Thought Catalog, one of my favourite sites, has an interesting article about surviving in a foreign country, in its usual editorial tone. It's here, written by Bart Schaneman.
A few excerpts I like:
"Allow yourself to miss things: food, clothes, being able to communicate easily. Don’t allow yourself to miss: narrow thinking, getting bored, feeling trapped."
"Take comfort in knowing that once you got beyond your country’s borders you already began winning."
"Give up on where you’re from but don’t give up on the people. Your friends back home won’t forget about you. They will move on with their lives without you, and they might resent you, but they will still listen to your stories if your stories are good."
"Try to keep your head."
