Hello ExpatExchange.com Members!

One area of interest for many expatriates is the need for assistance in
settling in and the management of culture shock. In order to identify
the information most needed by expats as they adapt to international
living, we'd like to know the biggest hurdles you faced in the process
of moving overseas.

Please help us in this project by answering these few questions:

When you moved to Sweden, what was the most difficult part of settling
in there?

How much difficulty did you have with culture shock in Sweden?

What would be the best, single piece of advice you'd give to an expat
(or soon to be expat) in Sweden?

Of course there are differences between my new culture and my native land, and mostly I enjoy the freshness of these differences. What helps the most is that I have a partner here, and she is working. What is hardest is that I have so much language to learn before I am fully employed. Its really about not having the security of a regular income that makes it most difficult. I remind myself that "this too will pass." Or as W. Churchill said, "When you are going thru Hell...keep going!" It is a beautiful country with very many wonderful people, increasingly multiethnic and full of life.
