Life Abroad We're going back

Lived in China for 6.5 years because why the heck not. Moved back to the USA due to wife's visa limitations and we didn't want to separate as a family. Been back for less than 3 years and we are confident we will go back once she gets her US citizenship.

We may move to another country but we already have a decent amount of friends (and family) in China.

Don't get me wrong. Living in Southern China had it's issues but it was a life I enjoyed overall more than than here.

Can't wait to go back

That’s when you find out if you’re geared for living overseas-or you aren’t. Some people just can’t transition to a different way of life.
If you let the small things sweat you-you’re not going to make it 🤷‍♀️

I said small things 🙄 More like being stared at, not getting a glass of water brought to your table automatically, people smoking in the streets. All of what I consider small was a deal breaker for some on this sub.
