Wow, what a comprehensive reply! Thank you very much Hans! You have put my mind at ease and given our helper a lot of confidence for her first trip back home! We will offer her the option to go home by taxi, but I suspect she will opt to use the money to buy some gifts for her family in Angeles before he starts the trip home.
Once again, many, many thanks for taking the time to be so helpful to us!
All the best,
Wei Fang
