I heard that moving is up there on the list of most stressful things in life, next to divorce and lay-offs. But imagine having to move to a foreign country where you don't really speak the language.
Well, OK, that doesn't apply to me in this case, but finding a place to live, enrolling in national health insurance, registering as a resident, etc., can be kind of a pain.
But that's nothing compared to being an adult responsible for spouse and kids, or being without documentation required by some government, or needing a job, or having to constantly be on the move. I still can't really swallow the justification for the idea of citizenship, but someone must be profiting a whole lot from all this people moving around in the world...
Where are you moving to?
ReplyDeletejapan, yo. i didn't tell you?
DeleteNo =( Is this permanent or for your PhD study?
Deletenah, it's not permanent...i'd go nuts if i had to live in a country where it is humid in the summer and snows in the winter. crazy.
