Story
Trabajava en una planta de petroleo, vivia en Abu Dhaby es un pais musulman con gente muy clasista, y con muchas nacionalidades asiáticas como indios, philipinos, pakitanies entre otras, consideradas por la gente local de una clase baja .Eso principalmente a los trabajos y a los salarios que conseguián, sin embargo la gente procediente de America y Europa, estamos mejor considerados y normalmente tenian buenos puestos de trabajo y Alberto trabaja como ingeniero en la construccion de una planta de petroleo, teniendo normalmente su cargo gente de nacionalidad asiatica la gente local nace con privilegios, sin tener que buscar trabajo porque el gobierno les facilita los negocios y buenos puestos de trabajo, como por ejemplo,funcionarios nunca vas a ver un local trabajando en una tienda de ropa por ejemplo.A pesar de que la mente de los arabes se esta abriendo a la cultura Europea seguimos estando a años luz esto se nota en detalles del dia a dia , por ejemplo, esta mal visto que una persona mire a los hijos y a la esposa o esposas de un hombre ,incluso si llamas al ascensor y hay una familia dentro lo correcto es pedirle permiso al hombre para entrar.
Debido a las diversas nacionalidades hay muchas religiones juntas el mes de ramadan la gente no puede comer ni beber durante las horas de luz y la gente tiene que trabajar a 50 grados bajo el sol sin poder beber y si eres extranjero esta mal visto que tu lo hagas delante de ellos , es decir tienes que esconderte para beber y comer.

Historia
Mi madre, Susana, es una emigrante venezolana que parte de su vida ha emigrado a diferentes países como: Trinidad y Tobago, Colombia, Perú y por último España. Su experiencia en los países antes mencionados no fue agradable, ya que al ser madre soltera debió dejar a sus hijos al cuidado de sus abuelos en Venezuela, esto hizo que ella no pudiera disfrutar su estadía en ninguno de los países. Cuando cumplió 29 años decidió emigrar a España, Galicia, en donde vivía su hermano mayor que le ofreció quedarse en su hogar, Susana quería ofrecerles un mejor futuro a sus hijos así que acepto la propuesta. Al cumplir 30 años logró traerse a su familia de Venezuela y desde ese momento por primera vez en mucho tiempo pudo disfrutar de su estadía en otro país.

Story
My uncle Guillermo emigrated to Madrid, Zaragoza and now, he is in León. He works in the Military Emergency Unit. This work is mainly about helping people, going to catastrophes such as fires, snowfalls or trapped people.
Guillermo is very satisfied with this work because he likes to help people.
Guillermo's migration is also due to the fact that his wife Sandra (my aunt) and her daughter Ainara (my cousin) live there.
My uncle voluntarily migrated and is something that he does not regret, except that he misses the family, but he also says that the gratefulness he receives from the people he helps is the positive side of his profession.

Story
He took a taxi at three o'clock in the morning to the airport of Santiago de Compostela, he embarked to Madrid, and from Madrid he took a transfer to Dubai, then went to Chennai, India. Two of his friends from the company where he worked with took him to a hotel, which was very horrible, where there was no shower and he had to take a shower with a bucket of water. The next day they went to look for him in a car, to take him to his place of work, on the way he could observed that the traffic in India was not like the traffic in Europe, it was a disaster of animals and vehicles. Another thing that could differentiate from Europe was the food, because the only thing that he could eat was white rice and spicy chicken.
India has a high population density, and most of them go without shoes. Manuel could appreciate the many spice stands that were there and that the Indians look at you differently and do not have the same respect as the people who are there.
The temperatures were very high and there was a lot of humidity.
When he finished his work in Chennai, he went to Coimbatore, where he was only two weeks. Then it was to the south of the country, where the fauna was very varied, there were monkeys, giant bats and all kinds of reptiles. In India he was two and a half months and finally returned to Spain. His experience in India was very horrible.

Story
Esther is my mother and she emigrated from her town called Granollers (Barcelona) to Ames twenty six years ago, for a sentimental reason.
She met my father during a vacation in Galicia. Later my father moved to Barcelona, where they worked and lived for two years and finally they decided to build a house in the countryside, concretely in Ames, because my father is from here and they moved to live in Galicia.
Soon she got a job in Santiago de Compostela. She was also a pendulum migrant because she moved every day from Ames to Santiago de Compostela to work and then she went back home.
Currently we are four members in the family: my father, my mother, my sister who is nineteen years old and I. We continue living in Ames.
