When I moved to Scotlan...I so agree with this post. When I moved to Scotland, some friends made an attempt to stay in touch and others didn't. For the first 6 months it was difficult to communicate because Skype would never work, our MagicJack was usually turned off (oops), and the stupid chips in our cell phones would run out of money quickly, but then we found out that B's company would pay for a landline with international calling. If they would have told us this when we first moved, our lives abroad would have been so much better! Haha.<br /><br />And I love WhatsApp. :)Postcards from Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050447967374041694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115645535192804961.post-83427924337950827282013-04-05T07:58:22.891-04:002013-04-05T07:58:22.891-04:00I have two long distance friendships and I know wh...I have two long distance friendships and I know what you mean.<br />I miss my girls.Tereza {Drastic Plastic}https://www.blogger.com/profile/08399233223628591078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115645535192804961.post-52897927569504166392013-04-05T03:05:53.612-04:002013-04-05T03:05:53.612-04:00Thanks to share this information.It's too info...Thanks to share this information.It's too informative.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.redwoodmoving.com" rel="nofollow">Long Distance Moving Service</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723961124658902208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115645535192804961.post-77003019931141470792013-04-05T02:45:44.820-04:002013-04-05T02:45:44.820-04:00It's so true!!!

That's when you know it doesn't mean much to the other person!

I moved to NYC 2 years ago from DC (4 hours away) and have recently come to the conclusion that some of the friends I had in DC weren't/aren't my REAL friends. Kinda sad, but I do feel sooo much better knowing who my real friends are now.Setarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08468452077289444925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115645535192804961.post-27062042002284622372013-04-04T16:34:26.295-04:002013-04-04T16:34:26.295-04:00Long distance friendships definitely require work!...Long distance friendships definitely require work!

I was the same...I tried to hold on to EVERY friendship, but eventually it became very clear those who were willing to remain friends over the distance and those who wanted an "easy" friendship...I have become much closer to those who have mutually stayed in touch! <br /><br />and Im pretty sure every single day I say Thank God for technology!Amanda Wissmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857843234671826550noreply@blogger.com
