It turns out that there's a sizeable Filipino community here in The Hague. I get the sense that it's a bit transient; a lot of Filipinos from the Philippines (I haven't met any second generation types like myself), who intend to go back someday as their families are there. We found this church that holds this great mass every other Saturday for the Filipino community. There's even a Capampangan lady who brings food for after mass. Excellent! The mass is held in half Tagalog, half English, and I found myself able to understand a surprisingly large amount of the Tagalog. Of course this doesn't help Kyle much, but he seems okay with it. :) We met Lourdes, who has a 4-year-old daughter in Manila who is spending the summer in The Hague, so there's another friend lined up for Sofia and Soleil!
