Beautiful nature
Yes, I know it’s incredible, still, from here …
Here are a few anecdotes ..
« And you know what ? In their school, before begining their day, they pledge allegiance to their country’s flag and then to their state’s flag »
« it’s mad, everything stops between 1 and 2 pm here ! »
« And they refused to serve alcohool at the school fair because there are children »
« Impossible for them to participate to the halloween party because of the representations of the witches »
« that habbit of thinking -Yes I can- isn’t very realistic, is it ?»
« We live on the 11th floor ; to move the furniture in the flat/appartment, they got everything by the balcony, pulling it in with a rope from the pavement/sidewalk … »
« To talk to my neibourgh, I had to talk to the doorman first »
« When it is forbiden there, I tell you, don’t even try »
Examples are infinite …
At the begining of an expatriation, the difference seems to be even more important, even more incredible than when we get used to things, or we can accept them.
These differences can be hard to deal with, or taken as a fatality or with amusement.
One thing is for sure, when you are in a host country, you adapt or you feel unease, sometimes, you want to or do leave.
The host country won’t change for the expatriate.
The change has to come from the expatriate.
It is far more interesting to try to understand why things are the way they are, where does that logics come from, where do the roots begin ?
There are always reasons why things are that way. They can either be political, social, cultural, religious, geographical, historical . . .
a little of all that . . .
This approach allows to understand. To build a logics that actually you do not have to accept for yourself.
For this understanding, from this « new angle » will flow more peace.
Because a meaning, an axplanation simply brings coherence.
We can also call this an opening to the other, an acception.
It may feel more demanding at the begining, though it allows to get out of an uncomfortable state.
Much better , what do you think ?
I wish you a wonderful day !
