What can you learn from living in a foreign country?


A person that lives outside their native country is called an expatriate.  One of the challenges of living abroad may be learning a new language.  It is also important to understand the culture, and be sensitive to local customs and traditions as these may differ significantly from those you are used to.  You may experience new food and drink, and even when and where you eat may vary from your native country.  It is possible that fashions and clothing may vary to accommodate a different climate or lifestyle.  Overall, spending time living in a foreign country will broaden your general knowledge and encourage you to view things from an alternative perspective.
