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.
Absolutely hate having to move to Germany after spending 3 years in Singapore. The stark difference in everybody quality and convenience of life is frankly embarrassing. I travel a lot throughout Europe for work and Germany is not alone in this, but it does indeed significantly lack in everyday life conveniences. Once you live in Seoul, Tokyo, HK or Singapore, you really are spoiled when it comes how easy and convenient everyday life can be.
