We try to give them a good celebration to welcome them home. There will always be schedules of going to the beach or eating somewhere with a "native" feeling because they miss those sorts of stuff. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

I donot have a relative from abroad,i always hope i can have one. when i was a kid,one of my friend she has a uncle from south africa,when he came back,brought a lot of gifts to her, she visited south africa one a year,now she moved there,i really envy her. when my relatives from my own country go back to our hometown,we eat out toghether and have a big party,drive around our city for sightseeing ,talk about everrything,that's really fun

we usually spend party out of town with lots of family and friends with us somewhat beach party and drink and drink and be merry. I love it when someone comes home from such a long years of working outside the country

my dad is in Africa he is working there as driver for a year now. when he came last year we spend it in the province we going out for fishing, picnic and swimming. we are happy when our family complete because it happened only once in a year.

Many years ago my brother's family from Australia (he is PR there) came home to visit us . We arranged many nice places for them to visit and shopping as well. Having a nice meal with them is for sure. We brought them to the restaurant instead of cook ourselves as it is more convenient . It is a good gathering with all the family members as well. We really had a good and memorial time !
