The only thing that is slightly annoying is the time difference.
It's hard to be away when people get sick. Missing weddings, births, funerals etc is also tough. It's even tougher (and more expensive) if you have kids yourself and need to visit the UK. Kids also mean that your vacation time is restricted due to school. |
Re: How do you handle it?
Yes its tough, leaving my family (not to mention friends) behind was a MASSIVE decision for me. But I absolutely love it here, and my own little family is really benefiting from the lifestyle. What my kids are missing out on not being close to their cousins etc they gain in the space and fresh air.
But, I've only been here a few months so time will tell, right now facetime, skype etc definitely makes it easier. Good luck! Its a hard choice to make but you only have one life. Go with your heart : ) |

Great place. I remember going there in 1992 on my 2nd or 3rd date with my now wife after skiing in Collingwood. Great food and a fun crowd. Back then it was owned by a real character from Australia.

On the ground floor it was a high(ish) end restaurant and downstairs was a cozy pub. Is the setup still the same?
Only actually been in once, we live on the other side of Highway 10 to Mono Central and having no family here means no babysitting service! But yes we had a nice meal in the upstairs and I believe there's a bar downstairs, although have heard rumours its a 'members only' type situation. |

He's from Brighton; the only person I've ever met who pretended to be an Australian. Perhaps he's a Pakistani now.

The lady behind the bar serving drinks had a striking resemblance to Juliette Binoche which was rather distracting. :thumbsup: I hadn't heard that it had become a members club. The website doesn't seem to indicate that. |

When I went it was noisy and the place downstairs was called Peter's Cellar or something like that. Why if you were from Brighton would you pretend to be Australian.?

We all chase a dream, but often we must realise accepting reality is the better path.
A Canadian acquaintance who wants to move to Europe for a "better" lifestyle for him and his family asked me what i loved about Canada that you can't get in the UK. Other than access to mountains and related activities, i couldn't think of a single thing. He then asked me, is it worth leaving your longtime friends and close family for that? I told him it may be different if you're moving from a not so nice area to a nicer environment, but he countered with "surely you can do that within the UK anyway and not lose touch with those who matter in your life". Genuine questions and i didn't have many answers. We're debating whether we should consider me moving there since she has to go through so much to transfer her profession to Canadian standards and already has a foundation set up there. |
