Has anyone of you emigrated?

[Angst]

I most probably never will. Denmark is awesome. I want to live other places temporarily though.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Mmm. Danish Bacon

 

[Babbler]

Nope, and I don't plan on it, either. I wouldn't mind living overseas for a year or two however.

 

[jtb1127]

I moved from Hawaii to Virginia if that counts.

 

[aelf]

David Cameron doesn't want you in England. Quackers probably minds too.

 

[Silurian]

Yes. My family escaped and crossed the border in 1976.

I did not realise you were Mexican

 

[NedimNapoleon]

I moved to the US in 2000, and back in 2005-6. I might go to Slovenia next year.

 

[Tee Kay]

Yes. The best and at the same time also the very worst decision I've ever made.

 

[Artifis]

Well i am pretty sure that actually living in England, again, won't be a problem. Of course in every society where you are a foreigner there are some issues, but England is not the worst zenophobic place by far.

However i was just beginning to break through as a writer, and now don't know what will happen. Also actually moving to England will take time, i cannot just move there and hope for a job, i have to plan and apply and go to interviews.

Anyway, i still hope that it can be avoided. Maybe it is just the tragic climax before the final katharsis. Who knows.

I don't think you should move away just yet. Wait until the referendum actually takes place. That said, you should make plans just in case it becomes a necessity.

As for me, haven't emigrated. But might consider it.

Kansas to Missouri. Trust me, escape is the correct terminology.

 

[Dachs]

Kansas to Missouri. Trust me, escape is the correct terminology.

Out of the frying pan is more like it

 

[Silurian]

Kansas to Missouri. Trust me, escape is the correct terminology.

Was it like going to the Emerald City.

 

[KidJustKid]

South Africa, via Holland to UK. Some regrets, and I do miss the weather, but I go back often enough not to still want to return. I'd definitely choose UK as a home any day, but I've been SO rediculously lucky I'm not a great yardstick.

 

[squall78]

First generation Japanese here. Moved to the US when I was a kid. It's funny sometimes to see people who are like "OMGJAPANANIMESYO", when it's not as the animes and mangas show. I dunno some people take the grass is greener deal seriously I guess. I love the food there.

I do have plans to work in Afganistan a bit to make some tax free bucks. Also Antarctica if I can get time off to work as a controller down there

And if things don't turn out as you expected, just pack and get on the next plane back home. Or better yet, try some other place! The world is huge and awesome, there is no need to be limited by accident of birth to a single place, especially if that place is severely limiting your opportunities, as surely is the case in Greece. If I was Greek I would leave as soon as possible, the horizon for your country is very dark indeed.

Unless, of course, if you have to work towards it for a full 9 years, no interruption, before you are eligible for a permanent residency, simply because you were born in the wrong country...

 

[Tahuti]

I live in the Netherlands, but I'm born in Israel. I don't think it really counts as "emigration" though, since I didn't choose to do so and I am a Dutch citizen by birth. I do consider emigration to the UK, Canada or the US.

 

[kronic]

What makes you want to leave the NL?

 

[Cheetah]

What else? The language of course!

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

I've only emigrated from province to province within Canada. (BC->Alberta->New Brunswick)

 

[warpus]

We emigrated from Poland and are now dual Canadian/Polish citizens, residing in Canada.

We did it because Poland was communist and under Russian oppression.
