Re: The Ping Pong Thread
Were the ping-pongers all ping ponging because of job transfers or where any of them "self-inflicted" because they simply wanted to try somewhere new for a while?

It is in some ways too easy to migrate, and in others incredibly hard. I think the easy and hard parts are different for everyone, and you don't know what you're going to sail through and what will flatten you until you've been through it. We need a ping pong smiley..... |

Perhaps what we could all do with is a padded cell so we can bounce around to our hearts content without having to get on a plane :eek: |

However, I believe they were transported for a certain period of time and could return. The catch was that they had to fund their own way.In any case, once they could make choices most of them found life down there offered better possibilities than they'd had back home. Don't know a lot about that, but I read about a group of French-Quebecois transported for a rebellion in the early 19th century. They were notable because every one of them saved the money and returned to Quebec. So it had a lot to do with what the convicts had left. Perhaps like a lot of us here! Bev |

Wow, I just got whiplash reading that! :eek: I thought I was a ping ponger having moved from the UK to Fl, then Fl to the UK, UK back to FL and now finally (uh-huh) Fl back to the UK in the near future
Can't get moving around out of my blood it seems. Does worry me a little...what if it happens again when I get home :eek: When I'm in a more confident mood I tell myself: I already feel too tired for this move. By the time I might feel like doing it again I won't have the energy, so I'll have to stay put :rofl: |
