The honeymoon period
At first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure．They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an extended holiday．They don't mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture．They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes．
Trouble in paradise
In many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be．As time goes by，they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache．In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background．
The road to recovery
Gradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them．This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank account．This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness．
Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem．The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country：you will not succeed．If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind．
