How to adjust to relocation feelings to another country?

Question

When moving to live in another country, how can you get yourself to adjust to the new environment, as I still feel an ALIEN even after 2 weeks.
P.S.: I have been traveling around before, but never lived away from home/family.

Answer 1

I lived in USA for a while and didn`t think it would be that different to my way of life so it was quite a shock at first..When I made friends everything was great and I started to embrace all the different cultures.

Where have you relocated to.. We all miss our families so call home more. Get involved with local activities.

Enjoy and good luck

Answer 2

If you are feeling like an 'alien; after just two weeks, that is perfectly normal, you havent given the place enough time yet, immerse yourself into the culture of the place where you are, its food and its ways. Two weeks is a holiday period!

Answer 3

When i as 18 i went to work in canada for a year. i'd never be away from home before. for the first three weeks i was really homesick but after that it got better and i had the time of my life. persevere and you will be fine. try and mix. good luck

Answer 4

What , you want to be accepted totally after only two weeks??! Friendships need to be struck up, acquaintances made. Going out mixing with the natives, being part of THEIR culture, embracing it. What else ? The language if different to yours, start to learn it (you'll meet others too this way). Being approachable.

Answer 5

you'll get used to things. just hang in there. usually the difficult times come during the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th month - you miss home, friends, fam, food, culture, etc etc then more than ever.

good luck

Answer 6

be yourself, make some friends !!
