My dad is currently in the United Kingdom visiting my sister who lives there. For most nationalities, visiting is a maximum of a couple of weeks. “Visiting” for us Filipinos means six months or so depending on the extent of the Tourist visa granted for the particular visit. If it says one year, then we visit for a year! In my dad’s case, he was granted six months stay!

This is his first postcard. My sister has so much in stored for my dad’s trip- hoping to get to as many neighboring places as they could. First stop is Durham which is where my sister is based.

I am looking forward to more postcards from my dad!
