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.
Look at violent crime stats of Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo and compare them to London, Paris and Berlin. Per capita, Asia is much safer. The “sketchy” areas of the Asian cities feel like Disneyland compared to the sketchy areas of Paris and Brussels, from my experience.
