So I wanted change, but it was hard to make the decision. I did not want very much to leave my parents, my brothers and sisters and my old friends - and I miss them and my family a lot. I also miss the things in daily life that tell you you're in your home country, the familiar little things you're comfortable with, the weather. But that is normal, of course, and it is important to be able to adapt to new situations. And France has been good for me so far.
Life here is good.
For the moment I have no regrets. Our marriage was arranged - we had two days to get to know each other. I'm happy here now. I was a bit depressed at first because of the difficulty of adapting to a new language but my wife has helped me learn French. Since I arrived I have taken courses in computing and running a small business.
