How to settle abroad?
When you arrive abroad, buy a map of the city where you will live, and hang it on the wall. This will help quickly navigate in a new place. Find a club or a cultural center of compatriots and a consulate of your country. Who will teach you all the wisdom, how to live in a foreign country, as not a fellow countryman who lives in this land. There are fellow countrymen in any country, look for them. Even if someone else's homeland has accepted you well, you can not do without communication with people of your nationality, without a native speech, and national holidays should be celebrated with someone.
Compatriots can be found on the Internet. Naturally, the language needs to be learned in advance before moving, but if not learned, it does not matter. When you are in a foreign language environment, in two or three months you will be able to communicate with people at a household level. This is despite the fact that you will not look in the dictionary or textbook and will not do it yourself. And with a training computer program and a textbook, you will speak in a month, everything will depend on your zeal. It is better to learn the language on language courses for foreigners. In the early days, do not chase after impressions, trying to learn the country or city "volley". You just exhaust your strength, both physical and mental, because the discoveries are exhausting. For anyone who wants to live away from home, there is a key word "quietly." To get used, really get accustomed to a foreign country, we need months, not years.
If you feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, or you begin to be horrified by the behavior of local residents, language, order, do not panic, it will all pass. So there is a shock, it is not infinite and it is not easy. It is important to understand that no one will adapt to you. You need to accept the way of life of this people and this country as they are. The most winning strategy is curiosity, quiet interest. You will learn quickly if you ask and remember more. Do not judge even in your thoughts, and even more so, aloud, other people's customs, until you figure out why it happened.
For example, in the Arab countries they take food from their own meals. If you had lunch at hospitable Mohammedans, do not grieve the hosts and do not disdain, because the dishes of oriental cuisine are very tasty. Perhaps you will find that there are hands not so bad already, but much more convenient.
Now about food. For people who have moved abroad, other people's food becomes a test. Maybe you will also have to miss your favorite salads and soups, if you do not find the products you need for them. Learn to adapt someone else's food to your tastes, but it's more important to love the local cuisine. Because the products that the local population uses in a given country are always cheap and affordable. Try and get used to it. The fact that you will live, for example, in Japan or in France, does not mean that you need to turn into a Japanese or a Frenchman. Nobody succeeds in this, and why? Proudly talk about your religion and nationality, do not be shy about your accent, do not scold your homeland, be what you are. Those who hold themselves so, the society of any country will accept with kind interest and respect.
