Emigration really has to be the last resort. I picked the above countries as they mean something to me and I'm lucky enough to have friends and/or family members living there (wth the exception of Switzerland). But your point remains valid and will be a major stumbling stone for anybody who faces emigration.Margit https://www.blogger.com/profile/17830126186468062827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712793603818833281.post-41296085242960203652016-10-11T00:22:24.403+01:002016-10-11T00:22:24.403+01:00How do you deal with starting over at a new place ...How do you deal with starting over at a new place without any friends or family?

I can't say I remember any muslim presence in that decade except for Turks, who kept to themselves. (good deals on bikes in that area) :-)<br />Reading/seeing what is happening in Germany with this maniac Merkel is disheartening. I have familial connections in Dusseldorf and used to go there many times but, again, not since the 80's have I been back.<br />It sounds from your post that it is as bad as 'they' are saying and one has only to read news stories and do the numbers to see that, yes, it must make a normal life impossible. <br />In Canada we had a good Conservative government until last year which had vetted refugees to be only families with children and not very many. This new Liberal government and PM Trudeau has laid that sensible plan to waste and has a Merkel-like response to this madness. <br />Having said that, Canada is a huge country and somehow has, so far, absorbed any coming here.<br /><br />I sometimes think I would like to go back and see Europe and also London where I lived as a child, just to see what has happened to my old neighbourhoods.... or not... <br />Good luck with your eenie-meenie-minie-moe :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285322300429027326noreply@blogger.com
