From ash to fire
Back in Scandinavia we have a saying when you leave something bad going to something even worse it is "going from ash to fire".
Was thinking about this when writing about Libya. I have an acquaintance who was born in Sarajevo, you know the capitol of what now is known as Bosnia? Part of former Yugoslavia, and where the 1st world war started.
Anyway, when she left Sarajevo she moved to Libya of all the places in the world. Talk about going from ash to fire! Luckily for her she now lives in Switzerland. All is well that ends well.

just 'cos I know you're keen on language ;) - the english version of this is 'out of the frying pan and into the fire'
Thanks! I was trying to remember.
