As you might read in other posts, we’re doing everything backed up with a migration agency. And one cool thing about doing it this way is, you have the change to meet some other people in a cocktail arranged by the agency itself. These cocktails are the perfect opportunity for meeting new people; find those others sharing your vision, the same not so distant future. So, We started the morning already with some short information about those I had meet in the forums but this time was going to be for real, so many expectations to be fulfilled in the cocktail.
Well, today at noon (almost, just a little over 12) the cocktail started and I was anxious to meet the bunch… the gang… these families with the same connection. Little by little everyone showed up and the chatting, laughing and saluting was totally on. I couldn’t imagine that in a year and a half the people doing the same project was multiplied by 400%.... When my wife and I took the solid decision to migrate to Australia there were little more than 100 families and as today there are more than 450 families doing it. Sad thing Venezuela had become an emigrant country (which is different of a country of emigrants)… Anyway, here are some photos of the event.

Epale Rodrigo, recuerdo cuando estuve en ese salon 3 y medio anos atras, alguno de mis amigos me decian que pensara bien mi decision, ahora puedo decir que es la mejor de mi vida. Australia es un lugar maravilloso y con un capital humano interesante.Todas la ciudades tienen algo diferente.
Saludos desde Melbourne

Hola, primero pongo el comentario en español.
Gracias por escribir.
Al primer anónimo me gustaría decirle que cuando comence efectivamente me dijeron lo mismo, luego tuve que atrasarlo un poco. A pesar que ha pasado el tiempo, todavía me siguen diciendo que voy a hacer allá tan lejos a lo que les respondo simplemente, ser feliz!
A Paola, gracias por tu comentario, claro que estaré agregandote. Saludos.
Hello guys, thanks for the support and for writing.
believe it or nor from Venezuela the amount of families is huge... those pictures are just from the cocktail of a very specific agency.. Chatting in forums i have had the opportunity to met even more people and families. The brain runs or mind lost from our home town is incredible, and the reason isn't just political...
Anyway, thanks for writing.
Cheers
Epale Rodrigo, bueno mucho gusto ante todo. Mi esposo y yo vivimos desde hace 11 meses en Perth. Si vienen para aca o a todos los que leen tu blog les puedo decir que hay bastantes familias aqui, claro menos que en el resto de Australia por lo lejos que esta de todo. Sin embargo, se consigue la Harina Pan, y el clima es super chevere! las playas son espectaculares y los venezolanos muy solidarios!
Si alguien esta a punto de llegar no dude en contactarnos!
Por nuestra parte venir a vivir a Australia fue la mejor desicion, hacerlo con VEA tambien! eso si: se da cuenta uno de lo leeeejos que esta cuando llega! jaja
Saludos entonces, mucha suerte con los tramites... y desde ya bienvenidos!
