<li>Vacations</li>

<li>Visiting relatives or friends</li>

<li>On a work assignment</li>

<li>Out shopping</li>

<li>Other causes that don't make them change residency</li>
</ul><br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 119]</span><br /><br />If they declare that there are more than four people who went to live in another country, use a different questionnaire; cancel the number of people printed and note on the side the consecutive number that corresponds.<br /></svar>
