Migrate or not to migrate to the U.S.

[Jun aka Pekto]

How old were you when you moved to the US as an adult?

I am avoiding CA. I want the least amount of Filipinos possible. Even at work, I mix in better with Caucasians.

I made my choice at 18 and proceeded with it at 19. I didn't care if I wasn't finished with college. The urge to leave was too strong. When one of my relatives in the US visited the PH, I went back with her.

I only suggested CA because I thought you might be homesick and need the company of Pinoys. If not, then you have more options.

Here, you can't really choose who you'll be mixing in with. You also have to consider that you may also be coworkers with a wide-assortment of minorities, in addition to Caucasians.

In my field, there aren't many minorities yet. I'm pretty much the only brown-skinned guy in my section, not that my section is big to begin with.
