Do you have a global family?

I do have a very global family. Having a weird ethnicity does that to you I guess... I have relatives in China, parts of United States, Canada, Taiwan, Singapore, and maybe who knows where. I have half uncles and half aunts because of my great grandfather's uh... "wanderings" if you know what I mean.

Both of my parents are working abroad. My mom is in Saudi, while my dad is in US. I live here in the Philippines, and I am an only child. I used to live with my aunt in Visayas when I was in elementary, then I lived with my aunt in Tarlac during my highschool days. So technically, I live by myself since the day I was born, meaning, with no parents. My other relatives are abroad too. Some are in Canada and New Jersey, and they already lived there for good. Now that's what you call a super global family. Haha. Take care! :)

For me, it's a global extended family. While my family is intact here in the Philippines, we have a lot of relations all over Asia and the US and Canada. My parents are Chinese and my mom's parents migrated here from the Kemoy Island of Taiwan, while on my grandfather on my dad's side came from Zhu Hai in China and married my grandmother, who was already born in the Philippines. Our extended relatives, those by families our grandparents left are now either still in Kemoy or in Hong Kong and Singapore, and even Indonesia (though we have no contact with that particular branch). We also have relations in the US, one in Canada we tried to find but failed, and I have a cousin who is living in Taiwan, but his wife is in the UK. For our extended relations, they are happy where they are as long as they have their families. As for my cousin in Taiwan though, I feel that he's really lonely, because as I said, his wife is in the UK, and his kids are here in the Philippines. He calls us out of the blue from time to time, and I feel that sometimes he is lonely and just needs someone to talk to.

As for Global I don't think its Global but my family is all over the United States. I have family in California, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, New York, Massachuettes, Connecticut and Puerto Rico.

We are an international family. Not only do we have family in at least 15 different states we have the Aunts & Uncles who did not immigrate still in Scotland, Ireland and Germany. We have those deployed by Military who are in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guam and China as well as some who have immigrated to Canada. It's really very cool because we can get an idea of how folks live all over with it being more personal then a book or TV show.

Living in another counrty or moving to another country is a big step. My biggest problem is missing my family. Even after 17 years it is still the same and I miss them like hell. I am only in Greece and they in the UK but it feels like light years away. I know you should want your children to travel and see the world but the thought of one of them moving away for good kills me! I love living hre in Greece but I would prefer to have everything and have my family near especially as my parents are getting older now. Do you live in a different country? Do you miss your family?

I lived in England until I was 11 years old and then we moved to Australia. While I am proud of my British heritage, I am a true-blue, dinki-di, rigidy-didge Aussie now. My eldest son was awarded a scholarship to Cambridge Uni and he stayed in England for 12 years, at Cambridge and then London Uni but he is now back in Australia. All my sons have travelled extensively overseas but their homes are here in Aus. My youngest son went to England and worked there for about 7 years, and he married an Irish girl. They enjoyed an 8 month honeymoon travelling through Europe and Asia on the way back to Australia and are now settled here. Their plan is to stay here for two years, and then move to Europe, but I am hoping they decide to stay here. Australia is such a big country that two of my sons might as well be in another country. One is a 12 hour drive north, and one requires flights of about 9 hours. My one wish would be that all my family (including my grandchildren) lived closer.

Hello manong. I have three siblings. Of the three of us, I am the only one living and working far away from my hometown. Both my elder brother and elder sister and my parents live and work in my hometown. Though I am not in my hometown, I consider the city in which I have been living and working as my second hometown and I love it.

Our youngest sister and her family lives in New Jersey. She says she plans to let her children finish college in the Philippines when the time comes. I have no plans of living in another country at the moment. But if the opportunity comes for me to travel, I guess it would only be for sightseeing and not to migrate. I don't know how living it there would be but I have been hearing stories from my sister. I still prefer to live in the Philippines where I have the luxury of house helpers and very close family members.

as for global,I don't think so,nobody of my family is come from countrys except china,so we all are chinese

Hey Manong, I myself am from Ireland but my family are global. I have an Aunt that lives in Canada and another that lives in Australia. I also have an Uncle that lives in Spain. I was thinking of migrating a few months ago due to the recession but reconsidered simply because if you cant get a steady job here what are you chances of getting on abroad. My family seem to love where they live but all come back to Ireland for Christmas. Nice question.
