I was Just wondering how many people here are Children of Immigrants to whatever country you're in now and if so do you wish they'd stayed where they were or glad they came to a new Country?
.. Mine came from abroad in the 1960's - But as my aunt was saying the other day after she got back from her very first visit to Australia - she wishes they'd gone there now... cos she loves the Lifestyle and the weather and all the lovely beaches.
I've never been myself but I reckon it looks nice from what you see and hear about it.

And yes, I am pleased she did this otherwise she would never have met my dad and I would never have been born
My grandparents came over from Poland after WW2. And I'm glad they did, as post-war Poland was in pieces. Even today it's a pretty poor country. My fairly distant Polish cousin is almost my age, has an MA, and is working in a lipstick factory for the equivalent of 95p p/h.
I think I would have had a very different life if they'd have stayed.
Me too. I wouldn't exist if my grandparents had stayed in Czechoslovakia so obv I'm pretty pleased they came over here.
I guess it depends why someone has moved to another country, moving by choice is pretty different to being a refugee.
Well, there is also this. My dad is from Birmingham, so I think it's a fair bet that he wouldn't have met my mum!
Well you never know my friend, his dad went on a school trip to Germany when he was 16, met this girl and came back to England and him and the girl stayed in touch and soon after that she moved over to England and they got married! I think that's such a nice love story
From what I hear there's more Irish living outside of Ireland then in it
A plague of the Irish!
I dont think that really counts though so im not sure why I answered.
Around 80 million people around the world have Irish heritage. There was a great Irish diaspora all the way up to the early 90's.
Wales?
Where are your parents from then?
I would much rather be here than in China, speaking of which I might have well been dead by now seeing as I had appendicitis which exploded when I was younger, I don't think my chances with the Chinese medical services would have been that high.
I don't think I would have rated my younger sister's chances at being around that highly either for obvious reasons
Yeh ya racist fuck. :angel: :thumb:
Lol fuck knows where you came from
My other half is Swedish and Sicilian so does that make our daughters Celtic, Scandinavian and Sicilian or does it make them...
... English? :razz:
