How to Survive in a Foreign Country

Imagine that you are the airport. It’s 4 pm, and the only thing that you see is people leaving or coming into the country. Nowadays, there are many people that have to leave from countries for different reasons, and then they have to find a better life in another country. It’s at this point when you think about how to survive in a foreign land. First, before leaving for a new country, you’ll have to know at least where you are going. This means the country, the city and maybe the neighborhood. If you have the different addresses and phones number, it will help you a lot. It’s important to know just a little bit about the culture like music, food, religious practices and politics. Some rules that people use in this country are also important, and they are going to be your best friend. Afterwards, you need to know where you’ll find help such as friends, family, even your country’s embassy. Sometimes the most difficult thing to do is to adapt yourself to this country, but you’ll get it if you start meeting people, learning the language and getting a job. Now, you are in a new country, and I want to say please don’t be scared, and don’t be sad. Think that this new country will give you a lot of good opportunities.
