My biggest goal in life right now is to move to another country...Canada is my dream but it's a rather unrealistic dream so far. Why Gibraltar? Except the fact that the place is paradise on earth (island, sea, warm weather, tropical place in other words), I can only speak English and German.<br /><br />Anyway, I assume you probably got asked the same question before...what about the "getting a job" part? I would appreciate it if you would give me some tips towards finding something to work...how the entire job thingy works there in general.<br /><br />Thanks and have a nice dayPessonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254540975363067070.post-34712079824265680132013-09-01T00:17:09.245+02:002013-09-01T00:17:09.245+02:00Hi,

It makes me proud and happy tht my little hometown has made such a positive impact on you. I have always said that, for any non Gibraltarian visiting or coming to make it their home, you either love it or hate it.....there is no in between. There are loads of other aspects that makes Gibraltar what it is and I think the most important of it all is that in the main we are all charitable people willing to help anyone who is in need whether it is materialistic or academical or spiritual. I thank you for the great way in which you have described my home xxxxxOrli Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279242008801779330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254540975363067070.post-21578227301759759902013-08-27T16:54:21.033+02:002013-08-27T16:54:21.033+02:00Gill Poyser-Young commented:

You have summed up the emotions and feelings we all share. I was born in Gibraltar and left at a very young age, but made Gibraltar my home again in 1989. It was the ideal place to bring up children and where I felt happy, and safe. What I feel about Gibraltar and its people is that the moment you make friends with them they become an extension of your family. The are a caring, compassionate and proud people.

And we were Expats there too! I remember learning the "See it, buy it" mantra at Morrisons quite quickly, and the craziness of the Christmas weeks when people had two trolleys and were fighting over mince pies. The next year there were hundreds of mince pies and it was Christmas puddings being fought over! <br />I loved the fact that I could walk everywhere - pushing a double buggy - especially as I didn't drive. And yes, so friendly. I remember meeting a local for a coffee one day and she spent half the time chatting to all the people who walked passed. It wasn't long until I was doing something similar.
