interesting 🧵 I'm an immigrant to US and all your points are spot on. Language and culture - knowing English did not prepare us for the Southern drawl. The overwhelm of choices from cereal to clothes - who needs this much stuff? Missing family - now we are building our own tight circle of friends & family. Time (25yrs) gave us the opportunity to get comfortable with language and expressing ourselves. To be an expat is a huge challenge and I respect all of us rising to the challenge! Good luck!
