guestThis is the only way to adapt to living in anohetr culture go with the flow. I've encountered so many administrative hurdles over the last 3 years living in Paris, but it builds your resilience and you naturally become more resourceful, finding ways to master the system which is meant to cause problems.Connecting with others who have been through similar battles is also essential because they're always willing to help and give their insight which could prevent you from having to encounter the same obstacles.I've also learned that the expat community in Paris is strong and supportive much more supportive than the same group might be if we were all in the States.No matter where you are abroad, things are bound to be different. But the people that STAY abroad and thrive on living outside of their comfort zone end up learning so much more about life and about themselves than those who choose to stay in one place forever.
