What's life like overseas?

Three months before pregnancy, that is, early pregnancy, many pregnant women have obvious pregnancy reactions: unable to eat, unable to sleep well, vomiting in the dark every day, dying to live. For those who have just settled overseas, the taste of life during this period is like pregnancy: I can't get used to western food, and I don't know what it tastes like every day; The jet lag is bad and I can't sleep all night. Especially after just a week or two of energy, all kinds of discomfort will flood in, which is very uncomfortable!

This is the first stage of overseas life, the "adaptation stage", which is also called the "dark stage" by many people. According to everyone's adaptability and local knowledge, this stage is long or short, and generally takes one to two years. Generally speaking, almost no one can escape this stage.

For some people with insufficient funds, at this stage, because it is difficult to obtain stable income in a short time, it is even more necessary to scrimp and save, and every penny should be carefully calculated. Finding a job is the key issue at this stage. However, due to poor language skills, it is difficult for many people to find jobs directly related to their majors, and some will temporarily do manual labor because of livelihood problems. Suffering is inevitable, and occasionally you may be looked down upon. Be sure to be prepared in advance.

However, at this stage, overseas Chinese are not all victims. For example, the English level is gradually improving, the scope of social activities is constantly expanding, and the understanding of the society we live in is constantly deepening. Therefore, this is also the stage of accumulating strength. As long as you keep a clear head, more opportunities will follow.

Mid-term-"trial and error"

In the second trimester of pregnancy, the belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the children in the belly are getting stronger and stronger. After the first three months of tossing, "expectant mothers" probably found some doorways, and they are more adapted to "pregnancy" both physically and psychologically. At this stage, the child's growth and development will reach its peak, and the expectant mother will begin to supplement nutrition.

The situation of overseas Chinese is similar. After the adaptation period, I found some feelings about overseas life, and the idea of "backflow" caused by too hard adaptation gradually faded. I call this stage "transition stage". In the transition stage, some people may have found suitable jobs, and some people may have worked in a company for some time, waiting for the opportunity to change jobs and move forward to better jobs and more "profitable" positions. This stage usually takes two to three years.

Looking at the newly bought car and the accumulated bank deposits, and then recalling the panic at the landing place, is it like a lifetime ago? In short, this is a stage of repeated exploration and continuous improvement; Seize the opportunity to go further, and you will find that better is yet to come.
