I guess it depends on many things, like if you speak the language, know the culture a little bit and you are there legally or illegally.
In my case, moving to a country with a job secured and speaking the language felt like an adventure at first. Then, it becomes really interesting and quite a challenge to learn how everything works, from going to the Dr to trying the food.
There are times that you feel like you miss that feeling of being home or seeing something familiar. Of course, you also miss friends and family, but it´s not something overwhelming if you get out there and start meeting people and creating your new life.
That´s all i can think of right now.

It could feel pretty good if the group/area/etc you originated from is well-liked or respected by the host country. It could equally suck if not.
What really sucks is being treated with disrespect/hatred/etc by your OWN countrymen and women because you resemble a maligned group or are a visible minority in your country of birth.

It is not always easy. Since it is not your mother tongue, your vocabulary is limited to that foreign language you learn-ed at school. You will always have an accent and people will comment on that either by asking "where you from?" or treating you as someone less as you do not speak like them. I sometimes feel that I do not belong, that I do not feel accepted. People either do not understand you or they say "What?"
