I guess growing up as an islander I've always wondered what life was like in other places. My sister moved here in the mid 90's "with a guy she met from Ontario" and even tho she claims to miss "home" she never did move back when given the choice. If nothing else it's an experience for myself.
The grass is always greener as they say.

What part of the rock?
Don't get me wrong. It's a great place, most people are friendly (at least a bit.) But its boring/repetitive. Until last Christmas I hadn't been back home in 7 years; and only then was it to see my grandparents who aren't doing too well. I did spend some time with other family, had a few good drunks on, but nearing the 2 weeks mark I was ready to come back up to Ontario.
Money also isn't good down there. Jobs are hard to find and far away.
It's beuatiful for about 2-3 weeks, then you're done/seen everything there is. Unless your idea of fun is sittin' in the cabin with a 24 every night sippin' from that Fort Mac money until it's time to head back up for work, you're not gonna have a good time.
