🌍 From the Philippines to the UK: A Warm Welsh Welcome! 🏴


Six years ago, a nurse from the Philippines began her UK journey, and soon discovered a delightful truth: Welsh people just might be the friendliest in the UK! Known for their warmth, the people of Wales have made a lasting impression on her.

Sharing her observations on TikTok, this NHS nurse, who goes by romaa.lee, highlights British quirks, from the significance of tea to the unexpected charm of UK weather. ☕️🌧️
She’s all praises for the work-life balance, especially cherishing the weekends and generous annual leave. Yet, she finds British food a tad bland and misses the late-night eateries she’s accustomed to.
Living here, she’s embraced quintessential British habits like saying “sorry” and “cheers” frequently. And of course, there’s the quintessential pub culture, where socialising often happens over a pint.
Her TikTok features snaps of Cardiff Castle and more, showing her integration into UK life while navigating the NHS’s diverse workforce. Despite the long waits in healthcare and the challenges of public transport in rural areas, she remains grateful for her journey.
People have eagerly shared their opinions, expressing gratitude for her contribution to the NHS. Navigating through misconceptions about immigrants, she highlights the costs and contributions that come with living in the UK.
Six years down the line, she’s adapted, evolved, and still appreciates her UK life. Cheers to new beginnings and the enduring kindness of the Welsh community! 🥂
