I’ve heard from a lot of expats who reluctantly have to be relocated to Europe that it could be difficult to adapt back to life in European cities again, some told me they got ‘’spoiled’ by the feeling of safety in Seoul, Tokyo Shanghai or like Hongkong, also the convenience such as accessibility to supermarkets, convenient stores etc. There could be more but that’s all I can recall.
So did you find it difficult or challenging once you go back to live in Europe, after experiencing Asian cities for several years, if not, i would be interested to know why as well.
Something that I miss the most is the fast pace of life when I lived in Tokyo. It may sound wild but I got used to that life and I feel that here it’s too “chill” and boring. At the same time, Tokyo is a place where there will always be something new. The reality is quite the opposite while living in a small city in Germany.
