It's hard to say goodbye

As everything in life, all the things that start have to finish, the problem is when they were so good it’s even harder to say goodbye to them...

This Friday my husband finished his two years MBA, and although we were travelling a lot to different places, and in my case I just started to live definitely in London a few months ago, (in other words without trips or travels to Mexico) I feel that we already have a family in London. We made great friends here and now is time to say goodbye to some of them. The majority are from Latin-America but also in our group we have some people from Europe, America and Asia... you know is normal in London to have people from many places in the same group. In Mauricio’s generation there were around 315 persons with around 65 different nationalities, that was amazing!! Anyway...

A big number of them have to go back to their countries, even when they were planning to stay here. Why? The reason is this horrible crisis that is involving all the countries over the world. Obviously some countries more than others and England is one of the most affected because London is one of the biggest financial centres in the world and precisely the financial sector is one of the most distressed all over the world... Many people have been laid off from their jobs and there are some others that cannot find one. It’s difficult for everyone, but it is even more for us, the foreigners, because the companies prefer to give jobs to British people before other nationalities and to be honest, is very logic and understandable.

Back to the point we are in the middle of one of the saddest moments, we already started to say goodbye to people that we love, and we know deep in our hearts that we won’t see some of them ever again.
